Looks like an OD MIAD to me (there’s a seam), though I’ll admit that I may be seeing what I want to see.

It looks like an Ergo to me, but I wish it was a Magpul grip. I do think that there will be a lot a leeway on grips for the FBI regional builds though because they seem to be mostly new replacement uppers on old department lowers.
But I could be way off  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The backstrap doesn’t look like a tango down to me, it appears to curve far up on the lower receiver. None of the TD grips I’m aware of do that. I could be wrong though, very difficult to make out.

On the 22nd. But I also ordered my Federal ODG on the 22nd and it’s still processing. I have an SSA that’s currently bouncing all around the NorthEast with fedex. Says it’ll be here Friday.

I’m sure the federalODG was a huge seller. Not supervised they are delayed. But the ODG MK16 is goregous. Clone be damned. It’s perfect. Wish I could have afforded a second one.

I read somewhere that some older carbines were painted at the department level. Chances are you'll see plenty of variation in lower types and finishes.

Slowly but surely gathering parts.

Still need -
Colt upper receiver
Charging handle (looks like they're using USGI, which in that case I have plenty of)
ODG CTR stock
ODG grip, or Hogue / ERGO grip
Barrel (possibly wait on the prices to drop on these. Not paying 400+)
BUIS

G & R Tactical has the FBI barrels in stock for $330; they were offering a sizeable discount over the weekend, not sure if that still applies or not.

Mine came in today, and it is brand new, in the bag.

It’s definitely darker but green for sure and looks different in different light. Daylight bulb and iPhone but the color is pretty close to real life. FBI rail last pic for contrast.

The mount was designed for a shooter wearing a CBR/gas mask to get a cheek weld and still have a proper sight picture (RE: while wearing a mask).

If you aren't shooting with a mask it will sit high.  Some will argue that a high mount will give a shooter a sight picture sooner from the ready and allow the shooter to engage even before they get a stock to the shoulder.  Doable with a 5.56 for sure.  Personally, I would never run the FBI Mount unless I thought I was doing a DA on a target that had a CBR threat.  So never.

But this being a clone thread most will take more pictures of the clone build than actually shoot/train with it.

Speaking of taking photos instead of shooting (kinda hard without a barrel). Below is a comparison of B5 SOPMOD in OD Green with the G Federal rail. Mine is almost a bright emerald color in natural light. Tried to get a good photo under white LED for a fair comparison.

I figure most will be going the CTR route, just figured I’d throw this in here for comparison. Good luck with the clones, mines looking like a 10.5” 300 blk for suppressed shooting, so won’t be participating much in here.

Weeeell, I have a Rigged Surge on the way, so I was going to pick up an inexpensive Faxon or BA 10.5” 300 blk Barrel and see if I could use a thick shim or shim stack with a flash hider Mount and get it to clear the rail. Below photo is rugged mount on a G 9.5” rail. Looks like I need at least 1/16” inch or greater spacer.

Likely it is.

SWAT Agents have more latitude for changing things like pistol grips so even if the guns come with ERGO grips or Houge grips, they can it swapped out for something else within reason like magpul. The catch is the gun would need to be sent to the Armorers in Quantico for the switch unless they happened to catch one of the mobile Armorer teams at their office.

Generally swat agents can swap for different stocks, optics lights within reason etc though their local Fireams program and team leadership may have a say in that. Point being there is a basic configuration the guns are issued in but for SWAT guns there is variation after that. For example some of the guys around here seem to favor the B5 Bravo stock. It also may depend on what was on hand in the gun vault hand the last time the gun was built / re-built.
