So, I bought the HuxWorks trilug muzzle device and it appears that one of them is out of spec because the YHM Trilug mount adapter doesn’t wanna work on my FDE Stribog. however they both work on the Black stribog so, is that threaded piece supposed to be loosened or there’s that gap you can see in one picture to make it work or do I need to pull the muzzle device off. And put it in the lathe and cut the backside of the lugs off just a bit or do I call huxworks and have them send me a new one. Any of you guys have experience with the 45 caliber trilugs?

I got the black one in yesterday, re-zeroed both at the range since I changed the sights around. I just can’t stand that gear head works retracting stock, so I took it off and put it on the 9mm. I like this sig but I think I will need to get another strike industries with riser like I have on the black one. My ADHD is quietly telling me I need the a 10mm now…not today Satan!

Speaking of Satan, yes that is a toughsoul tactical light on the black one. Yes it’s cheap, light and it works. Satan won’t be getting that soul anytime soon. How long it works…I don’t know. For $26 bucks I don’t care. It has a flip up guard on the switch pad to keep you from accidentally pressing it. It’s a nice idea but it has no tactile or audible click when it’s in position.

With a life time of shooting guns the wire frame retractable stocks have always sucked in opinion over a side folder. This gear head works that came with the purchase is no exception. I tried hoping years of technological break through would have changed my opinion but it failed. Have both options at the range, the strike industries is superior and half the price. Lesson learned. Fortunately for me, someone screwed up the sale price when I bought the FDE and I got it for $1150.00. A win for me, but it doesn’t change the fact o have to spend that savings to fix a bad design.

If you are on the fence I suggest skip the retractable stock, get the one with no stock. Buy a KES if you just have to have the tacticool retractor. If not, the solid money is in the strike industries brace or stock. Also, get the aluminum pic back plate from either HB industries or strike industries. Keep in mind both may make your rear pin a bit tight to insert or take out.

That’s my 2 cents, hope it helps someone.

I had the black AEMS on this but then I bought another SP45A3 in black, so that sight will go one the new one. I bought this holosun in green and I like it much better. The sight window is larger and it is solar back up. The FDE color almost matches the receiver perfect.

The laser light combo is a Votatu…I know what you are thinking but I have used and abused a lot of this gear from this Chinese company and they hold up and keep working. So I went with one of there newer models. Their FDE color doesn’t match but I don’t care as it is function that matters. This has a very bright over 1000 lumens light output, green laser/IR laser if you want to run nods. It is fully selectable and battery life is fantastic. At least on the other models I have bought. Aluminum and steel construction. Here is a link to this one it is lighter than the other one I have tested on my AR which I will leave a link to both. I’m not a sales men for their gear, I just like the price point and their stuff is rugged. You can find this cheaper on Amazon.

Here is the black one and I should have bought this instead but the Tan was not available at the time. I have ran a lot of rounds through this on my AR and it is awesome.

PSA: if you get the Gear Head Works wire frame Brace or stock it will not fully close using the HB industries BHO. The second picture is reference to this.

I bought an AFG and cut the wings off because I couldn’t find the right one. However, I kind of like it without the AFG. Opinions?

Second, I ran rounds through all the mags except 2 of the FDE ones. I had 2 first round FTE’s, however I did not use the BHO to engage I used the charging handle on those, so that might have been the issue. Second, 2 mags I could load 26 rnds and 2mags I got 28 rnds in each. The are GP mags not HK. I ran 2 mags of gold dot LE g2 JHP 230gr +p without issue. A little more kick but I was stacking bullets 25yrds. The braced stock sucks without a doubt. So, I ordered a cheek riser from Sker Tactical, I hope it takes the brace from suck to a keeper. Otherwise into the junk brace box it goes. No, I want the find a good priced Black one.

Here is the real great man setup, small adidas backpack from Ross 14.99. It fits my rig, 3-5 extra mags and a suppressor if needed as well as a bottle of water. Walk through a crowd or down a street and no one would even take notice. Add thick .5” packing foam in the bottom so the barrel does show and doesn’t clang if you set it down.

I have an MP5K with my trilug mount it is the same length and felt weight empty is the same. I had friends asking so people coming might want to know. I have been running 147gr subs in my bog and have not changed the angle from the factor delay. I got away from the HK’s because of have to worry about angled bolt setups and which grain bullets etc.. it’s gets exhausting not to mention broken extractor springs.

At price the Bog just eats everything I put in it and keeps on trucking. Even the newer curved mags work great for me. In the second photo I put the lingle lower on the minibog. The SB tactical HK brace is removed for the strike stabilizer. I’m just posting these for info because it was hard to find pics of different brace options and to answer some HK comparison questions others might have.

This is my other Bog, I just got the strike industries stabilizer in and it is solid for the money compared to the SB triangle and the Sig brace. Metal hinge and metal shaft, the stabilizer is polymer. Optics planet had it sale so I got one to try out. You can also see sling mounts on here if you are in the market for one. The diagonal hole sling mount is cool but without gloves you run the risk of losing knuckle skin or a fingernail. It does make a nice gas pedal though. I have the HK style SB tactical braces but I took them off for 2 reasons. They don’t fold on the left side of the gun and they don’t lock in place. All three (Sig not pictured but is in another post of mine) of these lock and stay folded, you have to pull up to unlock. So, which one should I run with?

I have a lingle lower gen 1 on another bog. I bought this A3 polymer lower and noticed the BHO needs some shaving to function smoothly. I really like the grandpower lower. I just have a lot of CZ mags so I bought this to try out. I have a rise trigger and ambi selector installed. Yes, I have the folding charging handle on the S model and I don’t care if it hangs over. The Sig brace I got in a trade and makes it really small for compact spaces like a vehicle. What did you guys do fix the BHO on the A3 polymer?
