Title: Modded MK2 Fac
Post by: DAVYW1 on July 15, 2025, 05:28:26 PM
Hi gents,
Decided to update my mk2 Rapid fac with a Sabre Tactical HM1000x chassis. I had problems getting proper cheek weld since i fitted the Zulus so this has sorted that. I love the tactical look!

Yep, they do suit the tac look,
I almost bought a sabre chassis but was lucky enough to find a 3D printed half chassis on the bay,
& then decided to machine a second from a block of Delrin, but the sabre under rail looks much cooler.

Think they are on back order in most  UK suppliers. Hard to get unless someone has a spare handy.

Yes gunner, that may be the best option if you want it anytime soon. Just so you are aware the chassis needs a bit of machining to make a mk2 block fit correctly.
