I sold a 5000 for 850ish in GB. 700-800 seems to be market price though.
Want to make a note and get y'all's thoughts on this opinion. I got my ocm5 can in a couple weeks ago and it is very front heavy on my Gordon. I have a mk18, but with the vertical grip it helps the weight. But the Gordon feels like a weightless rifle with a 10lb weight on the front. Last point/question, because I love this thread and discussion. Would y'all use a colt m16a1 upper or cmmg C7 upper for your Gordon? I'll post an imgur link below showing the difference. https://imgur.com/a/QEAsBl4 |

For those looking for an alternative to the Surefire barrel mounts, here's a cheaper option that's steel and well made. These work with just about any 1" light body. They use a two piece bushing to fit around a gov't profile barrel, but will also mount to shotguns without the bushing. These were originally made by Rosch Works a few years ago before they went out of business. I believe the barrel mount itself is called the TM1. I got mine off Ebay a while back and forgot I had it. You can find them on Gunbroker and Ebay for pretty cheap every now and again. I believe a lot of police departments used them for a short time, so their trade-ins pop up on occasion.
    No relation to the seller, but there are a few on GB right now with the light (250 lumen and was made for Rosch Works by Malkoff Devices) for dirt cheap. I think these things were like $200+ new a few years ago, so you get a nice little carry light and a nice mount for your BHD build for cheap  https://www.gunbroker.com/item/985204103 |

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm not sure it would work without some modification. I do think one could fabricate their own bushing, and make the hole for the bushing off center (think half moon or 3/4 moon shaped) to creat some space. Obviously it would make the light stick out a bit further, but I think it would work. I'll check myself with a shaved fsb and barrel I have laying around.

So stupid question I'm sorry. I've looked into the AE thread in the suppressor/armory section and I want to make sure my thinking is correct. If I want to suppressor to fit against the FSP then the 12.5 length barrel is the way to go correct? This would require a two stamp rifle.
If I wanted to do a one stamp I could pin and weld the AE break on a 14.5 to get 16 inches but it would leave a gap. Something like this  Honestly the gap doesn't bother me Thanks just trying to make sure I understand |

The Allen M4/Gordon suppressor works with the 14.5” barrel and collar. OCM makes a collar designed to interface properly with the more common 12.5” barrel and AEM/OCM5 suppressors. Seems like getting the thinner OCM collar, or getting a longer barrel cut and profiled to 12.7” and the original Allen collar, are the ways to use the AEM/OCM5 cans on the shorter barrels with the can backed up to the FSP via the collar. @Subpar has posted pics of both setups, though I don’t believe he’s ever put up pics of a 14.5” with the standard brake/collar to use the AEM5 suppressor. I know Allen sells the extended collar/brake combo thing as well. ETA: believe it’s the M4 AEM5 collar on this page http://www.aesuppressors.com/mounts/ |

Got the 9000SC zeroed today. Shot my first group and went to adjust, only to notice I’d mounted it 90deg off, haha. A quick loosen/turn/tighten on the Leupold rings and we were back in business. Held about 2MOA with 55gr American Eagle FMJ.
This, and my PRO wearing 733, are starting to become my favorite daytime uppers to mess around with. Probably the realization that cutting a few pounds off compared to most of my 18” guns makes for an easier day of shooting.  Attached File |

Mind telling me where you got that light mount? I’m thinking either one of those or the FSB mount, since I’ve got a 6P I’m going to use on my M4 barrel, C7 upper 723 to make a “spirit of BHD” carbine. Already have an ARMS mount and the Leupold rings, just need to grab a 9000SC.

Amazon and ebay have a bunch of chinesium 1" rings/ pic mounts for cheap. There are also better quality ones I'm sure but I got a 2 pack for $10. Seems OK for now but one of the screws dug into the mount pretty deep without too much effort lol.

Any evidence of flip up scope caps on the Aimpoint 9000SC-looking optics back then? I’m not a fan of the rubberband style hunting ones that came with it, but I do like having the lenses covered during transport.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HipSh0T: +1 I really want to know if you could mount it under the FSB, looks like you can squeeze it under there. So I got mine in and thought it was a split ring design, unfortunately its not. So in order to install it you would have to slide it on while installing the FSP and repin it all it once. I may try to chop it in half to see if that still works. |

Yeah I don’t have a single clone weapon of any kind. Happy to start here. No current interest in others |

So I think I'm going to get started on one. I found an old A2 upper in the safe. Its got a ban era Bushmaster 20 inch heavy barrel on it. Need to remove that and find a 14.5 P/W barrel. Might just leave it there for a bit. I think I'm going to do the M4 suppressor length so it will only be a 1 stamp rifle.
