The proper BLOCK II model is the FH-556-RC, the one shown below. That said someone here reported that a rep at Surefire has said they have discontinued the FH-556-RC to even the military and now all of the contract flash hiders will be the 3-prong version because it's a superior unit over the 4-prong.

Is it typical or necessary for cloners to pin the gas block? I'll be using the DD MK12. Is this done on issued rifles?
I can also shave the FSB, but I guess it would not be clone correct and once I pin the m/d I'm stuck with the shaved fsb... thanks |

It would work, but I think you'd be disappointed since you would not getting the full package of what the Elcan you'd be imitating gives you. For a fixed 4x with a piggy-backed red dot, it seems you'd be better served by an ACOG, which gives the same performance for around the same money, and your clone chops will be solid. Just my $.02 |

I agree....212a  That MB556k just doesn't look right on a block 1.

I am happy with ADCO's work but I would save around $55. Each FSB is married to that particular barrel. You usually can't just swap a different FSB onto a different barrel and have it line up perfectly. But, the tolerances on low-pro gas blocks are such that they can be a few mm forward or back and still be just fine. The hole in the gas block is a bit bigger than the hole in the barrel, so it doesn't have to be perfectly aligned. The issued Block IIs (and Mk12 Mod 1s for that matter) have the gas block with set screws and they are not pinned. |

Clone or not, I pin all my gas blocks for peace of mind. I've seen set screw gas blocks back off. Typically thread locker on the screws SHOULD be enough to prevent this, but 2 minutes with a drill and reamer and the problem is solved anyway.
Knowing my rifle won't fail due to a loosening gas block is worth a few people ridiculing me on the internet for not making my rifle look exactly like they saw in a photo of one on the internet.

Well I should have a pic tomorrow or Thursday (waiting for new stock to arrive). I think it will fit in quite nicely , other than CQD mounts, and a VFG, I am done.

Just a suggestion, it appears by your sling setup you're a right handed shooter. You can easily take apart the locking lever on your Tango down vertical grip to move that lever to the other side. Just watch those little Springs when you take it apart so you don't lose them :) might feel more comfortable when shooting depending on how you use the grip. |

All he needs to do is flip his TD QD VFG around and the problem would be solved. ETA - I'm a rightie as well. Pic:

~Augee I agree, for what you get, a normal 870 is cheaper. Indiana has this wierd obsession with outlawing SBS's, but AOW's are legal. The claim is that an SBS is easier to conceal, but IMO a pistol grip short barrel shotgun (AOW) would be /shrug. |

I've had some I bought used that came in the other orientation that I've had to flip around. possibly a lefty who previously owned them. Good catch! |

Well the stock showed up today...heres the iPotato pics:
This build has changed several times in the past year or so, many parts were bought, installed, replaced, etc. I know there is a few things that aren't really clone correct, but I like them enough that I decided I was going to go the route I did (ex: magpul trigger guard, kns pins, spikes buffer tube kit, WMD NiBx Bolt and Hammer, BCM Gunfighter Mod 4 charging handle) I think it still fits in nicely with this thread. Still waiting to pick up a few items such as a weapon light, tango down VFG or magpul AFG, CQD front and rear sling mounts, and a BFG Sling, different muzzle device, and maybe a Magnifier for the Eotech. But one of the parts I am still looking at getting is the QR Code sticker for the magwell. Cant wait to get out and break in the BCM SOCOM barrel soon!! |

Hasn't bugged me yet but I'm going to a 1 day carbine class this Sunday so if there's any issues I'll be finding out. This is why we train
