Eta- the armorers at crane are human too, so I'm sure there are examples of everything from 10.25" to 10.38 somewhere out there. This is purely hypothetical, with absolutely no proof to back it up. Just a thought. Depending on quality control on any given day, there is a definite possibility of some barrels getting through that exceed the high or low end of their specs.

How do you like the SSP compared to the SD3G? Any trigger time yet? Guessing not if you swapped today ;p.

I've played around with the idea of swapping one (or more) of my S3Gs for SSPs, but I'm still on the fence. I know academically what to expect, but it's one of those things where I'm probably not going to know for sure until I actually try one. It'd have to be damn snazzy to replace my S3Gs. Still, hearing some feedback is always good.

Honestly the S3G/SD3G are much lighter with shorter/faster reset; which is awesome. I've been using them since they first came out in 2010ish so I do have a few years behind them and I do love them.

That being said I've alway use them for fun; also people said you can't use them for precision shooting but truth be told I've shot very tight groups with them. But the thing is, fun is all that they are. For serious duty uses tho I prefer a slightly heavier trigger.

I've been using SSA/SSAE for duty use but I never like 2-stage trigger on CQB-type rifle. This is where the SSP shines. Even thought it's not a light or fast as the 3G trigger it is by no mean heavy or has a long reset. I dry fired the 2 I installed today a bunch of times and I am honestly very happy and will be buying a few more of them for sure.

ETA: all of my S3G/SD3G have what to me feel like a slight trigger slap when reseting; I think this is due to the very short reset. I don't feel that in any of my SSA/SSAE/SSF, Match DMR, and the newly installed SSP which is also another thing I'm very happy about.

Don't get me started on those guys at Crane on 10.3" bbls (cut down 14.5"s).  Always couple barrels in each batch they send us that the thread pitch is off on muzzle.  Go to screw on a Surefire 4P and strip the threads on the barrel!  Haven't had that issue on the new FN SOCOM 10.3" barrels.

Barrel length would be right at 16" with an RC attached. You would need to have someone on here with an actual 10.3" barrel place a 16" rod down on a closed bolt and see if it protrudes.

If you live on your own then sorry, they have no say in what you do with your time or money.

Ultimately I wouldn't bother with the time and money involved in pinning and welding a training suppressor. Just build the rifle how you want in pistol format and save the money for purchasing a real suppressor when you move out.

It’s not at all. The best option is for you to throw a block ii CQBR on a pistol lower, then once you’re old enough that your parents have no say you can tax stamp that lower to an SBR and remove the pistol brace for a stock.

ETA just realized you’re obviously not 21 yet, so that pistol lower MIGHT need to be in your parents name until then

Anoka county, how about you?

I’ve really debated the pistol route but it just looks so ugly IMO. If I pin and weld it will look exactly alike (minus the bigger hole in the can).

Personally, with the release of the SBA3, the pistol brace on a Mk18 doesn't look as bad as it used to. Even better since it's quickly adjustable and simply slides over a milspec M4 extension. It's the best option to have the build as a pistol while you wait for a tax stamp.

The Surefire may be incredibly difficult to pin and weld since it is not direct thread and has a rotating ring for a lock collar. You may be paying quite a bit of money to a gun smith to figure that out. It may not work in the end.

I don't mean to get too far out of discussion here, but honestly if you are living with your parents I would put cloning rifles on hold and I would start saving up for moving out.

Oh.

Well if going for a B2 CQBR I still say pistol lower that way you have the benefits of the short gun and not excess length with a fake can.

But if it was me and didn’t want pistol I would do the 14.5” block II pin/weld muzzle device, that way I would get something out of the excess length (velocity increase) and not just dead space if you know what I mean

I am using the beveled spacer on mine above, but the angle of the photo the rail blocks. it.

The purpose of the bevel is to overcome any kind of chamfer that may be on the barrel from the cutting procedure (shown in red below). If someone is using a well cut barrel that doesn't have a ledge there and is more of a 90degree angle then they shouldn't need the beveled washer.

I agree that the braces now days are looking pretty nice. And there's no dicking around. Just slap a brace on the lower and go.

So its definitely on my old phone but since Google apparently is not your friend, I hooked it up phat with that good good.

This is exactly how I did it except I skipped cut number 1 because its a useless cut. Make those 2 rear cuts then just round it off smooth to match the LMT, hit bare metal with black paint. Wear a SARS mask to be sure not to get any metal shavings, paint fumes, or foreign cock materials in your suck and enjoy.

Edit: Retard alert, should have read page 1 again which I've looked at a 1000 times.

Whatcha waitin for? Do it! I've got two colt square forge (meuller brass I believe) and both have the purple tint to the anodizing. Plus it helps that most times the square forge uppers are $20 to $30 cheaper than keyhole for some reason. So I'd start there. Many of the square forge colt uppers I've seen in the EE appear to have that purple tint.

Yep, looks like prong quantity will be intensifying :\.

Not sure I understand the logic here. They don't mind you having a gun in their house, but they care whether it has a tax stamp? What difference would that make?

I took it as pops don't want the ATF associated with his address/name. In which case I don't really blame pops.

The person filing the form is really the only one getting the scrutiny, but fair enough I suppose. Hell, we're probably all on a list somewhere just for posting regularly on this site, lol.

If it were me, obviously I'd go the pistol route and file the F1 later. Not giving up very much with an SBA3 or SBM4.

That will do it. I think I'd have to sell 90% of my mk18 collection just to build one good spr. Those can be some expensive builds for sure.
