Index pin is there to also ensure the right suppressors are being mounted and correctly seated.
MK11 pins are at the 6, and M110s are off centered. You don't really have to have it, but all the knock off gas blocks aren't even made correctly to accept them which is the easiest tell it's a fake. |

Thanks. @PresampleDepot mine is one of the return/DRMO'd MK11 kits. The index pin hole is there sans pin. I was mostly concerned about long term functionality and whether or not adding a pin would be worthy of pursuit, but I'm just going to Charlie Mike and not worry about it. Thanks for confirming. |

If you look real close to the pics sporting the B5 CPS, you can see the Long comb riser, sometimes even on a tube WITHOUT the Law Folder attachment and sometimes you see the Medium on tubes WITH the Law Folder. But none of the pics with the B5 CPS have the Short comb. |

That's correct. Given that you don't have the Law Folder, the .308 ver is probably what you want.

The question about the M110 7.62mm Enhanced upper has been posed several times now but before it's fully discussed, the conversation goes off on a tangent. Does anyone know what enhancements were made to the "Enhanced" M110? I heard in an interview when actually comparing the M110 to bolt guns, not specifically the M24 here but, the man interviewed stated that semi sniper weapons had come a long way and "with the M110 Enhanced system the M110 has come down to a less than ½ MOA weapon system". What voodoo has been introduced make that happen?
|
|

I don’t know specifics but I do remember brownells released a FDE ACC/APC and one lucky fella received one that had “enhanced” marked on the upper. I believe someone from KAC chimed in that it was a mistake that it was released and was likely the only one in civilian hands.
So it’s a safe bet that the mod 2 gas system, E2 bolt along with other KAC magic/refinements have contributed to better performance. |
|
|
Wasn't the lengthened ejection port one of the enhancements?
Also, what is the difference between the ECP (Enhanced Capability Package) and the M110s marked "Enhanced"? Is it the same thing? |

View Quote That's a distinct possibility, maybe the "Enhanced" M110 will be military only but inquiring minds still want to know what's in the secret sauce. |

The lower was an 80% and I engraved it as a concept weapon as if I were big Army and was going to introduce the M110A1 Carbine as an upgraded version of the M110. Much to my chagrin, big Army did go with a M110A1 but manifesting in the HK rifle. So what, I did what I did and I have no regrets. Originally built as a K1 type weapon with URX3.1 and the Mk6B2 scope though I changed it to the Mk6C2 at a later date. https://i.imgur.com/Vx4uNbM.jpg I updated it with the URX4 and the SRT stock. https://i.imgur.com/zdmTjtl.jpg Updated it yet again with a whole new upper in 6.5mm CR which is on the bottom here. https://i.imgur.com/CaJ6jYZ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rDAoTez.jpg Finally ending up here with a Mk5HD https://i.imgur.com/GNEURbW.jpg View Quote Is that a chopped 6.5 or are you in the special club?

Well now I need to know how you got the 6.5 marked upper…

There may be more "Enhanced" uppers out there. somewhere...

I'll just pass this along and leave it there
USSOCOM 6.5 You are quite right, there may be more Enhanced receivers out there by accident. Colt accidentally let go some AR15 lowers that were small pivot pin military style both with and without pivot pin detent holes drilled. They all come off the same production line, or at least, used to. |

It seems like it is the enhanced/extended ejection port, e2 bolt, and sand cutter bolt. Nothing else seems different looking at the two side by side now.

Well not a lot of hocus pocus there. Thanks for the info.

This was around the time we started seeing pics of it pop up on the internet. Not sure when that will happen but there is hope. |

I think that might indeed be the new FDE Mk5HDs in the Leupold FDE IMS Scope Mount, they're sporting the Flatline Ops Bone Spur on the power ring. That and the Flat Line Ops Halo-X Scope Level are supposed to be part of the package as well. Great news that Leupold MAY be selling these to the public at some point, I was informed they were not so. . . . . |
