Great job. How did y'all mount the light under the fsb? As far as I know the surefire M16 mounts fit just fine, and the M14 need some metal shaved off to fit, but both are hard to find. There's a bunch of clones on Amazon and ebay, and mantis makes one as well. Do any of those fit without modification? What did you go with? Thanks in advance. |

The aluminum replicas are thicker and require rather significant modification to fit under the FSB gas tube. You can do it with a file/dremel. I did it by eyeballing it in a mill. |

I’m building a Blood Diamond inspired rifle. Ordered a 607 flash moderator from Retro Rifles back in March. When I emailed them in May about the order status they said they are waiting on their supplier to finish them. I’ve thought of canceling that order and get the TIA moderator from PSA. And it’s a lot cheaper as well.
It’s the one piece holding me up. |
