Colt As Fuck upper, so no more dumbass DD markings on the side.  Also, poopy stock.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JJREA:
Nobody in the Block 1.5 thread has a crap fit about the slight differences in how you do the end of the barrel. I mean c'mon.... You got 14.5" A2X FH's. You got SBR's with a true 14.5" (probably not very many). You got the double washers. And like my M4gery barrel, you got the 14.7" with A2 pinned. Then there is that, is there that little step before the FH at the end of the barrel. Mine doesn't have it. Oh well. I don't think I'm planning on sending it back to ADCO just to have that little bit taken out. But then again it's not even the right barrel overall. It's a 1/9 SS HBar. Oh, and that didn't even include the 16"ers. Nobody gives anyone a tongue lashing for them. So almost 2" and over here .2" is a huge issue. 
Now, do I think it's dumb if people want it to be as close as possible to the real thing. Heck no. I get it. Attention to detail is just something people do. That's cool. But I mean, if I sent someone a 6920 barrel and told them to chop it to 10.3" to be a MK18 clone, and they sent it back and it was 10.5", I wouldn't even know the difference. I mean sure, people can tell. And I understand that claiming something is correct when it isn't, is just justifying. But making a big deal out of it either way is just........ Over the top if you ask me. My Colt A2 20" doesn't have a bayo lug. But in some ways it's a lot closer than some peoples builds, even if they have a bayo lug. I mean there are always going to be degrees. And any clone is just that, a clone. It's not the exact thing. Most of you all are so far out of the park with your lowers, since it has no happy switch. But nobody says boo about that. And the guys that actually do have an FA lower aren't lording it over everyone else. At least not that I've seen. |

So in other news, I visited Haley Strategic Partners in Scottsdale today because I wanted to pick up a set of their TH1RTE3N sights for my Glock 17 Gen 3 - which they installed at no charge BTW. Their showroom is awesome. There are two racks of fully decked out SBRs and rifles to pick up and fiddle with 'til your heart's content. There was even an MP5 clone. Most everything had laser/aiming devices, lights, optics, and a few had cans, and two had M203 type under barrel grenade launchers. There were at least three FDE RIS II rails - two on CQBR-ish clones and another on an M4 SOPMOD Block II-ish clone. Then they had a Mk18 just sitting in a vise in the gunsmith area. Also got to look through an Elcan Spectre for the first time. Super cool. My favorite part was cocking the grenade launchers (remember: extracting and cocking occur at the same time. As the grenadier opens the barrel assembly...never mind) and pulling the trigger. Because GIJoe.
 Talk about playing with something you only could dream of. The one in the pic is an LMT LMP somethin' or other. And KAC corn cob. Good grief, that place was awesome. "Hello Travis, can I come hang out with your guns next week? How does Tues from 2-4 pm sound?"

I've seen the left hand drill bit done b4. I'll prob try the flat head slot first and if that fails, out comes the drill. What would I be rubber banding?
Edit- I see I have it backwards, try drill first, then flat head. I figured if I tried the bit first, that there wouldn't be much chance tryin anything else after that. Still, what's the rubber band for? Eta: saw the link, misunderstood at first. Definitely gonna start there, then move onto the more invasive procedures

Had the day off yesterday and spent some time fine tuning a couple optics. The new barrel shot really well. It's a 10.3" colt socom profile. I can't remember, are FN the only documented socom profile 10.3"? The brass catcher makes for quick clean up and if I ever start to re-load I've got a nice supply of once fired brass.

Quick question on receiver extensions ... what would be correct for an early CQBR?
I know that Crane was using M16A1 lowers, obviously switched to a carbine buffer system, and sourcing the stocks from LMT. Would it be safe to assume they were getting the extensions from LMT as well? The reason I ask, is that I read somewhere that Colt never supplied more than a 4 position extension in .mil contracts (I assume that's to Big Army ??) but it seems all the LMT ones are 6 position. Would an early Crane built CQBR (with M16 lower) have a 4 position Colt or a 6 position LMT? Thanks guys. You're a wealth of knowledge!

Same article that I was just reading. And where the quoted text came from. I gotta quit reading these threads. Just when I "think" I am content with my collection, I see another must have. |
