Finally making some progress on this thing. Got the barrel back from ADCO and put the upper together today.
I had a hard time with the decision to put the Surefire flash hider on, as it will be the only non-clone part on the rifle when it's all done, but it just seems stupid to have a non-suppressor-capable rifle when I have suppressors to put on it:  Attached File |

And totally agree RE: suppressor host. I'm not a cloner but there's no (good) reason to put on an A2 if you have SF cans at the ready. |

And totally agree RE: suppressor host. I'm not a cloner but there's no (good) reason to put on an A2 if you have SF cans at the ready. ETA: Actually, in person there's no discernible difference between the AFG and the rail. So the lighting does affect it a bit. |

I didn't have an A2 laying around and I don't have an SF can. But I did have a FH556-216A laying around.
For me Id prefer an NT4 comp because I have an NT4, but maybe later |

I don't know if anyone notices this or not, there's some slight difference between the older issued federal rail compare to last black friday's released rail.
Noted in this picture, the older rail where the geissele logo and info were engraved, the rail was going from round surface then transition to flat surface. 
And in this newly released rail, it's flat across the rail. In the red circle. Also the older rail has Mlok logo on the left side. I checked some pictures of the issued fbi rifles, they are all the older style. |

The correct bit should just fit through the threaded hole. I would check that again. The tap should be the same diameter/thread pitch as the set screw hole and will screw through. It may shave a hair off the existing threads but that will not affect fit, form or function. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Muzap:

If the tap will fit, the correct drill bit for that tap has to fit. I am away from home right now or I'd go look at my bit and give you the size. I would not recommend tapping without pre-drilling. It might work, but if you break off that hardened steel tap in the hole, you have a whole new problem. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Muzap:
