    Same... to protect the brass, not the rifle.

    Those black velcro stick on patches are good.

    Got to try out my toy this weekend just been. Just hit a few targets.
    Found the 5rnd mag doesn't like 5rnds. Only feeds if 3rnds are in it WTF??

    So after speaking to my tame AR specialist, I removed the spring from the mag and cut 8 complete loops off the spring.
    Now it feeds perfectly and can take 7rnds

    I did that with the one my R15 came with too, but I cut off too much and then it could take 10 haha... So I jammed a piece of plywood in there and now it's perfect, if a little hori

    Has anyone had experience with the Magpul form Aliexpress?
    Is it genuine? or airsoft ripoff crap?

    These are like US$56 in the USofA...
    Magpul MS4 Dual QD Multi Mission Sling(QD MS BK) on Aliexpress.com

    And these aren't even released yet in the US.....
    Magpul RSA QD Rail Sling Attachment Mount free shipping-in Hunting Gun Accessories from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com

    And this Troy mount seems too cheap as well...

    Yeah that's what I thought.

    Those RSA QD attachments haven't even been released in the US.
    Supposed to be available March so hopefully they'll be out very soon.
