Anyone have an idea what optics and accessories have been chosen. I hope NF wins the contract for the squad LPV, i want me a ATACR 1-8 on a clone build.

I can't and won't tell you my source but I can tell you this source is solid.

I was told essentially it will be a lot of the SOPMOD Block 2 accessories to begin with (LA-5, Elcan etc) BUT- with 1-6 and/or 1-8 powered variables. That's all I was able to squeeze out at this current time.

As things progress I'm sure we will see even more accessory changes over time. Just like with any other evolution, URG, or package

I'm assuming they went back to gov't profile because of the longer mid-length gas? A SOCOM profiled mid-length would be heavy as shit. I still think that gov't is a shit profile. Like we were discussing in the Block II thread, a constant taper would be much better than gov't.

I agree. If they like the Geissele rail and charging handle they could have went with a BCM EMW 14.5".

From the best I can tell, Geissele is providing their Mk16 rail and a version of their Air ambi ch.  There is a slight variation to what is provided the Army, from what they sell.  The Brownells version, is... just that.

Daniel Defense is providing the 14.5" Gov't profile barrel and their Mk12 gas block.  Barrel is standard Cr-Moly CHF Chrome lined.

DD told me that G is sending the parts, and DD is assembling, and DD is attaching the Surefire flash hider.  Originally, it was the three-prong WarComp, but field testing got too much garbage in the holes, so they went with a pure tine SOCOM flash hider.  To be fair, I go conflicting reports as whether it is the 3-prong, the old 4-prong, or the new 4-prong.  I did not hear that it was a middy.  I assumed it was a carbine barrel.  I have read enough external sources in the last four hours to assume that the middy is correct.  I have the engineering contacts at both firms, and can confirm, as well as with SF.

The Mk16 DD rail is very solid, and the award, I am told, is based (partially) on how the Mk16 connects to the upper receiver, with flanges that keep it from rotating.

I found the barrel choice interesting.  Interesting in two ways.  One, I would not have ever called a DD barrel for a DOD contract.  Why not Colt?  Next, it was Govt profile, and not SOCOM profile.  Thirdly, if it is a middy, that is a first.

The receiver and BCG are 100% Colt.  I am told that armourers at Fr. Bragg, Ft. Benning, etc., will determine whether to replace existing uppers or add new uppers and BCG.  Clearly, the upper shown with Brownells is not US Army.  It is a forge mark from Precision Forging, or something like that.  I know someone will correct me.  I think they are in CA, and also Sig uses them, if I remember.

No word on lowers, as they are "as is" from what I am told.  I would suspect that means SOPMOD stock, but that is my assumption.

Hope that helps.

Then lastly, timing the Surefire 4-Prong for the individual Operator, left or right handed?

I time all pronged devices with the logo at top dead center and the index lug at 6:00. It's not like a Warcomp where timing it any other way would make a difference.

They could have even custom ordered a profile. I'm not a fan of the BCMs because I don't like fluting and prefer a shoulder for the gas block but I like the idea of them. Even if they wanted the barrel to be at 1 lb 8 oz they could have taken the extra material at the end of the barrel and behind the gas block on the "Govt" barrel and moved it rearward. We were cursed with the adoption of the M16A2 barrel.

Totally agree. Having that additional material past the gas block is a waste. Took a step backwards with this one.

The USASOC URG-Is, 18K in number (over time), have DD MK12 gas blocks, set screwed only. Partially assembled at DD, shipped to Crane for inventory, sent to Bragg etc. for assembly.

The Geissele complete URG-Is will have G gas blocks, drilled and pinned, and have a self alignment feature.

The 10.3” variant will be out there soon.

No URG-Is in the wild yet from the USASOC side. There’s a few out there in select hands at this moment and running great.

So the partially assembled kits are being supplied to the Army as well as complete uppers?

I guess it will be this one? Technically with the Block II URGs they are both for use on M4A1 LRGs but come in 10.3" and 14.5" versions. There is no CQBR or anything like that. I would assume the URG-I will be the same way.

Great info. Thanks! So freaking frustrating they can't just supply the clone upper just as it will be assembled for mil use though with all the right parts assembled the same way. I know the pinned G gb is better and tougher, but the cut for the pin just adds salt to the wound for those that want a properly speced clone. Bill, pls fix. :(

What's the "self-alignment feature" of the Geissele gas blocks? A dimpled barrel that the set screws will tension against on top of being pinned in place?

So I guess it's safe to assume that the rail will clear the MK12 gas block.  The RIS II has a cut out for it and i know a lot of rails will touch it on the inside.

You mean the MK16? They're being used together on these uppers and I highly doubt the rails or blocks are being modified for additional clearance, so I'd say it's safe to assume they're compatible.

I was planning on building a MK20/SSR is FN actually released it this year but that isn't happening. So the URGI will be my next project. I already have a complete Colt lower ready to go.

Also interested in the 10.3 variant as I already have a second CQBR that I switched over to a MK8 rail.

Haha, I want to run a LPVO on the URGI so that will disqualify it for a duty weapon.

My MK17 clone is my favorite. You need one.

My duty rifle is the most balanced SBR I have shot to date. I was running a Warcomp neutrally timed but I swapped it out for a CT for noise reasons. Can’t run the can on duty. I briefly switched to a EXPS3 but after a few times of picking the rifle up and having to mess with buttons I went back to the T1.

@AZJBT

What's the noise difference between the open and closed tine Warcomp's that would make you switch from one to the other? I have an open tine, but no closed tine. I do have an SFCT556, which is basically a closed tine Warcomp without the top venting ports. I never noticed it being any quieter than my open tine Warcomp, but haven't done any back to back comparisons.

I should have clarified I’m now running a closed tine flash hider (non warcomp version). As the shooter I can’t really tell the difference as far as noise. The warcomp definitely mitigates muzzle rise with a noticeable difference. The biggest issue I was having is when shooting with a team indoors. It’s not nearly as bad as traditional brakes/comps but still impacted others around me. Unfortunately on the street we’re not always afforded the luxury of eat pro.

There shouldn't be any Mk18 Mod 2 with URG-I components at the moment.  URG-I is a USASOC, which is a ARMY command that is purchasing these weapon parts, not NSW which is a Naval command and puts out the Navy the Mk18 program.  Also gets confusing when Geissele calls the URG-I forearm a Mk16 in their naming system.  Nomenclature should be M4A1 URG-I 10.3"/14.5".

Right now as stated above the URG-I 10.3" is in the works but nothing diffident yet.

Thanks, man. Good info. Agree on the naming issue.

I'm surprised they stayed with 10.3" on the barrel considering they went mid length on the 14.5".

What does the fact that they went with a midlength 14.5" over a carbine 14.5" have to do with choosing a 10.3" barrel? What barrel length did you think would go with for a shorter upper?

Is the issued URG-I rail FDE?

I've been seeing photos and discussions stating that the issue rail is black?

I am contemplating buying the upper to break it down and use the right parts. Atleast the MK12 gas block. Will the upper receivers be Colt flat tops or are they sourced elsewhere?

The issued URG-Is will have DDC rails and USGI M4/M4A1 upper receivers.

The Geissele/Brownell's URG-Is will have commercial M4 upper receivers.

I inquired what size the gas port was on this barrel. Here is the reply I received later that day.  ETA: OOS now.


Good morning,We appreciate the inquiry.  The gas port is .0785".  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Above is a Geissele marketing pic from Instagram.

I gave in and ordered the presale upper at Brownells and I'm working on a new 6920 for the lower.

This will be carried on duty and I'm not super concerned about being 100% clone accurate.  What buffer system would be best for the gun?  Vltor A5? Geissele Super 42?

Since it's not a clone, I'd recommend a Vltor A5 7 position receiver extension with the heaviest buffer you can use and a Colt action spring. Then a stock like the Magpul SL or SL-S which will collapse all the way on the longer receiver extension.

You can stick with the stuff the 6920 comes with or swap to an H2 if you want to save money.

As far as I know, lower will remain the same.  Same stocks, buffer and springs as a Blk II.  Everything is speculation right now until the kits get issued and I start building guns.

In an Instagram post from earlier today, Geissele mentioned (in the comments) that they will be offering a non-pinned complete upper.

Definitely the best option for those looking add MK12 gas block/SF4P.
