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 More info here: Industry Thread Originally Posted By mbpike: Originally Posted By GS5414: Alright homies.

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. S/F Lets get this added to the OP. Originally Posted By elucidate: Not a clone. Large regional SWAT. Skinny commando barrel. Originally Posted By elucidate: Indeed.

Originally Posted By 3ACR_Scout: Originally Posted By AZgunner: I haven't decided if I'm doing the clone correct green rail, or if I'll do the same setup but in all black. It depends on where I'm at in a few months. If I need to give my current rifle back and use the FBI clone on duty, I need to do it in black, as only all black color schemes are currently authorized. 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: https://i.imgur.com/A6UVttH.jpg |

I'm a huge fan of how the geissele mk4 mounts up. I have a very early mk 4, not a fed, with the gumdrop shape cutouts on the bottom, and I really like it. Only problem is that it was pre-mlok. I know this ain't a geissele thread per say, but does anyone know what made them change the mounting design? It's like they took all of the important material from the stability of the rail, and decided to smash it all into where the mounting bolts go? I've always wondered what possessed them to do that?
eta- still working on my 10.5" Troy rail fbi clone. Should have pics very soon. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ThRob: Great picture, nice to see the Ergo grips and Magpul accessories. I'm guessing that recce upper is a private purchase on an issued lower. No, the 14.5” uppers were a GOV program. The ones local to me have 4x ACOGs rather than Razor LPVOs. In general SWAT Agents have more latitude to chose accessories and enablers such as optics, WML, hand stops/VFG etc vs the general Agent population who have a few limited / specific options from an authorized equipment list. How much latitude varies from Division to Division or team to team. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dyzastr: @HCM3156 -Interesting. Almost all the pics posted in here have 9" Troy rails with 10.5" barrels. Any chance you could get an image or a pic? I still haven't installed the rail, so any excuse to get an 11.5" is fine with me. The one image I saw of a clone with a 9" Troy with an 11.5" barrel was way off proportion wise. Too much barrel was sticking out of the rail when compared with the images of actual fbi/hrt Troy builds. Eta- there is a seller in the ee selling a whole bunch of 14.5" barrels from fbi swap outs, and he stated they replaced their 14.5" with 10.5".

The only 14.5” uppers I’ve seen are 14.5” with 13” Mlok G rails. Prior to G rails (or when they were an HRT only thing) the BU went from A frame /7” quad rail guns to Troy alpha rails. The original plan was to make all GOV issued guns 11.5” with 9” Troy Alpha rails. At the same time they brought back k the POW carbine program after a hiatus of several years. The new POW carbine was a 16” 6920 with an 11” Troy Alpha rails. After a couple years of Alpha rails, they dropped the Troy rails and started building all the GOV guns (both SWAT and general agent) and with the 10” MK4s. What does HRT use - HRT works on fight club rules so your guess is as good as mine. Remember it’s a big organization and nothing goes to waste so could some of the first SWAT teams to get Alpha rail guns gotten guns built with left over 10.5” barrels until the supply was exhausted ? Sure. It’s just like other parts and accessories, The BU recently switched from Troy BUIS to magpul MBUS PROs. At a certain point they stopped buying more Troys and started buying magpul’s but the Troy sights that were in stock were not thrown away etc they were just used to build or rebuild guns until they were exhausted and then they started using the magpuls. |

So technically, if I wanted to be clone correct, I'd need to find a 9" alpha trx extreme rail if I wanted to do a 10.5" barrel build. I have the std alpha battle rail, so an 11.5" barrel is what I would need. |

For the barrel, it depends on whether you’re doing an HRT build or Regional SWAT build, but either way I’d just get on the notification list from Brownells and other distributors. I snagged a Gen1 black rail off the EE and managed to get a virgin 6933 barrel from Midway (At least I think it was Midway). So it’s possible with patience. |

My apologies for the following ignorant questions. I was following this thread in the beginning but have since lost touch with the most current information.
Does DDC indicate HRT? Does anyone have a line on the correct Colt heavy barrel? What are folks using instead of the Colt barrel that has a similar profile? |

For a DDC upper, What muzzle device would be correct? I've seen RC2s so I'm wondering what the default is. Warcomp? SF3P, SF4P? closed tine FH?

Yeah I know they can be pretty rough on the RC2s. Might split the difference and do a closed tine FH if no definitive answer is out there.

Have we gotten any pics of these in use with a can on them? Last info was that they were in T&E wasn't it? Otherwise it seems like all A2 on them.

It's not a question of how rough it is. Warcomps are objectively louder than the same silencer that uses either a SF 3/4-prong FH or brake. Where the latter have a surface for the suppressor to engage with, the Warcomp has ports. SF themselves has apparently indicated that the Warcomps were not designed to be used with their suppressors if the majority of your shooting will be suppressed. |

All the more reason to go FH then. Thanks! |

Received my Colt barrel today and of course have the ddc geissele MK4 rail. This one won't be a true clone or even close to it as I've decided to use a Vltor MUR1A upper...
