A few things in regards to Regional Swat rifles.....

There a few things I understand to be unquestionable as its been proven by either agents sharing info and pics or per spec,

Reginal SWAT Upper:
-COLT: Upper, BCG, 6933 Barrel, SS Gas Tube
-Charging Handle: Colt or RRA Mil spec or Geissele Government CH in Black
-Geissele: ODG Federal Rail, Stainless Gas Block
-Flash Hiders: A2
-BUIS: TROY or Magpul (the plastic ones)
-Primary Sights: Aimpoint T1, T2, H1, H2, Eotech EXPS and G33, Sig Romeo
-Mounts for Aimpoints: SPHUR HRT or Daniel Defense
-Forward Grip: Magpul AFG in green, "that israeli made one" in black
-Light: Surefire Scout or Inforce WML Gen2 in black

Reginal SWAT Lower:
-Colt or RRA
-Safety, mag release, bolt catch, takedown pins, all standard mil spec Colt or RRA lower parts kit pieces
-Trigger Guard: Standard Mil Spec or aluminum magpul enhanced in black
-Trigger: mil spec Colt, RRA or Geissele SSA
-Receiver extension: black 4 position milspec Colt or RRA
-End Plate: Standard Milspec or Magpul ASAP QD
-Carbine buffer spring and H1 or H2 buffer
-Stock: Magpul CTR in green or M4 mil spec
-Grip: Ergo, A2 or Houge non beaver tail EITHER OF THESE ONLY IN BLACK

If there are any other verified options other than what I have listed above or if any of what I have been lead to believe in untrue, can someone please correct me.
Also, from a "Clone" standpoint, if ANY of the parts are deviated from..... that automatically disqualifies the gun as a clone and it becomes an "inspired by" build, correct?

Sorry if this all sounds silly but I'm just trying to make sure I have all my info correct before I move forward with what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for all the help and information you guys provide.

Good summary. I think the only thing you're missing under the upper is:

Charging Handle: Colt or RRA MILSPEC, black Geissele Government CH

I assume the RRA CH is one of the options, along with the other RRA components, but I'm not sure anyone could tell the difference from a Colt CH.

I believe the DEA rifles shipped with the RRA 2 stage trigger, and since the FBI RRA's were piggybacked off that contract I imagine they also could have those (pure supposition on my part, I've never broken down an FBI rifle). Earlier in the thread I posted several photos showing the legacy Troy railed carbines with Grip Pod foregrips and one with a BE Meyers M249F muzzle device, so those are "in the system" and could potentially be kosher for a later Geissele railed carbine depending on how lenient the Clone Lords are feeling. Otherwise, list looks good to me.

Anyone have a lead on a new Colt carbine buffer spring? My rifle I'm rebuilding into an FBI clone obviously already has one, but it has seen a lot of rounds. I suppose I could always go with a Sprinco white buffer spring, but it would be nice to keep everything Colt.

Honestly any big name companies spring would be fine. I really wouldn’t consider any new production colt Parts as good as the older stuff.

Ya, that'll likely be my solution. I know insisting on Colt for such a run of the mill part is a bit much, but it is a clone after all. So far I don't think I've had to deviate almost at all from clone correctness.

If it’s lost, let me know.  I can’t give it away, but it would be very reasonable based on what they sold for when plentiful and in stock.  Hopefully not much more than the insurance included with your package.

Has anyone seen a black Geissele government charging handle anywhere recently?

I think the last time I saw a black Government charging handle in stock was at Charlie’s Customs last year, and they were priced at around $125. I started a thread in the Geissele industry subforum on the topic - they couldn’t provide a timeframe for when more might be produced but said they plan to add charging handles to their list of products that can be backordered:

I think I made a bone headed move and sold exactly what you are after, all colt URGI-I colt clone in ODG that i built with the original mk16 rail from the black Friday 2018 drop. Sold it in December of 2019 and ended up including it in a down payment for property. In the long run hopefully a good financial move, but I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that I regret selling that.

If you can't find the rail to do your build and decide to depart with that ACH in ODG, let me know.

E; found an old pic

I have the ODG rail / CH set from that first Black Friday sale, along with a Colt "C" Cerro upper and BCG, but I've been holding off on buying the DD barrel until I find a 4-prong at a decent price. I'm also undecided about what lower I want to use (old 6920 vs. a newer clone lower). Just not in a big hurry to make the tough decisions.

That was a beautiful set you had there!

I've been interested in doing an older clone with the Troy rail, 11.5" colt barrel...etc. I was curious if this was the correct older optic combo they used. It's a 552 on the RRA riser that brings the optic to lower 1/3. Would this optic have been seen on Troy rail variation? And what size rail? 10" fde Troy alpha?Attachment Attached File

Hey Dyzastr you can’t be in here
It’s the 9 inch rail I believe. Go look at my post on the previous page (69) with a pic of one
