Also, notice no cage code on the first rifle (ODA) just C and the key hole since so many get caught up on cage codes these days.

It was like a spoonful of wasabi  MK18 CQBR Suppressed Full Auto This was the beginning of my deployment when I was 30lbs heavier haha. But you can work through it, (the gas) especially if someone is shooting back you I'd imagine. |

Well I found my 0.070" drill and my FN barrel is a snug fit on the non-fluted end of the drill, but passes.
My Daniel Defense is a tight fit, but seems alright. My Colt barrel lets it slide easily, but without play, just no tightness on it. |

THE SU-231C/PEQ IS AN UPGRADE TO THE SU-231/PEQ. IT IS A HOLOGRAPHIC WEAPON SIGHT THAT ALLOWS THE USER TO ACQUIRE A TARGET AND AIM THE WEAPON. IT USES A SINGLE TRANSVERSELY MOUNTED LITHIUM 123 BATTERY. THE RETICLE IS A 65 MOA CIRCLE WITH QUADRANT TICKS AND A 1-MOA AIMING DOT. THE WINDAGE AND ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT KNOBS ARE MODIFIED TO ALLOW FOR TOOL-FREE ZEROING ADJUSTMENT. HOUSING COLOR IS BLACK. DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE M4 CARBINE AND SCAR WEAPON SYSTEMS.” |

I was dimpling my 10.3" Colt barrel for the MK12 gas block set screws and sorted out a few tools to use.
I got a dimpling jig with 0.400" spacing and I compared a standard 118 degree point 5/32" drill, a 90 degree point spotting drill and a 135 degree split point drill. The 135 degree split point is best for hard material, such as steel. The other thing about the 135 degree included angle drill point is, it doesn't have to go as deep as the sharper angled drill points to form a dimple sized to allow the set screws to seat inside of. To limit dimple depth, I used a drill stop on the drill. Not being able to find a drill stop sized for 5/32", I found that a 4.0mm drill stop is a perfect fit for a 5/32" drill. I set the drill stop 0.115" from the dimple jig with the drill point resting on the un-dimpled barrel using a feeler gauge. This limits the dimples to a depth of 0.115", at the drill point. |

I scored the barrel with the set screws, drank a bunch of beer and whipped out my harbor freight hand drill, and my bottle of rocksett. dimpled enough

Okay for being pretty much a noob at gunsmithing, I, with a help of a friend, managed to put together the CQBR upper last night. However, me being the dumba** that I am, forgot to read the rest of the instructions and end up marring a tiny portion of the bottom rail when I accidentally tried to put in the bottom screws with the bottom rail attached.
It’s hidden away so it’s not really a big issue, but does anyone have a recommendation for a touch up pen to use for the DD FDE color? |
