Quote HistoryI wanted to do a C8 or C8SFW years ago. I gave up and stuck with a 653 and an M4. There was a C7/C8, L119 thread that has been archived with posts from Canadian Military members Leg and Rebel Rouser. I like seeing the differences. Different lower markings, stock with texture, added pad, and an A2 grip with a trap door. Thanks CD! |

L119A1 barrels should be in 1:7. The upper should also be marked with the Diemaco D. Those uppers I believe are more akin to the FBI uppers. Both are a heavy barrel too. |

Man I’ve maybe only fired 500 or so rounds through mine before I disassembled my CQBR clone in 2015. It’s been sitting in its pouch in a box since then. Came back here to look for some inspiration to put it to use and was shocked to see it had been discontinued. I figured the contract with the mil would keep it an in stock item. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By adh: Reach out to Nick at Ecco Machine https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/ECCO-Machine-doing-the-Lord-s-work/55-504237/ That's not the same thing as getting a factory re-core from Surefire, which used to be common practice and restored your suppressor to factory configuration. ECCO's recores are well known and a good second option, but he uses his own technology and baffle stack and it essentially makes it a "different" suppressor. How much that matters or how much you care about that is up to you each individual, but it's still technically different. |

I saw your complaints on Reddit too.
Your barrel is fine. If you’re going to put a can on it. Just keep the chamfered spacers off your gun and it’ll be the same length as everyone else’s 10.3. Cheapest and easiest solution for you. I’m actually surprised you took the MD off another gun to check this, you must not have to worry about rocksett. other than a mechanical reason, to fix something, a rocksetted item should stay put…or to prove a well respected gunsmith wrong and talk bad about him when no one would have your back in that fight. Idk to each his own. You do you, boo boo. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kk_47: https://i.imgur.com/42dHBwr.jpg That pic reminded me of something… OG slotted screws on the MK18 and M4A1 RIS II rails were raw silver. I remember when DD made the changeover to black finish and they hunted down a set of six silver screws for me. Nowadays when you get replacement RIS II hardware packs, the finish on the black slotted screws is always pre-worn when you get em  . The more you know.

It had an A2 on it so no it wasn't rockset, however its not that hard to remove rockset boo boo.

Cool! I didn't ask or pay for a 10.5 though. I also didn't ask for close enough to 10.3. My problem is when he says send it back ill fix it, then doesn't and says it is correct length when its obviously not. If he would have said sorry not enough left to fix I'd be fine with that, but don't try to say its good and act like you're the only guy who owns a tape measure.

That's the guy I was thinking of! Thanks. Ill probably just use a SFA2 on this one and use that shop for the next chop.
The sfa2 doesn't have labyrinth Seal but it does have a more prominent single ring that sits at the same location as the first ring on a 3p. So will see if there is any noticeable difference. |

Maybe an Larue 5/8” riser with the diving board chopped off, but I could be mistaken. |
