1720T thread!

[DARKHORSE1967]

Yes, I’ve been telling forum members about AR for a while now.

Told the owner to lower his shipping cost months ago and he did, but it’s still kinda high.

Here is another great stock option for the 1720T

Hey PG, how much work was it to fit that stock?
I bought a Prod today, located a trigger pack and a stock.

I usually don’t get along with wood working, but I could find a way.

Maybe Mackeral wants to part with his spare?

Bit the bullet and ordered a Huma reg. Realized if I sold this gun I'd regret it, so...

Still not super jazzed about losing the tank gauge, but that's ok. Hope I don't bugger up the install

Shot mine again today. It is a wonderful platform.

You don't have to give up your tank gauge

You'll need to remove the OEM fill nipple and replace it with a right angle tee adapter. I use this one from Mcmaster:

McMaster-Carr

McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

www.mcmaster.com

Assemble like this (You'll reuse the gauge you removed for your Huma:

You'll also want to replace the OEM fill nipple with one that has a self contained check valve. This is the OEM:

You' want one like at the below link as there is no longer a back stop for the OEM check valve when using the tee adapter:

Deluxe SS Male Quick-connect Fitting with Male 1/8 NPT and Removable Check Valve

High quality Stainless Steel male quick-disconnect fitting with removable check valve that will only allow air to enter through the quick-connect fitting.

airtanksplus.com

(I also found some cheaper ones one ebay)

It sucks not being able to monitor the PSI in the tube. This is great solution that has worked perfect for me.

Hello @sobdiver

Very nice and neat fix to allow the gauge to be used.

Wow! Thank you so much. Simple, sensible all of it. Appreciate it!

When the fever hits, it can be bad. I love my 1701 and 1720, I couldn’t not have the 2220 Prod, right?

A used one showed here yesterday. Nothin fancy, but last touched by Motörhead.
Runs a little over 19fpe with FTT 14.66 for about 16 shots. It came with a TKO, it is as quiet as my 1720, but I can’t hear anyway.
In my world this is big medicine in a small package.

The bunnies were out again this morning taunting me and the Buckdog.
I can assure they will not be eating my garden this year.

Nice! I've got a Wokbutt on mine as well -- big improvement over the basic aluminum bar I had originally from TKO.

They’re too expensive (more than $80 shipped) for what they are though, Larcat sir.

Mine was brand new, too, and unused from a GTA member for half the price.

Yeah, I posted a WTB and got an old one at a very reasonable price -- wasn't willing to pay the ask for a new one.

Got the idea from this company in the UK

First mod complete.. Took about an hour total, mostly getting the nerve to take the first cut. Breaking in my new hobby milling machine.

Next will be some sort of stock to turn it into a carbine. I already have an RAI AR style stock and I like the minimalist look , but I am thinking a nice wood stock for something different.
