Still planning to pull the barrel off the Mod 2 Carbine and send it off to Marvin for dimpling, just haven't forced myself to do it yet. I'm not looking forward to being without it for a couple months since I'm having so much fun with it now.
Here she is in desperate need of a cleaning after four months of ownership and 3500 rounds down the tube.

 Attached File Attached File Attached FileI had the light mounted further back, but the rearward facing ports on the MAMS covered the lens in carbon even worse, so I moved it forward one slot and it's actually better now that the front of the light is pushed out past some of those ports. As you can see, it gets the end of the rail pretty good, too. A little bit of Hoppe's on a rag makes the lens look new again after each outing. No biggie. |

Originally Posted By Cartel-: Thank you! His barrel work is a work of art. It'll be worth the wait. What is your method for removing the carbon build up on the light + rail? As far as the rail, I'll probably use the Hoppe's that I use on the light lens because the carbon sticks to the rail's textured anodizing more than it does the smooth anodizing of the light body. It shouldn't hurt the rail's anodizing and it pulls the baked on carbon right off the lens, so it should do the same on the rail. I haven't tried yet, though, so we'll see. Aside from the light lens, nothing on the gun has been cleaned in the four months/3500+ rounds I've put through it. I'll clean it up good when I finally decide to pull the barrel and send it off to Marvin.

If they are impregnated with an abrasive, my only concern would be whether or not it would scratch the lens. I scratched the hell out of one of mine before and had to use a Dremel with a polishing wheel and glass polishing compound to remove the scratches. Surefire's glass lenses seem to be excellent at impact resistance, but they must also be somewhat soft because what I was using to clean it was not very coarse and it scratched easily, which surprised me. |

Yes they have a blue abrasive webbing woven into the fabric of the wipe. Works like the gritty toothpaste mentioned earlier. Both my scout light and x300ub get pretty dirty after a while and these scrubs clean them off pretty quick. Never had an issue with scratches. |

So I've been tossing around the idea of swapping out my 3.1 for the URX 4 in MLOK. How much of a difference in diameter is there and how much of a pain is it to remove the 3.1?

So I've been tossing around the idea of swapping out my 3.1 for the URX 4 in MLOK. How much of a difference in diameter is there and how much of a pain is it to remove the 3.1? OG pic when I first picked this up. http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh512/davidj316ek/20180621_075748_zpszysvsutc.jpg |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Outrider: You need a URX barrel nut wrench and ideally a set of picatinny jaws to hold the upper in place. Loctite is often used on the barrel nut so a heat gun/torch also helps. It's a decent investment for the tools if you don't have them so you may want to consider sending it off to somebody for the work to be done. IMO I like the 3.1 over the URX 4 anyway. I have decided since I have to tools to use this rail whenever I can justify the cost

You'll also need a vice and upper vice blocks or pic jaws as Outrider mentioned. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 871JZ: Damn, they did a great job cleaning it up! Although the URX3.1 an excellent handguard, and is also aesthetically more pleasing, I prefer the URX4 MLOK during actual use. It's a tiny bit lighter, but more importantly, it has a more ergonomic profile, IMO. I think you'll be happy with the swap if you do it, but I would keep the 3.1 just in case. You may not like the URX4 or you may want to install the 3.1 on another upper.
