My guess is the relief cut is for the bikini cover straps.

Just noticed my SPUHR mount also has the cut out. So this means in a newer rendition? I guess it goes well with the 2nd gen Fed rail.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By patriot_man: FYI there's two different version of the HRT mount floating around. The issued/first run of HRT mounts do not have this relief cut and these second mount were marked HRT at the request of Spuhr's US distributor and have a relief cut into them to differentiate. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/201131/hrt_PNG-1428130.JPG Very interesting. Are the ones with the relief cut the ones in stock and milehighshooting? I picked up one recently from this "restock" and it doesn't have the relief and has a lowercase "b" at the end of the part number. Picked it up from Costa Defense. |

Is the HRT Spuhr mount clone correct? I'm pretty positive they are not, since Regional SWAT is not HRT.

In the original post, you can see several examples of real regional SWAT weapons with Aimpoint T-2s on Daniel Defense Aimpoint micro mounts. I believe Sig Romeo 4M sights may have been used on the same DD mount, but I’ve heard that the newer 4T is used with its Sig factory mount. Having said that, Aimpoint seems to be the preferred optic for SWAT and HRT guns.

I recently added a Restricted A2 Government Carbine lower. Bought/transferred it as an “other”.. so keeping it pistol and not form1. Having an ODG CTR is far outweighed by the lack of travel issues, and ability to CC in the car with a CPL.. IMHO anyway
now all it needs is a DD or SPUR and it’s done... too bad, this ADM is nice! Just in time for me to put it up on the EE to trade for NODs...

I'm new here so pardon my newbie posts https://imgur.com/a/OdLauDu It looks like your link is broken. In general, no two batches of anodizing will match. My Gen 1 OD Fed rail is much darker than my GCH. That's just the nature of the process and makes each rifle unique. |

I got a really solid piece of information today from one of the instructors I train with. He we was at a class with a FBI SWAT dude. He asked him specifically about the colors on the Geissele Fed Rails, because he is into clones as well, and this is what he was told.
Black - General Agent Green - Regional SWAT Gray - Special Activities Tan - HRT Same Goes for Glock Pistols |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 7N1x30: I’ll just leave this here: Diemaco 11.5 Upper I’m sure that’s a great upper, but from the photo, it looks like it has the skinny .625” diameter barrel under the FSB, instead of the larger .750” barrel needed for the Geissele gas block. Might be something to verify before buying. |

Below are 2 versions of the Colt Commando barrels. One with .625 (top) and .750 (bottom).
After doing some reading it looks like the correct barrel for regional swat (green rail) is the Colt Commando 11.5” with the .750 gas block journal? Hope this helps some people here.

I know when BRT was selling them they were recommending one size down from what you need to emulate? So I would do the same on this? Thanks! |
