@AZ_SBR when I walked in there I was actually wanting a Glock but they wanted ~$75 more than my budget allowed at the moment so I said fuck it, I will go with the Shield this time. Prob Glock next time.

Aaron- technically our CQBR's attached to pistol lowers are the CQBR's of the pistol world.

Oh, it is on!  That is most definitely not clone correct!  Boo this man!

Seriously though, the Shield 9 is a solid CCW sidearm.  It’ll treat you well.  I don’t have one as my “pocket 9” is a Kimber Solo, but we’ve got a lot of them in our carry pistol league.  I’ve seen some of our better shooters do some amazing things with those little pistols.

I don't know if they're on the shelves yet or not, but check out the Streamlight TLR7. Very small package (that's what she said) and is crazy bright. Got to finger fuck one at a dealer demo a month or so back. With it's length, it should sit flush with the slide.

Either way, you'd have to be cloning something very specific and very early to get away with a 10.5" being acceptable.
This ain't no 10.3" barrel. Just saying.

If you look at his watch, it says "WEBGRU WAS HERE". Not sure what that means, I just happened to scroll past it and it caught my eye. But yeah, there's some crappy PS going on with the MD.

They're some form of tracking device IIRC. Kinda like a RFI tag.

Yeah, I did a really quick Photoshop and fucked up the caption. I should've said "actual shoulder of the barrel" not "end". The threads would be .6" from the shoulder to the end of the barrel.

ETA: Point being, given the location of the shoulder, it's a 10.3" barrel.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "10.5" is legit" crowd is just people justifying their purchase of a 10.5" barrel. That picture as proof is anything but.

Here's a comparison for you guys. It is closer to .1" visible difference than .2" difference. Of course, a company could be selling 10.5" barrels that are actually 10.6" or any other length.

I don't know if its the case with inexile, but that has been a trend throughout the history of this thread. The guys with 10.5s show up to show us how correct their 10.5s are without any sort of evidence. Closest thing I've ever seen to evidence was Augee saying a small batch of LMT 10.5s were tested or something like that.

10.3 it is. Last night I thought maybe, until DBM and krdt posted close ups. That shit was a 10.3 that got hack job'd

Very nice. I assume if you did order the complete URG's instead of parts, it would make your job either 1- boring or 2- less work load = less stress

Yeah, my Noveske 10.5" is actually more like 10.6" based on some measurements I did a while back (I didn't measure from the bolt face or OAL, though). Considering it looks pretty much like every other commercially available 10.5 insofar as the shoulder to bayonet lug gap, then I guess most 10.5s are closer to 10.6.

Measured from the bayonet forward, it's right at .2" to the shoulder. So, not quite .2" visual difference to a 10.3, but close. Sticks out like a sore thumb either way :\.

I don't have any issues with 10.5" rifles getting posted here but I don't care to argue about whether it's correct or not. Heck, I posted some pics back in the M4A1 B2 thread on page one (I think) of my 6920 that was basically only Block II in that it had the RIS II but you better believe over time I turned it into a great clone. I never tried to defend it's old shortcomings; they were wrong and I posted new pics every time I got a correct part on there.

We definitely weren't as anal back in 2013ETA: That was back in 2011! I've been cloning for over 7 years

My CQBR has the older DD 10.3" barrel with the enlarged gas port. It's not correct. It's the wrong manufacturer, wrong manufacturing process (CHF), wrong gas port. I'm triple whammy wrong on that and I won't make any excuses for it.

The overwhelming evidence is that 10.5" is not correct, and a true cloner should be working towards a 10.3" barrel (and even I should be working towards upgrading my barrel). But if you've got a great clone that's in progress and has a 10.5" barrel, I'd love to see it. Just don't blow sunshine up our asses claiming that it's correct.

100 percent. Same with my first 10.5 CQBR. I didn't kid myself whatsoever, most of the bolt ons were correct but I still hated the thing because it wasn't as was open about it and did not kid myself. I think that's the only reason the guys here let it fly without giving me slack. Hell, even the lower was wrong as fuck. I always knew that and openly stated it.

Thankfully I have 2 actual CQBR's now.

Looks like my adco colt cutdown is not 10.3. Looks like I'll be leaving this thread for good. It was purchased used o who knows where the orig owner marked it for cutting.

Here's my mod 1 in its more permanent config. Takin it to the range Friday to test it out. Very glad it's warmin up outside.

Yup. It's a ti-7.  Couldn't help myself. In my opinion, the curved/rounded heel makes it more comfortable than b5s, lmt's and IMODs.

While im at it, I might as well make this my anti-b5 sopmod and anti-front Cqd post

Yup. It's a ti-7.  Couldn't help myself. In my opinion, the curved/rounded heel makes it more comfortable than b5s, lmt's and IMODs.

Yeah i would say that's about 10.4 to 10.45" but eh, I give you a pass cause they tried.

Nice Haveblue. I love BDC with the ACOG but hate it with a 1x EO, standard reticle for me.

Break 1k pages and primed for a thread lock

Why can’t we agree? We’re a community. Nobody bats an eye when someone posts a rifle with an ambi KAC lower but flips their shit over a fifth of an inch (or thousandths of an inch in gas ports). I hope we can get this resolved. Building clones is a time consuming process, lots of guys start with the wrong parts and slowly work towards perfection over several years. Who cares if they start with a 10.5” barrel? Like I said earlier, if they’re not claiming that it’s correct, then let them contribute.

10.3 inches of pleasure

Closest thing I've ever seen to evidence was Augee saying a small batch of LMT 10.5s were tested or something like that.

10.3 it is. Last night I thought maybe, until DBM and krdt posted close ups. That shit was a 10.3 that got hack job'd

Not the case at all with me. My post is on page 2 or 3 of this thread (and somewhere in the old thread) where I state that it's the wrong 10.5 barrel. I built it in 2008 and with everything correct except the LMT barrel and the trigger guard (and the 3rd pin) for a total of around $1200. In the clone world I'd say that's dirt cheap. I might change out the barrel one day but with builds 38,39 and 40 in half built states it's a low priority.

eta: Found it on page 2. My pic links are broken. I would repost the links but with the change in your title it looks like it's not welcome here.

What sort of person would post a 10.5"... or a pistol build? I can't stand those people.

I know, I can't even look at myself. I will apply a photo filter immediately to turn it brass colored :D.

For clone sake, I think most people, myself included, look at the whole package. 10.3, 10.5, if it's got the right accessories,rail, optic...etc, .2" ain't shit. Unless it's accompanied with unnecessary justification. This sites a place for exchanging pics and insulting others pics! all in fun of course. Usually.

I agree. I view it as a community of like-minded people, and we all have the same interest (obsession?). Unless someone is trying to claim their Mk18 "inspired" build with barely a single correct part is perfectly fine, I don't really care if a minor detail is lacking here or there. I'd rather encourage new cloners than run them off. That being said, I have a damn 10.5" and I still will argue that I don't think it's correct, lol. Doesn't mean I don't think anyone should post one, just don't fool yourself that it's the 100% correct choice.

No one has ever said anything about my Mod 0 that is clearly a 10.5 and sure as hell ain't perfect. Of course, I'm the first to admit that and never claimed otherwise, so maybe that's why. Who knows.

Easy TC, last time you did that Aimless showed up and threatened to lock the thread.
That would suck. (Although it is 100 percent a 10.3 thread)

Oh, title change. That's the reason for the 10.3" v 10.5 discussion.
On a side note, my 99051 and ris ii were a good shade match until a little clp. Note the color at the spare screw. Cleans up pretty nice.

Eta: this too is a cutdown from what I can deduce so at this point I can't verify its length, but it was sold to me as a 10.3". It's definitely closer to 10.3" than my other "10.3"" cutdown.

Should we get the night of the gas port sissy fights round deux fired up again? I miss the days when @ECPrevatte and @AR-Ryan21 used to go at it over .070 vs .082 and Colt vs DD.
