The rectangle is usually associated with USASOC guns and the square MARSOC. I'm not sure if that's a hard and fast rule, but I can't recall ever seeing an Army-style rectangle on any clearly MARSOC guns. I've got a square on both my Block IIs and a custom-sized rectangle on my Block I (to mimic some old UIDs I've seen on Army depot serviced lowers/guns). The square on my NT4 host Block II would be the correct one, but at the time I put the square on my RC host, I wasn't really thinking about or concerned over whether it was branch-specific -- I just went with the style I preferred. In hindsight, I probably should've done an Army-style rectangle; I've got one for it, but I've yet to feel the motivation to change it, heh. |

Ah, that's right -- I couldn't remember where I got the 10.700" OAL at the low end from. FN. I think the factory Colt was the longest and where I got the 10.75" OAL. For reference, here is a Crane cutdown next to a factory FN SOCOM (photo by CD). Looks like it'd be around the DD measurement and I'd assume they vary within the acceptable range. Attached File Edit: To summarize all that clone babble, lol... as long as you land somewhere between 10.70" and 10.75" OAL with a 10.35" measurement from the bolt face, you'll be good Tig. I'd probably go for the DD measurement of 10.72" if you're going to use it with a RIS II -- that'll give you a shoulder that lines up perfectly with the end of the rail. |
