Looks like the F on the Brass/Alum enterprises upper is an inny, and the F on the Anchor Harvey forging is an outtie

Looking into building a block 1/1.5 ish clone of a m4 and a mk18. Wanting to use a m9xx series light. Tempted to get a m952v for using with my nv, but as with most V lights the white light is very weak. Are any of the non V lights bright or upgradeable to say a malkoff drop in? I dont know anything about these lights, I am used to the 300 and 600 scout lights. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

Seems if I buy a m952 and stick a 16650 and an aftermarket p60 drop in thats the best Im going to get.

I'm getting ready to do a simple block 1 clone using a colt socom upper, but I am gonna sacrifice accuracy to go with a surefire muzzle device for sharing a suppressor with my other rifles.
Are there any block 1's that got 4 prongs put on them? If not I was thinking of just going with a closed tine warcomp to have a little bit of an A2 look if you are far away and maybe it's foggy out..

Yes on Tangodown. And yes most in use are FDE to match the block 2 accessories. (Remember 1.5 = block 1 base rifle, with Block 2 accessories) I.E. - gripss, optic, weaponlight, LAM, sling mounts etc |

Here’s some more anecdotal evidence on how awesome the Colt M4A1 SOCOM profile barrels are. Sighted in my TA01-NSN at 100 yards today. The two 3 shot groups, left center then center, are standard Federal XM855. I then fired 3 rounds of M855A1 to compare point of impact vs standard green tip. It shot high, not surprising since it’s supposed to be hotter. No chrono today. Keep in mind I was just shooting off a bench with my bag as a rest, not going for groups, just sighting in. Still, 3 shots close to an inch ain’t bad for what it is and my skill set (which isn’t shit). Made me happy anyway.
Gun has a G2S trigger.
