Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks great, man. And it's definitely much darker than my green MK16, as well. No wonder I thought it was black in your last pic. Still beautiful, though. @5L33P3R Thought you might wanna see the pic of his FED MK4 rail out in the sun. Thanks for the heads up man! Now just need to figure out if I go with one of the green anodized colt tubes or the black one  Attached File |

Anyone know if the 13.5" will cover a rifle length gas block? The best I can tell is that'll be close, possibly have .2-.25 inches of play.

My grey 13.5" Mk16 just came in today. It looks great.
I spent the weekend researching barrels for this build, fixated on doing a 14.5" setup like the URG-I. What's everyone else doing for barrels? I don't care about being clone correct as i'll be using a BE Meyers ASR flash hider. Aesthetically I think a 14.5" would look great, and I'll be moving my Vortex Razor over to this build when it's done. Thoughts from others? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm just anti thin behind the gas block, thick in front of the gas block. The Criterion hybrid isn't quite as bad as Govt, but it is similar. They just have unnecessary weight in the front. Rianier Arms Mountain Series midweight Was just looking at this. Looks like an FN produced CHF barrel. |

Ah I'm tracking. Looking at DD's govt 14.5 it's definitely thicker in the front. Whereas a lot of folks are offering more of a consistent taper from back to front. It's what drew me to the BCM EHL in the first place. Rianier Arms Mountain Series midweight Was just looking at this. Looks like an FN produced CHF barrel. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The ODG ACH is a great match for my ODG Colt tube. The ODG B5 SOPMOD looks kind of like a dark foliage green next to the other parts. Not the best lighting indoors on the workbench, unfortunately. I think anything but natural sunlight seems to make the matte finish on the Mk16 look more brown in photos. I was in a rush to compare them after the B5 stock arrived today ($61.75 from SKD’s BF sale).
