Very good dealer. |

Well turns out the 13.2” Larue quad I got was a fake. Sent it back to the seller and got a refund. Larue said it’s a 2 month back order. I have a 20” 1-7.7 twist Krieger on the way so now I gotta figure out what I want to do with it. It’ll be cut down so that it sits flush with an AEM5, but what handguard should I go with? I have a URX 3.1 and a 15” MK4. Kinda leaning MK4 and cutting the rail for a PRI or Wilson flip up front sight.

They have a policy against counterfeit items so once I found out, the guy returned the money and took it back. Got the Krueger off there too. |

Scored a Ballistic advantage 11.5” for $85 from Primary Arms, so I finally built up the URX II that’s been sitting in the parts pin. Had to drill through the rivets for the heat guard cause I’m gonna be pinning the G block. But here she is. Thinking either a ta31 or Comp M2 for this one. After the form 1 suppressor I’ll be going for a Form 1 lower.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cdholmes: Alright, I've resisted long enough. What's the deal with these Gordon clones? What barrel are you guys going with to be profiled, and is it an A1 lower? Correct lower is “M16 A2 Carbine”. Correct barrel is typically an A1 pencil profile at 14.5 as the old AEM suppressor could be ran with a 14.5 (See early versions of Colt 723/727 rifles). Nowadays you can get away with a 12.5 govt. or M4 barrel as that will flush fit the AEM5. Gordon carbines and OGS rifles are just awesome, simple rifles with everything you need. It’s a testament to a bunch of badass guys throwing together a combination of the rifles that were available to them along with the new technology of that time period. |
