Updated pic of my Block II clone with my Mk18 and M45. The Mk18 alone is one of my favorite rifles I have, Id like to get a flip to side magnifier and a SOCOM can for it and I think ill have my all purpose rifle! about 1200 rounds down to tube with no failures! Lots of inspiration in this thread for my rifle! |

Rustoleum has been pretty easy to strip which is why I like using it. Just after a few minutes my WMX is pretty much back to normal: 
SAW barrel was suppose to show up today, but it hasn't even left Arizona. I have a lot of parts ready to build out the upper and repaint it. |

All of your lasers are wrong!!!
Yes I said it, unless you have an LA-5 or Gen 1 atpial you have the wrong one, if we stick to the clone standard theme of this thread. What do I mean, look at the LA-5, where do the safety screws go when not in use, on the top, gen1 peq-15s are in the same place, not in the side like the big Army version, slightly different case shape as well. Interesting to note that the newer 15s, have a double safety screw slot on the right side, possibly intended for the new LA-5 version but I have yet to see an LA-5 in that case. Why do I bring this up, well you guys take details to the extreme so I thought I would add to the list.... |

Why do I bring this up, well you guys take details to the extreme so I thought I would add to the list.... lol, I think most here know how to distinguish an LA-5, and also understand it's more clone correct. While many here are sticklers for details, we all also realize that some details are just about impossible to do. If we had to stick completely to clone correct parts, there wouldn't be a thread. M4A1 marked Colt select fire lower? Impossible to get, registry was closed in 86. So standard forged lowers are acceptable. Surefire FH556RC? Almost impossible to get, so the SF3P is an accepted substitute. Insight LA-5? Harder to get than an FH556RC. So standard ATPIAL's (or in most cases an ATPIAL-C) are acceptable substitutes. Just about everything else is available commercially, so that's usually where the "detail pickiness" comes in. |

I don't intend to run a can on my M4A1 Block II again, so I'd like to toss a clone correct 4 prong on it instead. Do these still pop up at all? Can $200 get one? Or are they commanding more? ETA - my Block II is an SBR. I guess I can just get an NT4. Doesn't need to be pinned or anything. Would be far cheaper and easier to do, and still clone correct. |

My two 14.5" clones have pinned SF3P's, so I'm not gonna fuck with hacking them off, so I really only want one 4 prong for my CQBR. I guess if I don't find one at least it'll still match it's 14.5" big brothers.

The guy that made that post is selling 2 Gen 1s, so it just sat wrong with me as it looked as if he was trying to say they were more "clone correct" and then pass it off as "just offering you general information" when that information is completely false. In fact, the only version I've rarely seen *is* the Gen 1, but that's probably just due to the time difference of when the Gen 1s were common vs the CQBR Block II getting more out there. |

Its also a huge monetary gamble. Ever since TNCV started offering the "C" version, theres hardly a reason to spend $2100 on a grey market version. Option A ("C" version): - Pretty much covers all civilian uses. - Comes with warranty. - Sold by a company known for excellent CS. - $1299 Option B (genuine "mil" version): - 100% clone correct - Can designate enemy field artillery at 1000 meters. - Could very well be flat out stolen US property. - If it breaks, you have a paper weight. - $2100 +/- I still want a mil version PEQ-15\LA-5 but I think $2100 is laughable now that there is a viable alternative. Now if I were to cross paths with a LA-5 for the price of a "C", that would be very hard to pass on. I think once everyone realizes that anyone can buy one from TNVC, the prices for the mil version on the grey market will plummet. I seem to recall reading on this site that the mil gets them for about $400 a pop, and we all know how the military grossly overpays for everything. |

I understand the allure of having the real deal but with the risk of owning one combined with the fact there is a viable civilian alternative it's a no brainer to me. |

Are any of you guys running just a standard mil spec trigger in your CQBR? I'm debating if I should sell my SSA-E to clear up some money for a EXPS and just run a mil spec trigger. I guess I'm wondering if there's a real advantage to having a nice two stage trigger in a gun I probably won't take out past 100yds.

I have a standard mil-spec trigger in my CQBR - the only reason is that I just didn't get around to getting a Geissele yet. Works fine - does the job. That being said, going from a high quality trigger to a standard mil-spec I think you're going to wish you hadn't gotten rid of the Geissele. You're definitely going to notice how shitty mil-spec triggers really are compared to the Geissele. I had a standard mil-spec trigger in my MK12 and after I installed the SSA-E I realized how much standard mil-spec triggers blow...But that's a different platform too.

You could always grab up the ALG QMS and pair it with some JP springs. Have that in a couple rigs and it's damn nice, especially at the price point. |

I guess I'm wondering if there's a real advantage to having a nice two stage trigger in a gun I probably won't take out past 100yds. For now im going to have an ALG ACT in my M4A1 14.5 block II, which is just a good mil-spec trigger with a non mil-spec coating. I ran it on my block 1.5 for a while as well. I'll be upgrading it to a Geissele in the near future though. If I was you id sell the Geissele and buy an EXPS, run the mil spec trigger until you can afford another Geissele for your CQBR. Meaning (TLDR) I think its more important to have a good optic and a standard trigger for a while, than to have a good trigger and no optic. Then just buy another Geissele when you can afford it. |
