So that means it has the large pin holes. I bought a standard pin SSA trigger. So there goes another 300 bucks for a new one unless someone just so happens to be sitting on one |

I believe they started using small pins mid year 08 |

@Elucidate got me taken care of on the trigger. I never even thought of it being a large pin. Didn’t think it was as old as it is. Mine is a “law enforcement carbine” they released 105 of them in 2013 and I figured it was one of those. Late 08 is when they switched. Started around serial number 60XXX and mine is 31XXX.

Anybody running the AU barrels with the shaved FSB?
Looking for feedback on performance, suppressed/unsuppressed. Any issues with hot cycling? Any issues with locking back on empty? Gas to face suppressed excessive? Ammo and temperature specifics would be a plus. Haven't read much here, any GP diameter measurements confirmed? |

I am curious as well. Consistency of gp size received would be good to know for future buyers.
Received my hrt barrel from Chris a week or so ago. Cage coded and barrel dated 10/17, confirmed gas port size to be .069 with starrett pin gauge. |

I got mine from Charlie’s I think so I’m no help. I’ll still be checking to make sure though. Still sitting fresh in its blue bag. Another week or so till mine goes together assuming that stamp says so in the next couple days. I still haven’t even taken off the fsgb yet

Mine is semi slapped together. Haven’t shot it yet but I don’t know a thing about what is considered bad or good. I just shoot the guns lol. I don’t have a whole lot of time to shoot. If you want tig, I can send the barrel your way for testing, or just give me an idea of what info you need and I’ll try to get to a range soon.

If you want tig, I can send the barrel your way for testing, or just give me an idea of what info you need and I’ll try to get to a range soon. Curious as to how it behaves. Hot ejection? Feel overgassed? Any failures to lock back on empty? Ammo? 5.56/.223? Temperature? Buffer weight? Bcg? Extractor? We know 0.069-.070" runs reliably both suppressed/unsuppressed with full power M193 as well as most quality .223 loadings. Just curious as to how .073" runs as many are reporting this as GP diameter. Far from ideal with most other 11.5" barrels. ~0.064/5" seems to be the sweet spot for dedicated suppressed shooting/11.5". 0.067-0.070" for a mix. |

Appreciated. Interest is the the barrel performance solely. Clone aspect is outside of my scope. With a Geissele Super Gas Block, ST-T2, and normal buffer spring, ejection was perfect. Accuracy was ~2 MOA at 50 yards but using a T1 and with the mount only finger tight (forgot to torque to spec) I will get a better idea of accuracy soon.  Attached File Attached File |

My clone isn’t really a clone at all. I just liked the Mk4 rail and last Black Friday when the OD came available I jumped. I don’t think anything besides the rail on my gun is clone-worthy. But I don’t care. It’s my favorite SBR. As far as E-file Form 1s, I had a couple in June that were like 10 days and my most recent a couple weeks ago was just over 2 weeks. I’d bet there’s been a significant increase in E-Form 1s with the recent talk of pistol braces being reclassified.

It can definitely be done, or at least pretty close.

Just want to throw it out there. If anyone needs there parts freshened up and re anodized, get ahold of Dave at Hunter Rifleworks (@elucidate) his turn around time was great. Did my engraving too and that looks perfect. I think these receivers look better than new. Mine will be together later today when I get back home.
Yesterday I had the time to take off my fsgb, and drill the barrel for my gb set screw. Also checked and I’m right at .069 for my gas port.

Long story short, we had some people get boxes mixed up and shipped out a small handful of the wrong ones.
