I have never heard of a Federal Agency doing this. Can you name one that does?

Not necessarily "issued".   Lots of agencies allow personally owned firearms to be carried on duty.  Generally speaking, they have to meet certain criteria, and the individual must pass the same qualifications with it.

ICE did for a bit

Yea, she looks like the type to personally own a SCAR SBR.

The quoted areas weren't talking about long guns just personally owned firearms in general.  But DEA allowed personally owned long guns, I remember the LWRC program for it

Sorry, I thought we were talking about long guns since this was a SCAR thread.  You are correct on ICE handgun POWs though it was short lived after the merger.

Don't forget AMO has had Glocks for a decent amount of time and they're obviously part of CBP. I've seen pilots walking around with them since 2016 when I showed up to the RRB.  So long before the CBP wide transition

Good point. There were a handful of other G19s in circulation with one or two other offices as well. ;)

My cousin still has his Beretta 96, the P2000 and a P2000SK they give to senior guys.

He's going off data from sites that have information like this.

Primarily seems to be within the realm of the SCAR 17 and silencers with higher backpressure but seems to be at least a handful of people that had to pay out of pocket to fix split carriers.

I’m aware of the information. Has nothing to do with a 16. Only ones I’ve seen reported as cracked are 17’s with very high back pressure cans and the owners didn’t replace their gas jets. SCAR’s were built from the ground up to be suppressed weapons. However, there was such a wide range of back pressure differences between various cans on the civilian market, coupled with often weaker civilian.308 ammo that they decided to go with a larger gas jet on civilian SCAR 17’s to ensure they ran reliably with shitty ammo. Once they had enough come back from people hurting their rifles from the mix of their different back pressure cans, ammo, and larger gas jets the bean counters as FN decided it was far simpler and cheaper to say “no suppressors” for the warranty vs “you can only use cans x,y,z. You need x,y,z gas jets. Etc.” to stay within warranty. Same exact reason gun companies don’t warranty guns using reloaded ammunition. To many variables to account for.

And out of the box the gun is good to go. No reason to change anything except for personal preference. While the G Trigger is an awesome upgrade, my factory trigger was much nicer then any standard mil-spec AR trigger I’ve shot.

The armorers at Battlefield Las Vegas beg to differ. 200k+ rounds on their sample with only a barrel replacement and a broken hammer.

AAC had to port the blast baffle of the M4-1000 cans to protect the guns, and then they started making cans in house to reduce backpressure. The 16s also has bolt failures when...was it 3/75 that tried them?

Its a fat bitch that probably takes 10 seconds to perform a speed reload.

Right? Probably armor as well.

There is a Personally Owned Weapon (POW) rifle program.  It was revived a few years ago. The original configuration was basically a 6920 with an 11' Troy Alpha rail. That was updated to a 6920 with a 13" Geissele Mk4  and an optional SSA trigger about 2 years ago.  Wait times for these rifles were sometimes a year or more as Colt apparently built them in batches.   The new POW rifle will be a 16' Geissele Super Duty with a 13' Mk4 rail.

Concerning the whole individual weapons thing... I seriously doubt agencies are going to allow run of the mill worker bee 08x job series "security guards" to participate in such a program. It's going to be held for 1811 job series "special" agents.

This^^^

1811 series maybe the only ones depending on the agency. If allowed I doubt it would be NFA stuff as that poses problems and headache, and probably a specific configuration from a specific manufacturer like the FBI or DEA programs.

This may be a dupe, but this photo on DailyMail caught my eye.  Caption doesn't provide any info, and I can only make it out the word police on the badge. From a little googling, the fragment of a shoulder patch doesn't look like Capitol Police or DC Metro.

So which agency is issuing the gucci gear to uniformed officers?

that would likely be an old beat to fuck military one given to the police for cost of shipping thanks to the Tough on Crime bill.
