Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver: A2X or spacer and use a A2/NT4 pinned and weld? I've done A2X, YHM Phantom and a used SF4P on 14.5's" at home. I did attach a 4P down range for a team on a M4A1 MWS for a EOD attachment as they wanted him to have a suppressor. Took it back off after the rotation ended. CD Thought about all that as well as this so I can use common surefire suppressor and resembles an extended a2

Swapped out my PSA for a colt 6921, and added a SF3P. Also put in an IWC qd endplate and offset sling mount for personal preferences.

What's the consensus on PRI Gas Buster charging handles? Would they be correct for a Block I, or are they more 1.5/II?

Did a bad thing and ordered a new kac ras. So I will have the ras and the aimpount qrp mount to start my block 1 build. I will need to get some more rail covers and kac vfg as the rail I bought only has 3 11 rib panels. It's the commercial pack from kac.

Are there any options for putting the old school surefire tape switch on the top rail without zip ties or rubber bands? I really like the cloud defensive mounts and am considering getting another. Wondering if it would even fit?
Or, thinking of just ditching the m951 altogether for a m600. Are those block 1.5 acceptable since the insights are impossible to find. |

Been back and forth over the last year of buy/sell/ collecting some clone parts
Scanned most of the thread and after the last few pages seeing the discussions on Block 1 vs MWS im seeing where I stand Parts I have or enroute to me TA01NSN KAC RAS kit with panels and broomstick 14.5 Colt SOCOM fsp barrel C stamped upper receiver SOPMOD stock (currently only a gen2) Colt C stamped and MPC bcg PRI gas buster KAC 300m Matech BUIS Dont have a decent clone lower yet but have a Colt A2 and standard trigger guard on whatever i use as a placeholder. Thinking of ordering caps to make 1 of my Aimpoint PROs looke the M2 part since my astigmatism is pretty rough with a 4moa dot. For this Id like to find a Wilcox mount Edit: also I see a ton of 951 with the thinner bodies (not fat with a flat spot) are these actual SOPMOD lights or general issue M4/MWS |

 We’re getting there. Think I’m going to try and do a force recon clone with a tri rail up front on one of them. FLower and ras will be here next week as well as gas tubes, delta rings, and charging handles from shark arms. Couple questions for you guys: 1) I have another upper which is a fn upper, does anyone have any idea where to get a surplus fn socom barrel? I’m thinking I might use this upper/barrel for a block 2 build 2) which is more clone correct the utg tri rail or the ergo and is the utg tri rail kosher? I’m so ocd the drooping of the ergo might drive me insane |
