I’m in the process of building a SOCOM Block ll upper. I’ve got the Colt SOCOM profile 14.5” barrel and the Daniel Defense RIS ll FSP rail. To stay “Clone correct” I would have to use the Surefire SF3P Flash hider but the Surefire Warcomp seems to look like a better choice as you get not only a Flash hider similar to the SF3P but you also get a compensator as well for about roughly $10 more. I don’t do any night shooting so a Flash hider is not really important but a compensator actually serves a useful purpose in preventing muzzle rise
So what do you think? The Warcomp-556 Surefire Warcomp Or the Surefire SF3P Surefire SF3P-556 Your prompt replies will be appreciated |

Thanks in advance. 7.62mm Surefire cans will fit on the 7.62mm and below muzzle devices. 5.56mm Surefire cans will not install or latch to anything higher than 5.56mm muzzle devices.

I'll snag a RIS II here pretty quick. The real tough choice will be whether or not to hold out for a 4 prong, or just say screw it and do a 3 prong. E-Filed the SBR paperwork on my PSA M4A1 lower today as well. Hoping to find a Colt LPK that isn't stupid expensive. Progress... |

Got the rail on. Still need to P&W the surefire so it's on the SBR lower for now. I kind of like the two tone look though.
Might put the eotech stuff back on the MK18. Any suggestions for lower priced optic solutions for a block II m4? I've seen pictures of a vortex strike eagle in use. Not sure what the hive mind thinks though.

Barrel and upper are wrong-but at least the barrel is FN, need a colt upper. Lower is an etched 80% I’ll have an EXPS 3 by the end of July. Muzzle device is wrong but will always be since all my stuff is ASR based. |

Looking to build an M4A1 Block II Recce style rifle and my question is what LPVO would be the best option between the Vortex Razor 1-6 and the Nightforce NX8. I know the Razor has been seen “in the wild” as for the NX8 I’m not sure. I believe the ATACR would be the best bet, but if I can get by with the NX8 that’d be my choice..

I have gotten several more parts in over the past two days. The FDE DD RIS II arrived today. The SF3P and a few other parts came yesterday. I have ordered a Colt M4/M4A1 receiver extension (4-pos.) from SAW. Hopefully, that will ship out early next week. The CQD sling mounts and TangoDown VFG (FDE) shipped today from Charlies Custom Clones. My Blue Force Vickers sling is now set up with Blue Force Gear snap hooks. The BCM SOCOM barrel was supposed to arrive today, but is delayed because of an accident on I-65 between Memphis and Montgomery last night. Since tomorrow is Saturday, it is likely I will not get it until Monday. As far as the KAC sights are concerned, I will not get them until some time in August. In the meanwhile, once I get the upper assembled, it will go off to John Thomas to have the SF3P pinned and welded. That is all for now.
