Just confirmed that only the "near clones" ship with the Geissele 42 spring/buffer. The "clone correct" uppers get the two 30% off Surefire Coupons instead.

I got a near clone from Brownells, got the Super 42 and both SF coupons.

Sp near clone uppers do not get the coupon?

The clone correct uppers have been in stock at Geissele and Brownell's for over a week. Surely someone on here has one that can post pics.
Looking to see if the upper is "C" or Colt Cage coded and if the bolt carrier group is marked. Also, is the Colt upper "T" marked? |

Upper is T marked, and oddly enough in white. Rail has subdued T markings. |

@Pezboytate
What do you think about adding ITW or as seen so far LPVO's on page 1? I've been searching for that list that was discussed but can't seem to find it so instead, if you'll list them then everyone can say "look at page 1" |

Swapping between MILs and MOA is not difficult unless you're trying to convert shit, like if you have a MOA scope and a MIL spotter.
If you're just shooting by yourself, switch your ballistic app to MOA and rock on. |

It's a shot in the dark IMO. I wouldn't go out and buy an optic for a clone because it may be what is issued in the future. If you guys want to buy an NX8 or whatever and don't mind if it isn't issued later, that's okay with me but I don't think it should be on the first page until we verify they're issued. Just my opinion.
