SGC 9mm Lever release - something black continued

[Dangermouse]

With the fore grip removed, showing the non standard barrel nut which will require special tools to remove before a after market fore end can be fitted.

I cannot see the way the nut is gripped, is it pegged or similar? Any chance of a close up picture?

Pictures of the lever release cam and the catch that stops the thing going semi auto,

[Dangermouse]

Hows that?

The thumb lever moves the shiny part with the black O in it. That cam is slightly oval and moves the lever touching it by 1-2mm, enough to release the bolt.

very nice DM :goodjob:

I've seen a guy at our club shooting his, he's got an EOTEC on it and they do look the part.

I hope it brings you many happy hours of shooting fun party2

Removing the barrel, the thing you need is called a peg spanner, assuming it is a standard size it should be well under a tenner. If it is silly money give me a shout and I can make one.

[Dangermouse]

I am told that Bob uses a lot of Glue when putting these together so it may need more than just a spanner and some elbow grease. At the moment I do not have a vice and would be very hesitant about heating the thing up.

I had not realised how easy it was to change these barrels, it would be nice to get one longer than the 13.5" or get a fully moderated one - just for fun of course.

No doubt when I get a new fore end I will get sorted,

A heat gun will break the thread lock or whatever he uses. So I assume you just drop the locking nut off, unscrew the barrel, fit the new one and use the nut to set the headspace?

[Dangermouse]

Apparently head space is not a issue...

Just do the new nut up tight and it will pull the barrel in to where it needs to be,

Sounds too easy to me but that is what I am told,
