So from what I gathered, they were running the SF RC2 and now have the Flow 556k? I recently picked up the pre flow 556k which is the HX QD 556k, which is not 3d printed. Too good of a deal to pass up and offers more serviceability if ever needed but kinda in line with my clone. |

 I think I am finally done with my build. Got my T2 mounted on a DD micro mount w/ lower 1/3 spacer. My Huxwrx HX QD 556K cleared on Saturday. I took it out with a buddy for the first shots with the can today and I have to say I am impressed. It has a sharp but not unpleasant tone. Very little gas to the face and my BCG was almost clean after a couple mags which is quite different than my other suppressed SBRs. I love the T2. I wasn't sure how it would run with an H3 but not a single hiccup with PMC. I have a super 42 spring and h2 on the way because I wasn't sure how it would run. I may end up running a different light at some point but other than I'm happy. |

Can't speak for HRT.... but for SWAT, they had A2 flash hiders and now run OSS/Hux QD flash hiders. I think the suppressor is going to dictate what they are running muzzle device wise, as everyone is running suppressed now. |

| Duty RDS is good for me as mine will eventually make its way onto my clone. I’ve read quite a bit of this thread, and it’s been a good read. Has anyone made a list of the VFGs/hand stops that have been seen in the wild? I know the Magpul AFG Gen 1&2 have been seen, what else? |

It's my understanding that the FBI allows the carry of personally owned Colt Federal Patrol Rifles if non-swat agents want to. It's just a colt with a 13" Mk4 rail.  I liked the look of the longer rail so much I put one on a BCM 14.5 M4 upper. It's zero percent clone but I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Finally scored a Grey MK4 Fed rail and I picked up an Aimpoint Duty RDS. Had to wait a while, but the Surefire A2 style suppressor mount finally came in. I used a Geissele 11.5 barrel for this one, so it's not anywhere near clone correct, but it shoots good. Grey MK4 Fed_1 by James H., on Flickr Grey MK4 Fed_2 by James H., on Flickr |

Can’t post pics, but here is my “inspired” HRT clone. It will eventually get an Aimpoint Duty.  Failed To Load Title |

Last picture of the almost clone that didn’t quite get to be a clone before I replace the Mk4 Fed with a Mk16 to lean towards URGI. Attached File |

Definitely not; I have a Recce 5K on mine lol. I tell myself it’s slightly clone correct because it’s related to the Griffin HRT which was also up for the contract  :[/b

It’s a way better looking can than the Flow too. Originally Posted By bluedog82: Definitely not; I have a Recce 5K on mine lol.

I kinda wish the Recce 5k was out when I ordered my Recce 5, I might’ve gone with that instead. |

Thank you, I do love the duck sauce! This Noveske lower was full FCD parts before it became part of this rifle but I still felt the need to include a little flare into this build. |

Don’t know if this has been posted yet…looks like one more organization is switching to the Super Duty Attached File |

Looks like from a training with the blue pistol, faux suppressor, and Lancer mags |

I vaguely remember some guys building these with 10.5” barrels, but I don’t really want to wander through 87 pages. Has anyone done that? I’m thinking I want to try 300blk and it would be nice if all I had to buy was a barrel. |

I'm thinking I want to try 300blk and it would be nice if all I had to buy was a barrel. I built one with a 10.5 barrel and used a Surefire closed tine flash hider. I used an extra base shim in order to get the suppressor to mount up properly. It runs well, especially after I added an adjustable gas block. This is an old picture which doesn't show the RC-2 mounted. It's not totally "clone correct" since the lower is a SBR'd LMT Defender, Holosun optic, and B5 stock. But, it works really well.  10.5 and G Fed Rail by James H., on Flickr

 Failed To Load Title Made a video on my HRT “clone”—it’s far from 100%. It’s my first clone build though, and I’ve really appreciated all the info in this thread. Anything I missed, let me know! |

Thanks, I was asking because someone offered me a nice dbal a2 and the unit checks out from Steiner, they said that I could legally buy the full power version but if it breaks down and I send it in they would not send it back to me because it was a "restricted" item. So, I guess I will have to pass on it... too bad the unit was in great shape but too much money for a possible future paperweight.

So. By the grace of G$ and the guys at GACS. I managed to get something interesting in the last 4th of July sale I got an original 10” federal rail. With the shorter bottom section. Measures out at 10”. So do I need to build a FBI clone gun now? I have a spare aimpoint T1 laying around. Not sure if I have the right barrel. I do have a SBR registered lower, and would consider doing another one for the heck of it. |
