Someone over in the Mk18/CQBR thread just sold me their M4 RAS for a song, so now I guess I'm gonna have to chop the PSA barrel down to 10.3" for a Mod 0. I was just gonna send it back, but I can't let a good rail go to waste.  I can't figure it out. You got the M4 RAS for a song? Or is it a bong? Thong? I thought he was giving that stuff away for free.
I need to stumble into money to get some more clones started up. (A4 and block 2) Need to get my 80 percenter finished too, then I'll have twin M4A1's for this thread. Already got the second upper finished, just need the damn jig for the lower. MILSPEC, I just finished a 80%, so I would like to finish a MK 18 CQBR too. I need an A4 also, but the problem is I need a new safe before I can build any more clones. The struggle is real my friend. If only jigs and safes grew on trees.

Hey y'all, I'm not sure how you guys feel about clones that are not exactly true to the spec sheet, but this is my first shot at it. With college and all, funds are tight. I have been collecting the parts for around 6 months now.
PSA lower with B5 SOPMOD stock unmarked PSA upper unmarked PSA BCG with 158 steel bolt like new KAC RAS with panels and grip Matech rear sight, or Colt carry handle. Have both, have not decided which to use. Well-used surefire M951 from the EE. Here is the biggest clincher. 14.5 M4 barrel with pinned and welded Izzy flash hider. Yeah, I know, I know, but I couldn't pass up 130 bucks for the whole barrel assembly, with FSB. Should be a fun build. I am looking forward to how it turns out. Any luck, and I can scoop up genuine colt parts as time goes by to upgrade. |

The spacer seems less obvious to me. the A2X just don't look right to me. Fair point! Don't worry, I'll be SBRing a lower some time this summer, hopefully. With any luck, I'll be able to piece together a CQBR, or Mk 18 upper, I have to be honest in that I don't know the difference between them. You know what I mean though, with the 10.3 inch barrel. I think I'll just keep this upper though, and build a new one for the SBR with a 14.5 SOCOM profile barrel. Probably be easier than unpinning this Bushmaster barrel. |

The spacer seems less obvious to me. the A2X just don't look right to me. I agree. I had a 6920 barel cut down to 14.7" by ADCO, with the proper step done on the end of the barrel and an A2 permanently attached. I think that looks the best. But now that I am all about the 14.5 SOCOM barrels, I just need to get on it and SBR some lowers and be true with the 14.5 SOCOM and an A2.

http://mwalden.com/colt1.jpg http://mwalden.com/colt2.jpg http://mwalden.com/colt3.jpg That makes my pecker erect-er.
I ordered a spacer from ADCO so I can silver solder a A2 on to my SOCOM til I get my stamp back and get the lower finished. At that point, I'll just un-solder it and rock it the way it was meant to be.

Whoops, are shorty uppers taboo here? Sorry! I'll stick to M4 talk.

Don't remember if I posted this one or not. Built the rifle as my retirement gift back in 08'. Has a Colt 14.5" Govt profile and perm fixed Phantom FH (all I could find at the time) Has Colt upper and BCG, KAC handguards, Surefire Scout light, TA31 ACOG, ARMS #40L BUIS and LMT gen 1 stock. Zeroing it for deer hunting with Mk262 that day (did get connect that year). AMT frame has my Colt .22LR conversion on it.

I may have a TA31/Docter trade coming in. Which is not going to match my rifles new (as of yesterday) paintjob in any way, but whatevs.

I just gotta say this. Everyone always gripes about fixed stocks and the length of them. But 90% of the time I see "Operators" shooting, I see them stocks nearly all the way out. But on arfcom you HAVE to shoot NTCH, TOTALLY squared at all times, or you're gonna die. I don't run mine out nearly as far. But I sure as heck don't have it where I'm eating my CH either. Nor does COMPLETELY squared feel very natural to me. I shoot more squared than with a battle rifle, but still.
Anyways.... That's my rant for today. I'm not sure how heavy a sopmod stock is, but I wonder if it's that much lighter than a fixed. I can see for storage and weight, a collapsible makes sense. But not necessarily because you need it so short. |

I run mine either full extension or 1 notch in depending. CD |

My only point was a lot of people always acted like a fixed stock was too long for anybody. |

My only point was a lot of people always acted like a fixed stock was too long for anybody. I haven't seen much if any griping about fixed stocks personally, I love the A2 and A1 stock just as much as carbine. But since this is a SOPMOD clone thread you definitely aren't going to find fixed stocks in here since they're not used on these M4A1's. Lol I also am not a huge fan of the completely squared off stance. But what I have found is when I do use that stance (which is extremely rare for me) I prefer the stock collapsed. With a "traditional" stance, I run the waffle stock 1 click back on a colt 4 position tube (3 clicks back on 6 position) and a SOPMOD I usually still have it fully collapsed since it's a fairly long carbine stock with the buttpad. |

I'm 5'9" and I use the stock one notch from fully collapsed. Sometimes I keep it fully collapsed.
