Mako? Haven't heard of them myself.

I watched some videos of people shooting this or similar products. One video showed them firing with a suppressor attached to the Glock, and you could see by the rise of the suppressor that the gun was recoiling inside the stock. That didn't look too functional.

Yep. Now that I look at the pics a bit closer it is just a shell style chassis. The MechTech conversions actually replace the slide and barrel instead of just covering it.

I saw some that replaced the barrel with a carbine length. Regardless, not something I'm planning on doing with my KL-1.

mattel

Laugh .....but mattel actually made parts for the M16 back in the 70s and early 80s

I remember getting a set of new hand guards to replace a broken one while i was in basic training back in early 1980 that had "Made by Mattel" stamped on them.

Yes...yes...I was aware that a boat could be made out of concrete, BUT how useful is it? Not too practical for several reasons. Weren't you in the Navy bullit? You should know that! ;D

Concrete sailboats are pretty nice. They sail all over the world.
