OK, I know this doesn't belong in this thread but it was this thread and the builds that you guys did that inspired me to build my favorite firearm. It is more like a younger brother given its 10.5" barrel. Anyway, thanks to all for the inspiration, photos, ideas and details.

Sorry it's been a bit crazy. So the bit is micing .16 at some points (but my mic probably is way less accurate and less decimals than yours), and the set screw hole in the gas block is micing the same consistently...I'm guessing that isn't enough to be a problem? Won't ruin the threads? |

You'll be chasing the threads with the tap afterwards anyway, when you thread it through the set screw hole to cut the new threads on the port side. Be careful and take your time.

Just listed a bunch of FBI clone parts in the EE including the Black Romeo 4M, Fed Green Mk4, 11.5 HRT barrel and Geissele GB with BRT insert to mimic the custom FBI block. Just wanted to post a heads up to this thread Incase anyone was looking.

A few updates to complete the build. I ran across an original DD 1/3 mount for the T2 and older Troy rear sight "non cage code" that folds down flat.

Has anyone seen the black or grey rail in use? The standard issue FBI carbine has the black rail. The grey is on a modified carbine with a Troy or Maxim PDW type stock used by a unit that primarily works out of vehicles. SWAT gets OD green railed carbines. The color coding of the guns by assignment / program is for internal logistical / armorer purposes. If you are responsible for hundreds or thousands of guns little things like color coding can make your life easier. |

Hey guys trying to suss through some of this. I just picked up one of the black rails and I have an extra Colt 11.5 hrt upper with fsb (I love the heavies!)
I know the gas block that comes with the rail technically isnt correct.....are any of you shaving the fsb on the heavy barrels and running it that way? I've had a good bit of work done by John Thomas and would probably have him do the work if I go that route. Best, Jj |
