Really disappointed right now. Just realized they aren’t publicly selling MK4 10” federal rails. Not paying $500 for a rail. Was gonna start building a clone — my first clone of any rifle after Xmas and wanted it to be this. :/

Isn't the HRT barrel closer to SOCOM profile (minus M203 cuts) than true HBAR profile? That's what I was getting at. But don't have one to measure offhand. But you do. Till now, I thought it was the only option.

Damn I have an unused fbi barrel but it has a pinned noveske gb since I was going to use it on a noveske build. Now I wanna use it on the fbi clone. Too bad shark is out of barrels or I would buy another.

Personally, I do not go full tilt. Others want every detail documented/legit. So long as the majority is there, I am happy. And with all the variances with FBI regional/HRT, this is a hard one to nail down. At least .mil guns are easier to pattern. |

Well gentleman. Took the advice and scored a Rail off of EE. Now time to look for a barrel. Read all the recent posts regarding it and that seems like a pain in the ass as well. Bummer there isn’t an easy alternative.

Funny side note. Anyone who play rainbow six siege will notice the FBI SWAT character has a very close clone. AR platform with mlok rail that has pic section at the ends, ctr stock, a2 flash hider,troy irons, put the ODG skin on it and it looks good.
