[Last Edit: ARogueNinja]
This thread will be dedicated to builds and discussions of the FBI clones and thanks to Geissele for listening to the masses and releasing the much coveted rail. Parts lists will be updated as we go.  Please keep it on topic and post pictures of your builds and "in the wild" photos.







Barrel:  Colt 11.5" barrels &  others since there was already a mix of stuff out there between the different offices, prior to the upgrade starting.
Lower:  Colt/ some older DOJ contract RRA lowers, among others.
Grip:  ERGO/ Hogue/ A2
Upper:  Most of the uppers appear to be Colt marked.
Rail:  Troy and Geissele, seems like the main colors for the MK4 rail are Black and OD, unsure of the others.
Flash hider:  A2 flashhiders/ Surefire/ KAC NT4
Optics:  Aimpoint H1/T1s & H2/T2s are approved, along with the Daniel Defense mounts. The Sig Romeo4 red dot was also approved and is being used by some other federal agencies too. Spuhr mounts for Aimpoints for HRT guns.
EOTech EXPS 3 & G33 Magnifier
Sights:  Troy BUIS/ Magpul MBUS
Laser: L3 AN/ PEQ 15
Stock: CTRs  
Sling:  VTAC 2 points/ Magpul MS
Light:  WMLs/ Surefire Scout

Folks generally got a handle on the right parts.

Right now, the FBI has stopped throwing out their T2s/Spuhr mounts because folks are starting to regret replacing them with the ROMEO RDS. Things aren't holding up to abuse and long life. Who knew. You'll see the Aimpoint make a comeback.

Also, nobody in this thread has the right gas block.

Geissele gas blocks are used on the FBI guns, but they are port restricted gas blocks, as in the ports aren't drilled all the way out. We used them in the USMC for some of the souped up M4s, at both 0.072" restricted for 14.5" guns (a bit too small), and 0.068" restricted for 10.3" guns. The FBI uses 0.067" restricted blocks. I think I have one of them stashed away that I never managed to use - might take a photo of it if I can find it. They do a good job keeping gas port erosion from affecting function of the guns as the barrels burn out. Keeps carrier speeds lower, recoil is a bit softer.

They are not sold commercially, or even talked about for that matter.

If you want the same function, take a G block and thread it for a BRT Micro Tune 0.067" port insert.

I'm out.

A black rifle can be completely clone correct, it would just represent a regular agent's rifle, not HRT or Regional SWAT. This thread started as a result of the interest in the green Geissele Mk4 handguards that showed up on Regional SWAT rifles, but all four Geissele colors are in use by the FBI. People are just (understandably) a bit fixated on the green ones because they look great. That's led to what a lot of people are doing, which is combining the features of the HRT and SWAT rifles into a mixed clone (SWAT green handguard and CTR stock, HRT heavy barrel, and Spuhr HRT Aimpoint mount).

I think it would be great if @ARogueNinja could update the original post to reflect the four FBI variants that are out there (these details are incomplete and could be a little off):

HRT: DDC Mk4 handguard, 11.5" Colt HRT heavy barrel, Aimpoint T-2 on Spuhr mount (not sure about the stock), black or FDE(?) CTR or Colt stock

Regional SWAT: OD Green Mk4 handguard, 11.5" Colt LE6933 government profile barrel, Aimpoint T-2 on Daniel Defense mount, OD green CTR or Colt stock

Vehicle Teams: Grey Mk4 handguard, 11.5" Colt LE6933 government profile barrel, Sig Romeo, FAB Defense PTK AFG, Maxim Defense collapsible stock

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/1182/green___grey_M4_carbines_jpg-1584398.JPG

Field Agent: Black Mk4 handguard, 11.5" Colt LE6933 government profile barrel, Aimpoint T-2 on Daniel Defense mount or Sig Romeo, black CTR or Colt stock

I think this is a grey Mk4 issued to hrt4me but is (I believe) representative of the standard agent rifle configuration. I don't recall seeing any photos in this thread of a regular agent's carbine:

I'm jumping in feet first. Won't be a 100% clone build, but more of a clone inspired build. Also have a ODG Mk4 rail that I will be getting soon for it.



Anyone else doing the Marvin Pitts dimple job on their build? Not sure if I am crazy or not, but the Colt HRT barrel seems like the perfect barrel to do this on.

Yeah I hear you about the 12 week wait. Understandable. I have always wanted a dimple barrel. Marvin is the only one doing a pattern I like. I don't care for the ADCO pattern.

Cold here in mine I'm not in a rush to finish the build. I'll definitely post pictures when it is done. Probably have the barrel cerakoted in a graphite grey or a graphite black type color. ODG would be too far over the top for me. I think a lighter black or dark grey would look good with the dimples against the ODG Mk4 rail.

I agree the FBI HRT Barrel is a perfect candidate for dimpling. This first HRT Clone I Build will be trying to get as close as possible. The second build I do will most likely get the Dimple Job by Marvin...

That barrel looks great after Marvin did his thing. Thanks for posting that picture. I am only going to do one HRT alone build. More of an inspired build I guess with the ODG Mk4 rail + Colt FBI HRT barrel and maybe another part or two. But otherwise I am just going to build it with parts that I like I think. Always wanted a dimpled barrel and this seems like the best time to do it.

Anyone know of a dealer with a good price and stock of "C" marked Cerro Forge or Keyhole stripped upper?
Link Posted: 1/13/2019 2:33:15 PM EDT
[Last Edit: michaelwesten] [#19]
I had to hunt long and hard. I grabbed mine off the EE & it was a Virgin. But I couldn’t find any online dealers that had them in stock

I’m guessing stock has dried up and more of the Cage Codes are being produced now... I would think a Cage Code would be acceptable for Clone Correctness being that if it was a NEW FBI HRT Upper (2017-) being fielded it would PROBABLY come with a Cage Code Upper and G Rail... that’s just my assessment based on whats in the market now... I’m pretty sure the FBI doesn’t go out of their way to ask for C Marked uppers... those are just uppers that have been in their armory over a long time.

But most of the FBI Uppers I’ve seen that have been running MK4’s appear to most likely have been upgraded from the Troy rail to the G Rail so they have a C Marked Cerro Upper hence why we want it for Clone... but I wouldn’t knock you for going with a Cage Code

Stamped C uppers stopped being produced in early 2017, so all that is left are virgins that people didn't build out or take offs. Most colt production switched to cage code marked in 2017, as evidenced by the sheer number of threads here and in the Colt industry forum asking about new colt markings on new production rifles.

@Tigwelder1971 has mentioned and linked to a number of articles indicating that colt had problems with anodizing, and is behind on new .mil contracts, so even the cage code marked uppers are in limited supply. I would not be surprised if there is a dry spell for colt uppers outside of take offs since 100% of their production will be going to the mil contracts to get caught up.

I think in the near future it will be "build with what you can find"

Whatever you do, stay away from the raised C uppers. Read about that Here.

I THINK someone posted in the geissele forum of a 10.5' barrel with a can that was super tight, but worked. But it does seem that it totally depends on the muzzle device and can used.

It’s not enough to be significant. If you get dimples done to your barrel, it’s becuase they looks badass, not because it actually does anything of note. That’s my barrel that was posted earlier and have had Marvin do 6 of them for me. Dimples are pretty much for looks and there is little weight savings.

Marvin commented in a thread on the other site some time ago about the weight savings and the claims of increased rigidity. The weight savings and rigidity difference were both negligible.

Correct, the Federal XM556SBCT3 is the civilian equivalent to the FBI contract XM556FBIT3 Training/duty load as of now...

I just grabbed 200 rounds a couple months ago specifically for my KAC CQB Block III Clone with the FBI HRT Barrel.. Will now be using it to zero and keep loaded in the HRT Clone as soon as it’s finished.

I have a colt. 2 actually. Between their upper and lowers there’s no reason to get one
Everyone on arf loves colt and for good reason. There’s just no reason to pay that amount of money for one unless to truly clone
Let the flaming begin lol

Yeah i'd have to agree. When buying Colt, you are paying for the name. As far as fit, finish and feel, Aero is better in all regards. Just my experience obviously, YMMV...
