First post in ar15.com, I have no idea how to do this.
That being said, how much would you guys pay for a BNIB Gen 2 lite FSP rail? It's black. |

I figure it's still got another 15-20k I can squeeze out of it. Although, I'm very curious what the options are gonna be now that the RC is discontinued (re-core as an RC2? bah). |

Would the b5 government issue sopmod stock, be more accurate in black or coyote?
Someone mentioned that the b5 coyote wasn't the correct shade, but that was a post from a few years ago. Not sure if that is still the case? |

B5 sopmod stocks in coyote brown were never issued. Only black cage code b5 stocks, and LMT black/fde stocks.
There was a whole "poop brown" meme referring to the color of the b5 coyote stocks, and how they're not completely clone correct. If you're a really meticulous cloner that wants everything correct per time period, combat unit, etc, the b5 coyote will drive you insane. If you're not that serious it's reasonably accurate enough. |

Im having a hell of a time getting my gas block off my FN 10.3 SOCOM cage code barrel.
Gas block is Coronet Machinery Corp Mk12. Its only had 1 mag through it. Any tips? Are FN Socom 10.3’s always tight? |

I would suggest securing barrel in vise, wrapping gas block with leather in a pair of vise grips/channel locks to turn slightly. Propane torch will also work. The reason the set screws were difficult to remove is the locktite applied (if done correctly) CD |

So a question for you all.
A while ago a popped off my KAC RAS off my MK18/CQBR for another project. Since then, it’s lived as a basic plastic handguard carry handle gun. Well now I wanna do something with it again so here’s the questions With the cost of the RAS so much now, and more than I want to spend for a RAS, do I - Go with a 7” Larue quad rail with the FSB - Go with the hope for the possibility the RAS comes back down. - Go with a blem MK16 rail and URGI-ish it Or just say fuck it and let it go until whenever. I’m really leaning more towards the Larue first; I’ve seen a few pics of them on CQBRs so technically still correct I believe. There is trying to luck out on a RAS but I’m not paying the prices they’re going for now. Looking in the EE, I just can’t see it happening since I’m looking at the $200 and below spot for a like new/like new rails only. As for the MK16 rail is more of an out there option as then I’ll have to get into more parts down the road. Anyways, what’s you’re thoughts? |

It’s crazy how much the RAS rails have gone up in price. I’ve bought and sold so many and remember when they were in the $150 range. I’m in the same boat as you, we’ll sort of, I sold my Block 1 CQBR upper a while back and I definitely regret it. I’d like to build one again but the rail prices are crazy. I did recently pick up a 10.3” URGI upper which is really nice. But there’s just something about the MK18 Mod 0/Block 1, it’s a classic. Old Block I  10.3 URGI

You can still find a RAS for under $200.00 with a bit of luck and patience, so I vote the Larue if you don't want to wait for a decent priced RAS. |
