You guys might wish to purchase the MCTAR-22G2 as your free float option.

MCTAR-22G2-BLK



I am pretty sure that @Knife_Sniper has this on his A5 set up.

I actually have a BCM QRF with a titanium barrel nut from V7.

It weights a tenth of an oz more than plastic handguards with the titanium barrel nut.

In my case I built around a colt HBAR barrel so I needed a nice looking tube for the build that also cut some weight.

Ill post pictures when its more done.

If anyone is looking, I posted a complete FN m16a4 upper in the EE.  Complete with the KAC rail.

Sorry for the late reply - got swamped in work.
That lower = NDS A2 lower, painted in "Colt gray" Norrells. Love it so much.

It's criminal that those weapons are being given freely to our "allies". Uncle Sam could easily break these down into parts kits and sell them back to the general public, but instead I see ISIS rolling around with them instead. We're lucky to see Garands and 1911's being sold back to the people. Lord only knows what will happen to those countless M9's when they're all replaced.



Yeah, I know they picked up a lot of them from routed Iraqi forces. But do you remember when the Obama administration "accidentally" dropped pallets of weapons onto ISIS positions? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Is a colt or fn lower more correct? Would they both have the same serial number prefix on an issued rifle?

Just bought one of those FN surplus uppers to start my M16A4 clone build.

Anyone have any recommendations on correct/high quality A2 stocks?  I've been scouring the web and it seems like Colt is OOS everywhere and everything else out there seems to come with plastic trapdoors and spacers.  I see that Fulton Armory lists one with a metal trap door, but no idea who the supplier is.

Confirming is the “VCAS” the same as this?

I suspect so, as the part number includes “VCAS”, just want to confirm.

If you’re talking about the real issued M16A4s, neither is more correct, since both manufacturers have produced A4s for the U.S. military. However, a lot of people want to clone FNs because that’s the predominant brand in the Marine Corps. The Army seems to have a little more of a mix of Colts and FNs. The serial numbers all seem to be somewhere in the 10XXXXXX range, since they were produced in batches. My Army issued FN was in the 10163XXX series, and I’ve seen pictures of Colts in the 10022XXX range. It would be interesting to find some kind of production records to see which company produced which serial number ranges.

As far as the commercial A4 rifles go, in my opinion, the Colt is going to be closer to using all the same MILSPEC parts as their real M16s, but the roll mark and label (AR-15A4) doesn’t match the real thing. The FN Military Collector M16A4 has more accurate lettering on the lower, but they made some mistakes with it, such as putting AUTO instead of BURST by the selector. Apparently they also may not be able to use true MILSPEC parts on their A4 because they don’t own the specs for commercial sales, only under government contract.

You could strike out the "AUTO" lettering and electric pencil "BURST" underneath, as I have seen on more than one issued rifle.

Okay, upon further review, it appears that the one Primary Arms is selling is different than the VCAS that people have linked to before (and I linked above). It doesn’t have the quick-release buckle. The part number is different, too.

Is the cheaper one that Primary Arms is selling still good to go? (This it here)

Yeah the one PA is selling is still quality but it’s not the isssue one. Just get the quick release buckle BFG sells and you’re fine. If it’s still cheaper with the shipping from both places then it’s worth it.

Well, there’s a substantial price difference, but I’ll go with the one from BFG.

Tan or coyote or whatever is the correct color?

Unless the M4 style upper and F marked FSB is the issue, the rest of the specs are owned by the US Government. Colt only owns the M4 TDP since they developed it, for the most part, on their own for overseas sales, initially.

Well after reading some post on here and m4 carbine.net, it looks like the nylon trap door is issue on real military rifles  now.  I read post from both forums of guys that had issued rifles with them.
