make sure to use the phantom plate.

do not use the stock plate... no way to swap springs and stuff later without complete desoldering.. (huge time waste)

Save yourself the trouble and get the mod friendly plate.

Any idea how much a phantom plate would run me?

Looks great!


I really love my MX Greens, so tell us your opinions on the Ghetto Greens when you finish.


I would agree with tp, that a Phantom plate is easier on you, but it's not completely necessary, especially because you would have to wait for another group buy.




A plate would be maybe $25, if not less, but it's the availability that you should be focused on.

Good luck finding a Phantom plate or universal TKL plate at all. And it would probably cost more than $25. There is an interest check thread for them but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon. Beast said it would be after thanksgiving before he could do another run.

Looking good rekthor. Looks like you're ready.
