Hi all,
I've lurked on the forum a bit, but recently made an account. It has been great reading discussions you guys have had on hardware and accessories, really helped me out.
I've got a few questions though regarding my shockwave:
1. I replaced the stock follower (and safety) with an aluminum one from NDZ and noticed that the end of the magazine spring near the exit of the barrel had a green finish of some sort that slightly came off with some CLP. Anyone know what that is?
2. Is the heatshield that comes stock with the SPX variant removeable? I'd like to get under there for cleaning, but I don't want to bust anything up yanking on it too hard if it's permanent. It feels quite sturdy when pulling on it by hand.
3. I was thinking of getting a "Vickers Padded Sling", I noticed the SPX has two stock mounts (or rings? not sure on the terminology) would the Blue Force Gear "Side Release Swivel" be the correct mounting solution?
I'm open to advice/criticism so don't hold back.
