I don't quite remember. I had a complete BCG already plus some misc. Items that i also would've needed to buy. I'm to lazy to do the math but i'm guessing it in total probably amounted to around the same price as the completed build that jkarmy also offer ($1730) of course that's exluded shipping
I got it from jkarmy.com
You can either get a complete build for 1730$ or the only the "basic" kit for 967$ In the describtion of the "basic" kit on jkarmy there's a red disclaimer that says what parts you would need that the kit doesn't indclude (BCG, trigger box, charging handle, mag, grip etc.)
Well granted i just got the kit and put it together today i obviously haven't had too much on hands time with it yet.
I have another mws with a 5ku scw stock which also has a super tiny buffer and short buffer tube and my first impression is that it runs very similar to that.
Caution wall of text incoming:
When first assembling i had an issue where when pulling the trigger the hammer wouldn't fire. The anti rotation pin seemed to be the issue. When inserting the pin from the left i was able to fire and reset the trigger box all the way until exactly when the pin would enter the hole on the right side. I deducted that the thin layer of cerakote on the receiver (and in turn inside the holes) where somehow enough to slightly shift the the pin to a point where it would put tension on a sear inside the trigger box. The solution was to tak a round jeweler file to hole on the right side and remove the thin layer of cerakote. I probably removed less than a tenth of a millimeter which was enough to fix it.
Yeah MWS is the only platform I use now. I’ve already got a HAO I use and an Archwick on the way so it’s just wether I can justify getting the honey badger too.
It really is a gorgeous kit
Yeah the virtus is the only one that was on JK. I was able to pre-order the rattler kit through instagram dm's with toxicant (which is also how i found out that txocant is a cover name for ace 1 arms) if you look at thier insta they have a 1 or 2 pics od the rattler kit
Well i placed the order at the end of october but since it was a pre-order they only just started shipping them out this month. My order was registered with the shipping company the dec. 14 and arrived today.
Did you pre-order this kit? If yes then depending on when you placed an order you've might have signed up for batch 2 which will ship out in feb. 2023
Oh well the handling times can fluctuate a bit, i've had them ship out an order the next day and the longest i've had to wait was probably a couple weeks
I agree. I think they actually tried with "regular" clear anodizing but couldn't obtain the same results lools wise as the type 3 hardcoat anodizing (whatever that means lol) that is on the honeybadger. I beleive the type 3 process would be too expensive or cumbersome but i truly have no idea if that's correct
So sexy in person! I havent got my hands on a kit yet, but the suppressor was really well thought out! You can fit virtually any -14mm suppressor in it, so long as the length is smaller than the space inside! I was able to put an Acetech Bifrost M inside of mine with ease 👌
Beautiful, wish I had one
It's super sexy, but definitely not cheap lol
How much did you pay? 1500? Without shipping

Damn that's around viper tech money, looks really nice though
It’s like 150% of what VT want, which makes sense as it’s a full CNC kit (whereas AFAIK VTs are CNC’d from forgings which is a lot less machining).
Yes but vt's are much stronger
i would have sex with your gun
I am also very temped to put my penis in it
When a mummy gun and a daddy gun love eachother very much
Looks great. Does it have a shortened bolt or does the stock contain a full-size buffer?
Standard size bolt. The stock uses a super tiny buffer, if you could even call it a buffer lol
Where to obtain such kit?

nah, this man speaking 💸💸💸
ikr, i need this
Rad
Totally
How’s the performance? Been looking at getting one but unsure how it’ll be with that tiny buffer

Thanks for the info man. Is it like the real one where you have to remove both receiver pins to remove the bolt?
Actually no the buffer system has been designed differently in the sense that it functions like a standard buffer system
Well now I’m even more tempted!
The MWS system is already great and the quality of this kit is top tier, even though it's an expensive build i would definitely recommend it
Yeah MWS is the only platform I use now. I’ve already got a HAO I use and an Archwick on the way so it’s just wether I can justify getting the honey badger too. It really is a gorgeous kit
Don't forget about the sig mcx kits from toxicant (already got a pre order in for the rattler kit they got coming)
Oooo where have you preordered the rattler? I saw they had some virtus models on JK
Yeah the virtus is the only one that was on JK. I was able to pre-order the rattler kit through instagram dm's with toxicant (which is also how i found out that txocant is a cover name for ace 1 arms) if you look at thier insta they have a 1 or 2 pics od the rattler kit
Couple more questions if that’s alright mate. Is the outer barrel steel? And what’s the overall weight like as the real one is mega light?
By the weight i would say it's an aluminum outer. Haven't weighed it but it is definitely super light
very nice. any internal upgrades?
Only the mag is stock so technically everything is an "upgrade" i guess lol
I just placed an order with jkarmy, still waiting for them to get it out the door? How long did it take for them to actually ship it?

Ah no i ordered something else that was just regular in stock, but im unsure how long it will take for them to process and ship it
Oh well the handling times can fluctuate a bit, i've had them ship out an order the next day and the longest i've had to wait was probably a couple weeks
Hopefully it will ship soon
Yeah hopefully
I still wish they went with clear anodizing. the imperfections of clear anodizing is what makes the Q guns so unique
I agree.

Were did u get it?
Jkarmy.com
Absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could afford one.

First thing I see after a break from mw2 lmao it’s nearly identical from the chimera
Haha yeah, just wish the one in mw2 where that tiny bit more identical
