(hmmmmm) Thing is, without provenance, those uppers are no different than many others that are in this thread. With provenance, they probably wouldn't be advertised on a site like this. |

Either stolen goods or the guy is lying. Pretty much what I was thinking. I've been thinking about building another upper, but saw one just like that ("factory built") on GB and then this one in the EE. First thing I thought when I saw both was that I didn't think Colt ever built any like that. It didn't cross my mind they could be from Crane (crazier things have happened, but that still wouldn't be factory Colt built); I was guessing misrepresented. |

I THINK, Colt supplies the Upper receiver, barrel, bolt and BCG to crane and then they put the rest of it on. Maybe Colt supplies a matech BUIS too. Or maybe they just do a carry handle. I don't know. I'm kind of taking a stab in case CD is away from his desk for a while. But I'm kind of unsure of the accuracy of my response.
Others will know. I'm pretty sure what he's saying is that Colt doesn't build a Mk18 / CQBR upper and ship it to crane. Now M4/M4A1's I'm pretty sure come ready to plug and play. Rails and rear BUIS. Or carry handle. |

Can you clarify this a little, are you saying Crane built Colt CQBR uppers? Because a stripped CQBR Colt is what I used down range while attached to ODA. Correct, Colt does not build the CQBR uppers for USSOCOM. DoD buys complete guns or spare parts from Colt. That is done by Crane and if you notice Crane uppers are now serialize 1000xxxx or 1400xxxx. Only new ones not serialized are those the Crane armorers/SOF-FTT/91F that repair/rebuild (older ones weren't serialized and had a tendency to disappear at times) Only thing that is always (at this point) going to be a Colt product is the barrel as Crane takes a Colt 14.5" Govt profile and cut to 10.3". Lots of spare parts are FN in the supply chain. CD |

SU-231a never had any logos on it (L3, circle dot or otherwise, just like the SU-231). MARSOC seemed to be using standard EXPS-3-0 instead of SU-231a but there's already been plenty of photos and videos showing them testing new optics, so presumably they're on they're own when it comes to that. |

A quick question for the frequent members in this group. I swear I recently saw reference photos of individuals carrying MK18's with torches on the bottom rails and PEQ-15's on top without vertical grips. Is that a thing or am I imagining things/thinking about a different thread?

The only thing I remember in this thread was a few pages back when Brodband posted a picture of a gun with a peq16 (not 15) on top and a wmx200 on the bottom rail. Don't think it had a vertical grip, but it did have a NT4, so I imagine it was a MARSOC gun. |

The fact is, most military M4A1s have 1913 rails on four sides and it stands to reason that some end user will find it reasonable to run lights or lasers in a variety of different ways. That said, the image that comes to mind of what you are describing is this one:
