I think I might go ahead and put together my first clone rifle

Geissele FBI HRT Glory Clone

What does the proper rifle/parts consist of?

Geissele FBI HRT 10" Rail (color: ODG?)
Colt 11.5" FBI HRT barrel

Post Pics of your clones!

I can’t decide on colors. OD green rail, and everything else black?

That's how all the rare pics of the FBI setup appear. I plan on going that route.

Arm or Ally has a nice deal at the moment for BA 11.5 barrels.

Going that route for my MK4 so that I may afford an optic soon and not be murdered when the credit statement comes.

Also hoping to start the precedent for acceptance of loosely interpreted clone parts.

Yea’ I’ll be going black furniture as well. The only pictures with green rails, they have aimpoints also. I guess that’s what I’ll have to get.

What BUIS are you guys going with?

Don't know about HRT but I did see a FBI SWAT rifle. OD Geissele rail, shiny G gas block, inforce WML on top rail, Magpul MLOK covers and hand stop(OD green), Magpul CTR in OD green and Ergo grip black. Aimpoint H2 in a DD mount. Unknown BUIS. Will try to find the picture of it.

I'm OK with loose clone too lol the heavy barrels are cool and clone correct but I kinda want to pair something light like a bcm elw with this rail. I'm already gonna have to pistol my 11.5 being in a state where we can't do sbr. Hoping the clone police don't murder me for this one lol

I think you are right about the above. Probably a Colt upper and BCG as well. Looks like a Colt M16 lower to me in this pic:

My planned build won't be 100%, but will be close enough for my tastes:

- Colt 11.5" HBAR FBI barrel
- Colt upper
- Colt BCG
- Colt lower
- Geissele OD 10" MK4 (thanks Geissele )
- Geissele gas block
- Aimpoint T2
- Geissele T2 mount, 1.93"
- B5 grip and stock
- Other misc. parts from Colt and Geissele as I can find them

ETA: Gonna take me a while to get this all together due to my Geissele Black Friday spending and wanting to complete a couple other builds first

Anyone else see when you ordered the rail that it mentioned a possible shipping delay or 4-8 weeks or something?

I went with a black rail. I have kinda gone paint crazy on my other SBRs...... need a black gun again. I am not paying for a Colt lower. I am not that dedicated to a true clone and will probably get a lighter barrel. I am going to take a few carbine classes next year and want something on the lighter side.

Good to hear. I was wondering if I'd ever get an invoice, guess I'll keep waiting.

I've been sitting on a DD 11.5" .625 lightweight barrel since 2010, and I also have a Colt lower collecting dust. It won't be a "clone", but will be close.

I emailed him Wednesday and he never emailed be back so I went with another dealer. He has great prices but his business practices are horrible.

Gonna go a slightly different route in that I'm wanting to put a surefire socom as close to the federal rail as possible. Anyone know what barrel length i'd need to get that to work? (I understand it'll probably have to be cut; I'm not set on it being a true clone, just think that would look great)

Yours will be more of a clone than mine. I wouldnt even call mine a clone, so far my parts list is.

PSA gremlin lower (until PSA releases their M4 lower, then I’ll have to get a new stamp)
Aero upper (black)
Ballistic Advantage 11.5” barrel
Geissele 10.5” OD rail
Either troy or magpul pro buis (can’t decide)
Aimpoint t2 on geissele mount
deadair flash hider so I can shoot suppressed
geissele LPK/maritime bolt catch
SSA-Trigger
Magpul CTR stock. I have a black one but may order a green one.
gemtech suppressor BCG
Geissele buffer spring/weight
Geissele ACH charging handle
Umbrella Corp OD green pistol grip
