Well I took my upper out of the safe today in anticipation of finally shooting it this weekend. Through the rail, I noticed two small rusty "dots" an inch or so rear of the gas block at the 7 o clock and 10 o clock positions. This is my first carbine length barrel so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what the hell? Any ideas? https://i.imgur.com/6vu79sw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oM2Fdbb.jpg

Not sure, is your rail cracked yet?
Seriously is that the solution? I have the Geissele gas block and will toss it if this is the fix. |

I'm using Daniel Defense low-pro gas blocks under my MK16 and MK14s and it seems to have plenty of clearance.
I guess it would hit if I dropped it in the same manner as the guy with the MAWL, but I don't think any tube type setup would fare much differently. |

Forgive the iPotato pic, but I broke the URGI in yesterday. Only took 3 clicks up to zero the Razor with M855 and was smooth shooting there on out. I did, however, notice my Mk12 gas block is pretty much touching on one side of the lower rail sections so I may clearance it a bit at some point. Didn't seem to impact my accuracy, but I'm also not really what you'd call a "precision" shooter so maybe I couldn't tell the difference ha
 .
On an unrelated note, I took my wife and she loves the mini-recce and now feels all of my rifles need a can. Who am I to argue?

Glad though the Wifey enjoyed the range with you, and I wish more women were into this hobby, what did the Mrs. think of the URGI or did you just break it in yourself? I know there are quite a few women on here that are into the Hobby, but with all the noise stirred up by the recent drop test, curious to know if there are any female opinions on this, as we have heard from all the regulars on here, it would be nice to hear the female side of this! It would be a breath of fresh air from all the redundant claims and opinions!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pezboytate: But they haven't been tested in ANY other scenario. The MAWL is different than other accessories in that it is 10 oz, cantilever, and robust. It will definitely exacerbate any issues. IF MAWLs are issued and they cause the rail (as issued) to deform at a reasonable height, it's a problem. |

Hope I'm not too off topic here. I noticed some of you guys rattle can and some of you cerakote/durakote/etc.
I was wanting to get my AR's colored FDE (upper and lower receiver) professionally to match the GA URGI upper Do you guys recommend any place in particular? Ill prob send them a few pistols while I'm at it. Thanks in advance! |
