I have a DD pinned gas block I drilled with a 2/0 taper pin reamer. I went a little far with the reamer, but that could be fixed by installing a slightly larger taper pin. I didn't have any pins on hand and needed to use the gun, and went with a set screw style lp gas block. Anyway, if anyone is interested, I'm taking offers for the DD pinned block. It has a DD gas tube installed and both the block and tube are unfired.

DD uses a shorty tapered pin, 0.575" OAL for their pinned GB, compared to the std FSB 2/0 taper pin which is appx 0.84" - 0.85" OAL.
I have no idea where one would get this shorty special from ... |

I emailed Geissele to see what roll marks the issued guns had:
Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in our products. The contract 14.5" MK16 rails are roll marked with the NSN. Some early comercial 14.5" may be either laser engraved or roll marked. The 9.3" and 10.5" rails may either be laser engraved or roll marked Geissele Automatics. I hope this information helps and please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Thank you, Justin |

Thank you, Justin View Quote I wouldn't put too much stock in what Geissele says is issued. So far, there has been photographic evidence of issued laser P/N and blank 13.5"s as well as stamped NSN. Also, we're yet to see any issued 9.3"s or 10.5"s. |

Thank you, Justin View Quote I dont think geissele really knows what they are sending out and more so just depends on who showed up to work that day ( laser guy, rollmark guy, etc) because out of the rails i have (6) every single one is different and the last one was 10.5 came with nothing on it some im assuming nobody showed up for work that day Seems like they are more invested in making and marketing blems these days anyways.. |

Still confused, are the rails with the part numbers lasered in and the Geissele stamped found in the wild?

The marking variations just changed rapidly during initial production. |

From what has been shown in pictures and verified in person, it looks like each version has been seen in the wild. The answer is actually quite simple. Early on we were given a tight schedule, and when the NSN was assigned we had to use a laser to start. Once the tooling was built for the roll mark which took some time we switched and stopped lasering. The lasered rails are the earliest rails. We have not lasered one rail since switching to the roll mark. Both are correct. |

View Quote I had a long (over 30 minute) discussion with their .mil/gov rep on the phone. He said for the tano ATACR to come out for non-mil/gov sales it would have to come from the commercial side of their business. He said if enough people hammer their commercial sales reps, it might come out for commercial sales. |
