Some issues that I have ID'd:
Magazine Capcity: 5 in the tube from the factory. I have made mine 922r compliant.
I have the +2 factory extension and the Nordic +2 Nova/Super nova extensions so I now have nine in the tube.
I am about to buy two of the FFG one peice Titanium tubes.
Good call, although I have had better luck with Kip's products, there is a wait for them. FFT if you want it NOW.
Magazine Spring: What is the roper length spring for a 9rd tube and who makes the best prings? i am using Nordic Components trimmed to about 16" outside the extended tube as a starting point.
The spring that comes with the 7-shot tube from Kip will work fine. I presume FFT's should work, too, as everything I have seen Kip come out with, FFT tends to clone as closely as possible, and a spring isn't exactly rocket-science. I bet they are nearly identical.
Follower:I am using the Noridi Components lightweight follower
Most any should do.
Stock: The collapsible/Non collapsible spistol grip stock just doesn't seem as fast as the field stock. so I have ordered field stocks.
Check out the Urbino?
Bolt Handle: The stock one seems undersized. I have an over sized on one of my shotguns, was thinking baout an FFG titanium 3/4" charging handle.
I didn't like mine. Either get their 1/2" one, or wait until Kip gets his back from finishing in black. I'm going the 2nd route as Kip's are lighter.
Bolt Release: Anyone know where I can get a bolt release button that is brightly colored? I have a purple one on one of my M4s and want something simelar since it makes it real easy to find my shotgun when its in the rack with all the tacticool shotguns.
You could use enamel paint to paint any aftermarket one any color you wanted. Otherwise you are stuck with one of them polymer versions that our out there.
Trigger: Who makes the best trigger/Hammer assembly?
Anything else?
Half dozen one or the other, FFT offers one that is NP3'ed, but it has had some spotty reviews. Stick with stock or Geissele.
Carrier modifications?
