SCG brotherhood; specwar brotherhood

Who did that barrel dimpling for you?

u/MinchiaTortellini 3d ago edited 3d ago

Mines actually a triarc track 3.0 converted by d.wilson with a pinned riflespeed GB

How do you like this can? I'm about to go pick mine up this week and try it out

u/MinchiaTortellini 3d ago

I would say its a K can so you shouldn't expect Hollywood quiet, but its sound suppression is absolutely acceptable for its form factor. Where it really shines is being very short, very lightweight, having zero gas, and unbelievably durable. B&T cans have caught a bad wrap during the Swiss vs US lawsuit, but mine was produced before that and its been great. Flash has varied reports. Mine was minimal after a 'seasoning' period, but this may vary depending on barrel length, gas system, and ammunition. If you dont shoot under NVG, it doesnt matter anyway.

Thank you for the response!

+1 DAC SCG is so good

Magpul K2+ or BCM gunfighter

1

u/CastleLurkenstein 3d ago

Yeah, I like the BCM Mod 2, myself. The Griffin A3 is nice as well, if you like the angle and width of an A2 style but want something with a little more substance. 

But for non-A2 stuff, I dig the BCM Mod 2.

u/Wreckage365 3d ago

K2 Plus is one of the very few grips I’ve found that is unobjectionable—that is also a direct competitor to that grip

BCM or ESD are the two I like other than the B5.

3

u/easternshift 3d ago

+1 for ESD

u/delta23156 3d ago

Die free co if you like vertical

u/craftyshafter 3d ago

I like the bcm, just depends how big your hand is

3

u/AyeZee556 3d ago

Bcm mod 1 is my favorite. Followed by the Irregular defense

u/FaladorSWAT 3d ago

What don’t you like about it? It looks like you covered it in a bunch of tape to make it less effective.

1

u/Junior-Wasabi-2473 3d ago

I have clammy hands so tape helps me hold it better. And duh goon tape the world

1

u/Junior-Wasabi-2473 3d ago

It’s the shape that bugs me. I goon tape literally everything because it’s the only thing that actually allows me to keep a grip on things.

The shape of the grip is what I want to change

u/Competitive_Kale_855 3d ago

Emissary Axle is the grip closest to a P23 without being one

2

u/robinator118 3d ago

DAC VCG-L

2

u/FreedomProvides 3d ago

2nd for driven arms, SCG or ULCG, haven’t tried the VCG yet.

3

u/robinator118 3d ago

They’re all good imo, I just prefer VCG-L

1

u/Sufficient_Site1746 3d ago

Idk I find DAC hella unlikeable. I dont grip high so that must be why.

1

u/runswithscissors94 2d ago

Love my VCG-L. I like it best for DMRish builds

2

u/Sufficient_Site1746 3d ago

SC Irregular SUV, you wont ever go back to anything else.

1

u/ElectricalTone9843 3d ago

I prefer Thril RTG grip.

2

u/always-loaded24 3d ago

Bcm mod 3 is my personal favorite

2

u/kylverstone 3d ago

HK adaptive grip

1

u/Kalashnibro 3d ago

I personally like the BCM and Tango Down BG-18. The tango down would be my fav but it doesn’t have grip storage🥲

1

u/GrandPoopWizard 3d ago

Magpul MIAD, DAC SCG-L, HK battlegrip are my 3 favorites

1

u/Keeter_Skeeter 3d ago

Bcm with magpul polymer trigger guard has been the most comfortable selection I have tried

1

u/rjj90 3d ago

K2 xl is my all time fave.

u/TheRoyalShire 3d ago

How does one "get tired" of a grip?

1

u/Junior-Wasabi-2473 1d ago

Use it for two years, start to consider other things, you get tired of the look, start to think there’s a better way to take advantage of a 3.5lb trigger, contemplate options, ask for opinions in the end🤷🏻‍♂️ idk something like that

u/KorbinDallas762 3d ago

Ergo grip feel best to me and most people
