I was doing a PR out of a PSA / FN 14.7 CHF upper and had it ready to send off to ADCO for a pin/weld, luckily I snagged a Brownell's DD FSP before I did. Now the thing will get sent off to get done up w/t DD RIS II FSP at the same time it gets pinned. And the DD showed up today!

I have a differing opinion than most around here regarding Colt quality, but that is a pretty solid deal that has me really thinking. Problem is, even with the $150 FSP RIS II from Brownells, I'd still be in a decent penny after the ADCO shop work. Shipping, upper disassemble/reassemble, cut and rethread barrel, pin SF3P. Well over $200 in shop work and shipping. And still need a grip and stock from there. |

For all of you with a 16" barreled Block II...ever feel like that 16 inches is just a wee bit too long
 ? I have a mk12 clone (with A2 buttstock) in the works and the 16" Block II is only like an inch shorter! And for those of you that went from a 16 to 14.5, are you happier with it now, was it worth the cost of swapping out/cutting the barrel?

And for those of you that went from a 16 to 14.5, are you happier with it now, was it worth the cost of swapping out/cutting the barrel?I use to have a 16" barreled Block II, got rid of it in favor of a 14.5" barreled model. Handled all right, it was a mid-length (still have no idea about this so called "better system"), but still changed to the 14.5" barrel. I did this for the shorter profile, IMO better handling, and after using an issued M4 for the last 10+ years any 16" barreled AR with a carbine gas system looks and feels off. I currently own one 16" and am in the process of selling it, any other one I own are 14.5" barrels with pin/weld FH. |

I bought on of the FSP RIS II for no reason other than it was a good deal and I was going to order a die from Brownells anyway. I also just ordered a 6920 OEM 1 from buds because less than $700 for a Colt seems like a good deal, regardless of quality it will always be in demand and I doubt I'll ever loose much money by selling it or parting it out if I so choose. I have a couple sets of CAR and M4 hand guards if I decide against putting the RIS II on it and a bunch of stocks that I could use. |

~Augee with RIS II or RAS? My "favorite" upper is my 14.5" URG with RIS II (non-FSP). However, if we were talking "real life" and I actually could only keep one, it would be with the RAS, because it is closer to what I would be issued. ~Augee |

Question for the thread (but I'm making eye contact with Augee):
Given KAC's Relationship with military sales, and given the URX 3.1 rails have a removable lower half that doesn't affect free float integrity; was the URX rail ever a competitor or trial rail in the M4A1 SOPMOD program?

Here's the thread:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_12/285466_.html Posted by SMGLee in 2006 - I won't repost all the photographs - namely because they belong to SMGLee, and because there are a lot of them...
But for some basic reference: KAC URX: 
ARMS: 
DD: 
And as a bonus - the originally intended use for the "non-FSP" RIS II - 
One of the more interesting things to look at between the RIS II submissions if you click on the link are the different methods that each company used to tackle free floating the M203, since traditionally, it was barrel-mounted. The irony is that by the time the RIS II really became common in the field - many units had switched to the H&K M320, with a completely different mounting method - and in some cases has necessitated returning to non-FF KAC RAS equipped URGs for use with the GL. The other interesting thing to point out is that - 1. The RIS II was not originally intended as a rifle length, or "extended" handguard - it merely was intended to be free-floating. 2. Along with that - note that all of the RIS II submissions were intended to retain the fixed FSB - the now non-FSP "M4A1 RIS II" was originally intended for the M16A4. 3. Selection of the DD product necessitated the creation of several different "unplanned" models - note that if the KAC or ARMS submission had been selected - there would have been no need for separate "MK18" and "M4A1" RIS IIs, nor for a "GL/SSC." A single rail would have been able to accomplish all of the jobs that DD has six different models for (MK18, GL/SSC, M4A1 + FSP variants of each). This doesn't mean that extended versions would not have later been used/come out - but again - that's all hypothetical. It would have been quite interesting to see what things would have looked like had one of the other models been selected. ~Augee |

Why the change? I'd keep the non FSP and use the ACOG. I think he needed to trade it to get the ACOG, then picked up a $150 Black FSP deal.

I'd keep the non FSP and use the ACOG. I traded the FDE RIS II, 553, and Taupe 99051 for the ACOG. So now I get to decide if I buy a new bbl with a F marked installed or pray that ADCO can hook this bbl up with a new FSB. (this bbl currently has a chopped down and pinned FSB) and I know somebody's going to say it so I'll explain. Most bbl's and FSBs that are drilled/ pinned together are a match. Meaning unless you get super lucky, most won't be exchangeable with taper pin holes aligning perfectly. Which puts me in a pickle. Ask ADCO if they can figure it out, or buy a new bbl when I can afford to. |

This bbl doesn't have a whole lot of life left in it, so I may just shoot it out like this, piss off the clone police, then buy new bbl after this one's shot out. My clone OCD is gonna be bouncing off the walls tho.

Looks like we'll both be looking for some Colt SOCOM barrels.

Definitely need another SOCOM bbl. Maybe I'll recommend a barrel trade-in program with BCM.

Definitely need another SOCOM bbl. Maybe I'll recommend a barrel trade-in program with BCM. In just a little while, I'll have a few clone parts that can hopefully be traded/sold to get that barrel sooner.

Outside the barrel looks fine, but the inside is what worries me. |

In just a little while, I'll have a few clone parts that can hopefully be traded/sold to get that barrel sooner. Sweet. Send it on down when you get it. I'll hold onto it for you for safekeeping. Just make sure it either has an FSB or was never pinned if it has/had a low pro.
Tmender- mine is around the same round count. I have it numbered at 1700 counting the previous owners round count guess. But I wasn't the first owner so who really knows. I wouldn't worry about it honestly. Your gas port is going to erode no matter what you do, minus not shooting it. Just keep shooting it until it starts keyholing, then swap the bbl out. Nothin to worry over

Tmender- I edited my last post afterwards to add your response just incase you didn't see it. |
