I buy a lot of retro parts from Apex. They are great. Plenty of A1 grips of varying condition and price. Good place to score teardrop FA's too.

Recently I ran across a $29 clone of a Colt Ambi-safety by Sons of Liberty Gunworks.
While it isn’t 100% clone correct but pretty dang close to it. Or it may even be made by the same company that makes USGI Ambi safeties since it has an “S” cartouche, which could mean SOLG or something else. Maybe someone here knows? https://sonsoflibertygw.com/ambi-safety-selector-kit/ Anyways, if you need an ambI safety and don’t wanna spend the extra cash for a Colt, check out this one. I’m getting one soon that’s for sure! |

Need some help defining what I have here.
I picked up an upper that is completely unmarked except for the (BI) on the FSB. Barrel looks to be around 10.5 inches, A2 upper with an A1 forward assist. I cannot locate the barrel twist rate or caliber markings anywhere either. Also looking to replace the standard carbine handguards with either a FF or railed option, but one that would keep with the retro aesthetic. https://imgur.com/a/ZAklWwZ |

Any idea the barrel profile, or am I going to have to measure to be sure? It's a heavy barrel; looks very similar to the profile of a Delton or FTF Industries 11.5" HB, along with a few others. Without markings, it's hard to nail down without further information. Delton 11.5" HB FTF 11.5" HB Google "heavy barrel 11.5" and you'll see quite a few possibilities. You're better off posting in the main AR Discussions as it's not really anything to do with Mk18s or CQBRs. |

I'm thinking of making the switch to a LPVO on my CQBR. I mostly shoot at AR500 steel from 100 yards to 350 yards. Also have access to property about 2 hours away with range out to 600 yards. I find most of my AR shooting to be 100-350 yards and on some small sized steel, generally around 10" and less. Anything closer than 100 yards and we keep the ammo to pistol calibers for safety and to not kill the steel. We don't shoot at cardboard and can't get much dynamic shooting as we really only have one long narrow lane for rifles that has a good backstop. We make it work by moving and shooting within that lane.
Anyone in here been running a 1-4 or 1-6 LPVO on their 10.3"? How have you been liking it? You using a 1.5" high mount or working with the new taller 1.7" or 1.93" heights? The Badger Condition 1 in 1.70" looks interesting, wondering how well that works between standing and the ability to still shoot prone comfortably. I found these two articles that were an OK read: Article 1 Article 2 Obviously not my rifles, images pulled from the first article: PST 1-6 Gen 2 doesn't look half bad on there:  Looks like the Strike Eagle 1-8 is now "seen in the wild"  Despite all the press of SOCOM rolling out new URG-I uppers and new scopes, nothing new has hit SF units in mass yet. The scopes were personally/individually purchased, and the Geissele mounts were a unit-purchased item.

I’m debating between an aimpoint pro and a razor gen 2. I like the idea running a LPVO like the razor, but there all so damn heavy. I feel like the MK18 should be lightweight an maneuverable. Seems like red dots were made for SBR’s

Ok, so I feel stupid even asking this because I haven't seen it discussed, but is there some sort of trick to getting the locking ring on the NT4 to rotate down so that the gate latch can open? I have blisters on both of my thumbs from trying during a conjugal visit today and felt I must be doing something wrong to be struggling so hard.

The original latch design didn't have the roll pin for tension and they found it could vibrate unlocked during shooting, so it was added. There should be some resistance, but you shouldn't be getting blisters trying to move it, lol. If the roll pin isn't bent, maybe try a touch of grease or high-temp anti-seize and work it back and forth with some gloves on until the finish on the roll pin wears off and it smooths out a bit. ETA: I should've scrolled further than the first few pictures before jumping to the bottom to respond, lol.

I'll try the grease and work it around some the next time I visit. You know, after looking at it more closely and taking a picture of mine for comparison, it does almost look like your tension pin might be a little further to the left than mine. It's hard to tell if it's the angle, but it looks like it has more of a gap between the little locking notch on the gate that the lock ring rides on and the roll pin. If all else fails and working it doesn't improve things, you could bend the roll pin to right and down ever so slightly. You want a decent amount of tension, but if it's so stiff it's causing blisters when new, it's gonna be nearly impossible to move once it gets some carbon in it unless it loosens up.   If you notice, there is absolutely no gap at all between my tension roll pin and the gate locking notch. On yours, it appears there is a tiny gap, but again, that could just be the angle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: You know, after looking at it more closely and taking a picture of mine for comparison, it does almost look like your tension pin might be a little further to the left than mine. It's hard to tell if it's the angle, but it looks like it has more of a gap between the little locking notch on the gate that the lock ring rides on and the roll pin. If all else fails and working it doesn't improve things, you could bend the roll pin to right and down ever so slightly. You want a decent amount of tension, but if it's so stiff it's causing blisters when new, it's gonna be nearly impossible to move once it gets some carbon in it unless it loosens up. http://wkd.site.nfoservers.com/CQBR/NT4.Tension.Roll.Pin.jpg http://wkd.site.nfoservers.com/CQBR/NT4.Tension.Roll.Pin-01.jpg If you notice, there is absolutely no gap at all between my tension roll pin and the gate locking notch. On yours, it appears there is a tiny gap, but again, that could just be the angle. Hmm, after looking at your pics, now I'm not sure if it's the angle, or if it's actually different! I think you're right that I shouldn't have to have blisters to work it (I actually can't feel the tips of both of my thumbs right now lol). I did have no problem at all once I had it open and then opened the latch and put it on the rifle; I was able to lock it in place all the way back around with ease. Not sure if that's normal or not. |

I need help deciding on a lower.. Right now its either spend $400 on a stripped PSD M4A1 lower or just buy a complete lower (Most likely a BCM). I don't think i'll find a Colt, and there's no way it'll be M4A1 marked. Any ideas?

If you want M4A1 Carbine and US Govt markings, these aren't a bad option at all. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-m4a1-stripped-lower-receiver.html Some are gonna shit on them because they're PSA, but I've got a few and I've got no complaints. As long as it's in spec and you use a quality LPK, a stripped lower is a stripped lower. |

If you can finish an 80% lower yourself, there are places to get it engraved with clone-correct markings. Excluding the fact that I already own a mill and endmills to finish machining my losers... Both my Colt clone 80% lowers were <$150 each engraved and anodized. They look 100% legit minus the third hole. |

You want to give a try at spinning the handwheels to replicate text and logos?
