Someone buy one and send It to Stoner for hardness testing? If someone had one, they could stop at almost any machine shop and have it tested. Wouldn't take 5 minutes and probably wouldn't charge much, if anything. I would do it for anyone that wants to send one this way. |

Dirtied up the Warden today on the CQBR. Really tames that side blast, my buddies could still withstand standing next to me.
Oh and while we were at the bar enjoying beers and burgers afterwards, I was able to score a taupe KAC front sight off of eGay.

Arsehole. I need another KAC front. No one even placed a bid on it and I had been watching it for about a week. My buddy goaded me into placing a bid (and the beer didn't help  ). I'm guessing no one bid on it since it has some wear, I prefer that over the pristine look of a new one any way.

I also need to track down a KAC rear. I have 3 Matech's and 0 KAC rears. Putting a Matech on a Mod 1 would be sacrelage, but I may do it temporarily at least.

I like the fact SF utilizes the same lock up system as their SOCOM cans. Everyone was genuinely surprised how well it worked and was built. The nice thing about not using them on a SOCOM muzzle device is that you can clock it to where ever you'd like. If my light was on the other side of the rail, the button would be under the light and would be a pain to get off. |

I say build it homeslice. After every military rifle I've cloned at this point, the standard issue M4 (mine is actually an M4A1 clone judging off parts and profiles) is and will always be my favorite rifle in existance. That and the Mk12 of course. |

I have an extra threading spacer I cut (made 2 for my all Colt build) So if you decide to go all Colt and snag a 14.5, consider my extra spacer yours. I just got an FN 14.7 barrel yesterday and it is damn nice. Has a SF brake pinned/welded to it tho, to motivate me to go to a can friendly state. Just beware, the 14.7 FN SOCOM barrels don't have 203 flats, not that it matters much. |

Alright I am about to jump into a build. How "correct" would it be to take a colt SOCOM barrel and chop it to 10.3" for a build?

The only difference is the barrel profile from barrel nut to gas block. While the SOCOM profile is a better profile for heat syncing, the government profile is what's in use by the military on 10.3's. P.S. I'd rather have the SOCOM, and nobody will even know it Is SOCOM as it'll be covered by the rail. |

I am sure there are examples of the CQBR/MK18 with a SOCOM profiled barrel in use somewhere in the .mil |

SOCOM is heavier so I prefer the gov profile on CQBRs. |

We have a very limited sampling, but so far, the B suffix numeric barrels are contract run barrels with mi spec gas ports. Non B suffixed numbers are commercial brrels, presumed with .082 or so gas ports. |

SOCOM is heavier so I prefer the gov profile on CQBRs. Just double checked the Mk18 Mod 0 and M4A1 URG Techincal Repair Standard. Correct barrel for both is the 10.3". This barrel is a 14.5" Govt profile M4 barrel cut down by Crane to 10.3" and on the Mk18 Mod 0 the front sight base is left on. On the URG, FSB removed and two dimples are added on the bottomside for the low profile gas block set screws to lock in. I do not have the Mk18 Mod 1 TRS in front of me to check. Standard barrels for SOCOM M4A1s 14.5" are either Govt profile or SOCOM. I haven't seen any SOCOM barrels cut to 10.3". Thats not absolute, just what I've seen. CD |

Thanks CD.
I found some of your post about using 14.5" Govs on the M4s but nothing that said you had done 10.3" SOCOMs. |

Finally going to jump into the NFA world. With the 41P looming I decided I better get on it so I should have my trust by Tuesday and then I'll send off a form 1. I'm going to use my current Block I and re-barrel it into a Block I CQBR. I'll probably sell the current pinned barrel and pick up a 16" Colt 6920 barrel and have it cut down by ADCO.
The only real change besides the barrel swap will be trading the ACOG with my other Block I and using the Aimpoint Pro and Wilcox mount that I have for this one.

I have a MK18 Mod 0 but can't justify a CQBR build because you can't find the rail unless you buy a complete DD Mk 18 upper. Such BS we can't just buy the rail by themselves anymore!! |
