I remember the first time I tried to knock the FSB pins out on a barrel back in the day. At the time I didn't know they were tapered

Yeah that was a pain. Especially with the LMT upper. That front sight didn’t want to move once the pins were removed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_7013_JPG-3177949.JPG @Combat_Diver it seems like every time you've posted a KAC 600m rear sight it's been attached to a non-FSP RIS II URG. Whereas for the FSP RIS II, if it gets a rear sight at all, it's exclusively MaTech. I understand the FSP URGs are more likely to have been "born" with (or inherited) the MaTech, while the non-FSPs are often negated a rear BUIS altogether. I'm just wondering if you recall ever installing the KAC 600m rear sight on any FSP uppers given that you've previously said end users would sometimes receive the option. For my part, the only KAC BUIS I've ever seen on a FSP RIS II was a 300m.

I’m so used to every 10.3” being called a Mk18, I kinda forgot that in the army side at least, they get issued two uppers and a lower, and the accessories really are what determine CQBR vs Mk18 Mod 1. Maybe after I finish my Holland, I’ll hurt my own feelings and go down another clone rabbit hole. |

Standard M4A1 14.5" Mother Army upper, 14.5" URG/URGI and 10.3"/11.5" URG/URGI. Navy remarks and only keeps one upper per lower hence they do remark lowers for property book reasons. |

What’s the reasoning behind issuing both 14.5”s? |

Standard M4 belongs to mother Army and when gun gets turned in, that upper goes back on. Other uppers are just wearable components. M4A1 is a TO&E item. Now the ODA may NOT have them but either at BN or GP, tucked away. |

For some reason, when you said 3 uppers, I was thinking Block 2 upper, URGI 14.5 and URGI 11.5”, not sure why I thought that. |
