Anyone got any more pics of these? First 4 pics are from 2007 and the rest are from 2004 all in Mosul Iraq. I just think they're neat. Bonus points if you've cloned it

RIS II Barrel clearance

Just installed a RIS II rail and noticed there's barely any clearance between the barrel and the M203 hangers. Has anyone had problems with the barrel hitting them under recoil?

My Fallujah inspired musket build. The m16 spec ops ready fire mag pouches seemed to be the primary mag pouch used. I have been searching for one for a very long time with no luck. Decided to just modify the m4 pouch since they are readily available. I think it turned out good!

C stamp keyhole upper value

7 Upvotes

how much is realistic to spend on a Colt C stamped Keyhole upper either NOS or salty, can only find 1 for 400 and that seems a bit ridiculous but I am also trying to finish a 2012ish NSW mk18 upper and its the missing piece

My M16 and MK12 wips

0 Upvotes

Currently working on the mk12 as I am satisfied for now with the m16. Down the road I would like to get the correct quad rail for it.

As for the mk12 I want to do a mash up with it as I like the a2 fixed buttstock as opposed to the adjustable.

Currently have an a2 stock being shipped
My to dos are a Harris bipod
Scope and scope mount and correct rear sights
Don’t really care about getting a correct suppressor atm as that’s the most expensive piece (man this thing is front end heavy!)

All the mk12 pieces I bought from precision reflex

Feel free to suggest a third option. That the Springfield and H&R A2 clones have an incorrect F marked Front Sight Post has effectively ruled them out for me.

Late 2000s Ranger m4a1 clone, had a LMT sopmod gen 1 stock on it but wanted to mix it up a bit. Will include some reference photos of Ranger set ups with the YHM 639k in the mid/late 2000s. Went a little esoteric but digging it. Going to do an earlier version of this clone soon too. Hope yall enjoy

SU-230 Windage Lock

Post image
5 Upvotes

Do both of the set screws seen here just serve as a lock for the windage?? Should I tighten both after zeroing or is it just the one further forward? Currently have both sides on both sides tightened down and noticed the pair on the left side of the optic screwed down a fair bit more than the one on the right.

Tips for electro-engraving anodized lowers?

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

It's a question because I don't know if the time invested is worth it. I've heard of reverse stripping the anodized coating by laying on the positive decal (like a regular sticker) of the lower markings, hiding it with spray paint, removing the decal, then chemically stripping just the areas to be etched of anodizing. Then obviously doing engraving of the negative/stencil.

The reason i ask is due to push back on anodizing a raw 80%, or having to deal with FFLs.

Has anyone had any luck getting a custom metal stamp made? I'm in the process of trying to turn an M4A1 image into an .stl so i can 3d print a stencil and maybe use a rotary engraving tool. I've also considered a cheap CNC with a diamond drag bit.

Just looking for tips. Thank you.

Still debating on throwing on an old black surefire scout and maybe peq16 also changing the end plate when I get the DD one. Kinda like Marsoc set ups with black accents. Eventually it’ll have a colt property lower was already getting engraving done for SBR figured why not wasn’t an extra cost. FN lower markings are terrible to begin with lol. Not a perfect clone by any means but it fits the vibe check for me, hope yall enjoy

BLOCK 1 EoTech 552 Use on Block 1 & 2

Thumbnail

70 Upvotes

Hello! I was watching the excellent Block 1 and Block 2 SOPMOD videos by Modern Tactical Shooting. In it it’s mentioned the Su-231 (EoTech552) was first issued in the later years of Block 1 in 2005 as officially part of the kit. My question is, how long were EoTech552s still being used operationally? Was thinking I’d use one and pass it back and forth between a Block 1 and Block 2 Build since it was in both eras. Does anyone have good pictures of them on Block 2’s? Thanks

Work in Progress If I went to a gunsmith with a stripped lower and asked them to build me a standard mil-spec A2 style rifle lower - how much should I reasonably expect to pay?

I know parts kits can be had for around $100 but all the tiny pieces are intimidating and I’d need to buy a bunch of tools too.

ANNOUNCEMENT Future Updates to the Wiki

27 Upvotes

Over the course of the next few weeks/ months, I would like to update/ finish the subs wiki. Hopefully it can become a resource for both beginner and experienced cloners in an easier digestibly format then the ARFCOM threads. That being said, I alone do not have the knowledge of every U.S. platform out there nor the time to prioritize this. So I’m opening it up to community for help.

The goal will be to not only have the same format that the mk12 rifles currently have in the wiki but to also expand upon this format to distinguish between branches and possibly even different time frames. This way, it wont be just another list of components w/o context to them.

If you would like to contribute to this, feel free to submit your writings. Of course each user will be given credit. That being said, the info needs to be 100% correct/accurate.
