    HSGI Taco seems a good option but their “belt mount” seems to leave a bit to be desired. Are there other, maybe polymer, maybe quick-attach, ways to attach a Taco to a belt?

Once on it doesn't slide around any more than any other belt attached do-dad. They are also a little tight for my liking - the plus of that means that they retain the magazine well and there is not problem pulling the magazine free, but there is a learning curve and still a little fumbling to get the magazine in the pouch, especially when you keep the magazine at the 7-8 o'clock.

    I think I even have some tek lok and maybe even a taco in the workshop now that I think about it...

    ETA:
    well double dumbass on me, I didn't even know there was a polymer taco until I replied and then googled.

I’ve also added a Tek Lok to an original style Taco by using wire ties thru the holes in the Tek Lok and then around the elastic in the body of the Taco. I was surprised how well it stayed put but the polymer Taco is more better.

    I didn't find the clip to be all that reliable in holding onto the belt, myself, but part of the reason may be the pouch I was using with it had a really weird implementation of molle, so the clip didn't quite go on it right. What ever the reason, I found putting the pouch on my belt a bit fiddly, as I had to take care the clip grabs onto the bottom of the belt. Removal of the pouch was very easy. But at $8 a piece, not an expensive thing to try.
    Got my polymer Taco and Tek Lok clip and assembled them. Forgot that blade tech only includes three screws but I’m sure this attachment pattern will be fine. I guess the three are meant to go down the center.

    Going to try and play around with it this evening.

    what do we like for "best" safety with shelf/notch? Links to a specific model that will work with my PSA appreciated. Not knowing all of the terminology I'm looking at Krebs website not entirely certain which is the right model, for example.

    I don’t like the notch on enhanced safeties, would rather use a chamber flag and not have a hole in the dust cover.
    I know on some ranges etc it’s easier for people, but I’ve never seen the point.

    I’ve got orangutan fingers and am a cheap bastard so I still run standard safeties like it was 2005. The Krebs MKVI linked up thread should fit your rifle and nobody I know has had a problem with them (the only one in stock on Krebs website is for saigas and has the detent further foward on the lever) But I couldn’t find any in stock anywhere with a quick search.

    I also just found this on AK operator union’s store that I’m going to buy. It should fit your rifle as well, but isn’t notched if that’s a concern.

    I like the AK Operators Union enhanced safety over the Krebs. Although I haven't tried the AKOU second gen safety. I also have tried the Legion USA safety.

    I would avoid ones with the BHO notch.

    Attachment 56115
    Really feeling stupid here, or I’m missing something.

    Tracked down the Magpul sling cup with screw included. Oddly it’s slightly longer, and apparently larger OD, than the one I bought with no screw. All I want is to have QD sockets on either side of the stock. Didn’t know it was going to be such a pain in the ass!

    I absolutely have the skills and tools to force all of this to work, but I feel like there should be an easier plug-n-play option here that I’m somehow missing. Past experience has taught me that usually when I have to start cutting and drilling and hammering on brand new parts I’m generally doing something wrong or have the wrong parts.
    The small hole in both sockets is threaded, meaning even if all this was to work I’d have to first thread the screw through one, then stick it into the stock, then insert the other, and then somehow turn everything to tighten, except that the knurled bits are supposed to keep them from turning... or I could drill out the threads on one socket but that doesn’t resolve the other issue below of one socket being too long. Or the screw, which I won’t know how much to cut off until it’s installed, at which point I may not be able to get it out...

    Here you can see the shorter one that came with no screw, and the longer that came with the screw (which, also seems to me to be too long).

    This is the shorter of the two sockets, inserted on either side, sitting flush with the plastic (as I’d expect them to)

    The longer socket, that came with a screw, that won’t go in to the stock without banging on it, which I’m reluctant to do since then it’s going to just sit proud.

    Here you can *almost* tell that the longer one is ever so slightly fatter than the shorter one.

    RS Regulate GKR-7MS

    New handguard dropped today. It’s a mere 3.75oz with hardware. It’ll allow you to keep your cleaning rod and you can swap over the heat shield from your oem poly handguards.

    Finally got the new GKR-7MS installed. Helpful tip - use a heat shield. It traps the front bracket making life so much easier.
