How the hell do you determine the difference between the airsoft insight lights and the real ones. I saw a replica at the range today (I'm sure you can guess what platform the guy was rocking it on) and it not only looked spot on but functioned spot on. Is there a way to tell the difference in these things so I don't buy one or get scammed? |

Just got an email from Braceman about my lower being finished. :)
My goal was to swap all of my Colt 6920 lower parts group/trigger over to the A1. Is there any additional lower parts found on the A1 that are different from the M4 that I'll need to switch out to be clone correct? From what I'm reading, the later model M16A1 had parts that were shared with later M4s/A2+ (pivot pins, mag release, bcg release, selector, etc..) Correct? |

I did test fire for function this past weekend and it hit steel at 100 with the irons on all 10 shots. |

Yeh, NF x24 prices have stabilized...... At least for the last couple weeks. I'm sure anything marked "Nav-Spec" or "recon" marked will still command
and continue to command an ever increasing premium. What I've noticed over the years, is the trend to shell out stoopid money for an item, when it is either no longer made, or on limited production runs. I wouldn't say over. If one is planning on an accurate clone, just expect to pay a premium at whatever price the market currently bears. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By IronBalaclava:

It won't do you a ton of good if you're trying to build all the clones, but if you want to dump one for another, then it seems like a good option. Just something to consider. But, yeah, as long as people are paying ridiculous prices for things, it is hard to fault sellers for seeking top dollar. It does lead to hoarding and a loss of consumer surplus, but there's not much you can do about it in a free market other than walk away. MRE RAS are sweet as hell, but you can get a complete KAC SR-15 upper (or, hell, a complete rifle at what that thing will eventually sell for) for that price, or any top-of-the-line suppressor. Of course, that's up for each individual to decide. Demand and scarcity is a cruel mistress (as mentioned). |

The Gen 2 will have 1 alignment slot on the top of the buffer tube that uses a set screw to hold in an alignment “nipple” to keep the tube from rotating. Gen 3 Socom Stocks will have a square “nut”(the part the adjustment button screws into) It will have a gusset with a tapped hole on both the left and right side of the gusset that will allow you to mount the upgraded Ace sling swivels, this gusset is not reversible. The Gen 3 will have 1 alignment slot on the top of the buffer tube that uses a set screw to hold in an alignment “nipple” to keep the tube from rotating. Gen 4 Socom stocks will have a “pill” shaped “nut”(the part the adjustment button screws into) It uses an ambi receiver end plate and extended and oversized castle nut.(the over sizing and extending help to strengthen the connection between the stock and the lower receiver) The Gen 4 will have 1 alignment slot on the top of the buffer tube that uses a set screw to hold in an alignment “nipple” to keep the tube from rotating. |

Never swapped out the front sight for the wheeled one, even though I've got 2. No sweat on the SOPMOD, I prefer it. Use an ARMS base & rings for the scope, maybe works a little better with the PVS-22 that way, plus a bit higher cheek weld works great for me. My Marine Sniper buddy said we haven't scratched the surface on mods. I even swapped out the side rail for a longer one with QD point, I'm carrying this rifle, not GI Joe. Line is the rifle must be shootable and right for my shooting style. That's why all the JSOC rifles are changed up and the standard units are basic as issued. |

Join the crowd, the wait for one of these lowers is just silly. You can snag a McKay Industries A1 in May but I have heard mixed reviews on their A1 lowers. |

Same here, I was lucky on a few items, picking them up from someone that wasn't in tune with the current market or didn't care. Got a couple of items from buddies who had stuff lying around and then there's an item or two that I care not to reflect on how much I spent for them. I never really cared for the whole clone thing, not even when I was AD, but there's always been something about the Mod 1 that kept nagging me and I finally caved. I am glad that I got started when I did but boy do I wish I had built it a few years back before the craziness set in. |

So I know this setup isn't kosher, but I bought it for my block 2 and have since decided to go another road with optics so I moved it to the mod 0. I just don't see a red dot being functional on the trr.

NDS is the only place that has their lowers machined from A1 forgings besides Brownells which sources the forgings from NDS. NoDak does not machine the receivers for Brownells. McKay does a sloppy job of reprofiling A2 lowers to A1 spec https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/690192_.html&page=1 |

Now worries on the scope and mount, there are numerous variations of the SPR in Afghanistan with larue/badger mounts etc. |
