99% close to purchasing a SF RC2 suppressor from silencer shop. with the single shot trust of course.
trying to be as clone correct as possible. someone convince me not to drop the $$? i have no problem with paying a couple extra dollars for ease of transaction/business, and it looks like with the kiosks this is the way of the future. not looking to deal with form 3 transfers between ffl's and stuff. my understanding is that the RC2 is the latest and greatest. while not clone correct it's the closest to the original RC. i see there is also SB's out there that surefire makes. soo.... do i go for it? this would be my first can. going on a block 2. edit:

Buying my RC and the F3 transfer was really no different than buying a firearm, and it arrived almost as quickly. FFL emailed his license to AU, and it shipped within the next day or two if I recall. The whole kiosk thing I suppose is somewhat appealing, but isn't that big of deal. The dealer should walk you through filling out the F4. Other than that, get some prints done at a digital fingerprint scan place, scan them onto your PC/laptop and you're more or less set for prints from then on. Hell, you can just buy an ink pad and roll them yourself if you want. I found doing them onto printer paper, scanning them and selecting the best of the bunch to print far better than trying to get an entire set in one go directly onto an FD258. It's almost impossible to get the same quality doing it in ink directly onto the FD258. I've also had a digital scan done. My best card is actually a mix of the best digital prints and the best ink prints I did myself. You can get FD258 cards for free from the ATF. For the photo, I just used my digital camera, stood against a white wall, edited and printed it on photo paper. I basically have it set up where I am my own kiosk, lol. I can do a fresh F1 in about 15 minutes. |

Trying some different setups. For the Mod 0, I changed out the N1 stock and A1 grip for a SOPMOD stock and A2 grip. For the CQBR ditched the TD stubby VFG and black A2 grip for a KAC taupe VFG and KAC taupe A2 grip. Thoughts?

Got my LMT stock in today. Ordered last Tuesday for reference. It fits the buffer tube really well. Almost too tight.
Feels great though. Better than the B5 one I had before and got rid of.

That's one thing I'll say about the B5 poopy stocks: they fit absolutely perfectly (least mine does). The fit is snug enough not to have any wobble, but it still moves easily. The fit and finish on the poopy is far better than the black contract B5 as well. In my experience, LMT has always had better fit and finish than B5, so hopefully this one will still be an improvement over the black B5 I have - even if the fit is equally tight. |

Fired off 3 mags with this baby after work today. Wanted to try somethin new with the block 1. Feels very light. Threw on the old (really fat bodied) m952 for the pic. This upper (colt 10.3) runs way better (softer) than the 10.5 FN barrel currently on my eod setup. Currently runnin h1 buffer, .070 on colt, not sure of gas port on the FN. zero issues with .223 or 5.56, 55-62grain.

So I had a slightly disappointing discovery this morning. I compared the length of my Mod 0 build to my Block II build and noticed that the Mod 0 is slightly shorter. Both rifles have A2 lowers, Colt 4-position buffer tubes, and SOPMOD stocks. Since the lowers are nearly identical in terms of their parts, this leads me to believe that the barrel on my Mod 0 is actually shorter than 10.3. After Googling "Colt 10.3", I find several pics where the shoulder of the barrel is slightly further out than the end of the bayonet lug. However, on my build, the shoulder is essentially right in line with the end of the bayonet lug. Does this mean I wouldn't ever be able to run a KAC M4QD suppressor? My OCD is throat punching me right now... I purchased this from a reputable online shop who had this in the description: "10.3" Colt Barrel with .070 Gas port (cut down from gov profile Colt 6920 11 degree crown) (New)" Also, on their IG account, they had a video posted of this same upper being test fired on a FA lower and had this to say: "Professionally cut down from a gov profile 6920 by highly experienced gun smith / machinist." What if this isn't actually 10.3", but shorter?

What if this isn't actually 10.3", but shorter? https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1794/28068291037_88528e14aa_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1776/42937571291_05f7c3306f_c.jpg

99% close to purchasing a SF RC2 suppressor from silencer shop. with the single shot trust of course. trying to be as clone correct as possible. someone convince me not to drop the $$? i have no problem with paying a couple extra dollars for ease of transaction/business, and it looks like with the kiosks this is the way of the future. not looking to deal with form 3 transfers between ffl's and stuff. my understanding is that the RC2 is the latest and greatest. while not clone correct it's the closest to the original RC. i see there is also SB's out there that surefire makes. soo.... do i go for it? this would be my first can. going on a block 2. edit: https://i.imgur.com/DpQ3cK3.jpg |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AZ_SBR:
So I had a slightly disappointing discovery this morning. I compared the length of my Mod 0 build to my Block II build and noticed that the Mod 0 is slightly shorter. Both rifles have A2 lowers, Colt 4-position buffer tubes, and SOPMOD stocks. Since the lowers are nearly identical in terms of their parts, this leads me to believe that the barrel on my Mod 0 is actually shorter than 10.3. After Googling "Colt 10.3", I find several pics where the shoulder of the barrel is slightly further out than the end of the bayonet lug. However, on my build, the shoulder is essentially right in line with the end of the bayonet lug. Does this mean I wouldn't ever be able to run a KAC M4QD suppressor?

Well, the seller is being super cool about it, so I wanted to acknowledge that it's Thoroughbred Armament - whom I've done a lot of business with and have been super pleased with. This is no exception. Here's what Ryan wrote: If u want to send it back I can put a new barrel on it. Just had this one cut , beside it is a 10.3 dd barrel. This is one of the problems with doing cut downs, a hair off you don’t notice always. The most crucial part is the barrel shoulder. The barrel can still be 10.3 but if the shoulder cut is off, it looks off. We are actually thinking of discontinuing this service for this reason. We will be happy to swap though. 
Then a follow-up email: Here is this the new one. I’ll keep the one from yours and run it on my gun. 
ETA: Just received a personal call from Ryan at Thoroughbred Armament during which he provided more details and coordinated the return of my current upper for a replacement one. Super cool guy to talk to and made me feel really valued as a customer. |

That's cool of them. I'll have to check em out before they discontinue, or what kind of discounted price I can get that 10.2 for?

Looks like Ryan is running the 10.2 on his own gun.  It really isn't super off, but I can see why it'd be worth tradin back for the 10.3. My almost 10.4 bugs me, but since it's at least a colt, I call it wash. Kinda like a 10.3 .070 dd barrel. Clone enough to look right. Almost.

Say what you will about DD 10.3" barrels not being Colt for clone points, but that's one of the reasons I like them (especially now that they are .070). I don't have to wonder, "Will it be 10.2? 10.3? 10.4 or worse?" Even if that weren't an issue, they are CHF and generally all-around awesome barrels. I don't feel the least bit bad running a DD 10.3 :D.
Now, if only they hadn't fucked up and decided to use that god awful proprietary FSB, I could get one for the Mod 0/CQBR B1 come replacement time. I mean, I guess I could buy a blank and have a fresh FSB pinned, but that's the kind of hassle and extra expense I prefer to avoid. Why can't DD just use a normal goddamn FSB? Makes that Crane spec BA 10.3" w/ FSB from Andro Corp very tempting. |

Can someone who has either A) a bonafide real Colt factory 10.3 FSP barrel, or B) knows for certain they have an accurate 10.3” FSP barrel, take a precise measurement of the space between the front of the bayonet lug and the barrel shoulder?
