Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rothperson87: Did he dimple/ pin the gas block? If not, just center it. Cheap easy way to ensure gas port is lined up with the gas block, break off a piece of spaghetti noodle in the gas port, move the gas block over the gas port so the noodle falls back into the gas block when you flip it over.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io7qsMtnQyQETA: I’ll be honest though, I sent an upper in to D. Wilson for a barrel chop and assembly and it came back with the GB slightly canted, nothing like yours though. Took off the gas block to center it up a little and found he took the liberty to dimple the barrel. So unless I re-dimple it, the set screws always settle into the off center dimples, canting the GB. Was also a little disappointed in this but when I took it out it ran fine so I’ve never really worried about it. Probably tough to tell in the pic but the rail is slight canted to the right to compensate for the GB being canted. I was worried the GB would hit the side of the inside of the rail on recoil. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/462226/CEB8DFE9-9981-4B7B-8F28-F617E0027E40_jpe-1752952.JPG Barrel was pre dimpled! For some reason I can't adjust the gas block when I unscrew it. I think some red loctite seeped underneath the gas block. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By blindrocket: I feel like this is a pretty dumb question but it's something that makes me wonder every time I see it. Why do some paint just their lower or their upper? The only thing that I can think of is because they swap uppers onto different lowers. It's probably as simple as that but for any of you that have done it, what's your reasoning? I'm about ready to spray mine down with some Krylon and thought I'd just do both upper and lower. Thanks Complete gun painted at one point. Uppers get replaced, rebuilt or second upper swapped (either 10.3" or 14.5") CD |

So I just found this trick out thanks to a pic in the Glock 19 in sf thread (some may be thinking no shit dumb ass)... but a ladder rail panel actually makes a pretty good pressure pad mount when it's flipped upside down.

Thanks... lighting was pretty terrible by the time I got around to taking pics (got out there late and was more focused on getting in some shooting). Had to bust out some heavy-duty PS editing, but whatta-ya-gonna-do? Good chance to play with settings/effects I rarely use. Lol.

Got my surplus mk18 upper kit in today. Little bit of “rust” on the outside of the barrel but nothing that a little CLP couldn’t clean up. Bore looks good and rail had normal use marks on it with some extra dirt. Bolt carrier looks like it could be a fn with a bad attempt at stamping but who knows. Barrel looks to be a chopped down colt, Only markings on it is an 0 and the date of manufacture. Gave it all a good cleaning and got it assembled. Gonna go give it a function and accuracy test tomorrow.

Barrel looks like an FN Socom profiled barrel. Proof marks denote FN manufacture and M4 feed ramps. "X7176" is probably a way for the unit to inventory for themselves or the upper was provided to a specific operator. No idea where TBA picks up their goodies. Black Creek or Savannah marked? Lot/Date marked rail? Side note: Aimpoint CS is legit. Mid December I destroyed the helicoils with my gorilla strength and they ended up swapping for an entire new unit.
