Yessir. To say pinned isn't superior would make me an absolute retard BUT- Years back I was always worried about it as well as I had always done taper pinned FSB.

But yeah the pair that's used by SOCOM is a non issue. One of my block 2 variations I ran a shaved down FSB which is about as robust as it gets Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MILSPEC556:

Are these being discontinued? I figured with geissele getting the contract, that Daniel Defense would be able to supply these rails separately again. Edit: rails are still priced at $445 |

I've even used a piece of PVC pipe (.75 PVC is actually about .78 ID) as a block to tap a block all the way down to the shoulder on the barrel. And by "tap" I mean "force", of course. Which is why I bought a dimpling jig...if it's that hard to get the mother on, I want to make sure I get it in the right spot the first time. Those setscrews are probably only doing at most 5% of the "holding on" work on the uppers I built. Not that I don't think staking the setscrews is a good thing, but I feel that's a belt-suspenders-nailgun approach. |

If DD had their pulse on the market they would've dropped their prices on the RIS and actually made it available to help undercut the Geissele rails that have been out.

I guess he'll be selling DD 14.5" barrels/gas blocks for the Geissele clones though. You have to think he has another plan up his sleeve . To use a market analogy, the stock price of Geissele has sky-rocketed, while DD's valuation has fallen. Rather than allow their price to match it's worth, they've decided to sell them at the bloated price from years ago when they were super in demand? No thanks. The market will likely have quite a few used rails hitting the scene, and I see no reason while other retailers such as Brownells start discounting them on the uppers. I'm in the market for one at some point in the next 6 months, but I won't be buying it at that price. |

The only government-issued firearm that uses this particular barrel (heavy SOCOM barrel with no relief cuts under the hand guard) were some SBRs that were issued to the FBI. The FBI placed a special order for their HRT operations (Hostage Rescue Team), and there was an “overrun” for the special order. My barrel came from a Colt SOCOM upper I purchased a few years ago, and while my barrel is 16” long, it has the same barrel profile as the Colt 6933...just longer. So, if you wanted to use your barrel for a clone project, an FBI SBR project! If anyone else has any information about these barrels, please feel free to add! |
