Any pics of the Block II wearing a AP micro and 3x mag? I'm thinking about going this route for my optics.
Thanks! |

Quote HistoryI think I recognize that symbol, from being at FOB Lane/De Afghan in 2006/2007. I couldn't remember however if it was from the group that was presently there, or the one prior. Is that symbol from either 7th or 3rd group? |

This image goes with the set above but the rail is certainly different. I don't think it's the troy alpha could it be something new from DD?

Alright, looking for some insight here.
I just started gathering the parts to piece together myself an unpinned 14.5" upper. I'm going to be "marrying" it to my Form 1ed CQBR lower and they will stay together as a "SOPMOD kit" of sorts. So, for the people who own the FSP and standard M4A1 RIS II, which one do you prefer and why? I had a 14.5" upper a couple years ago with the standard RIS II and my main complaint was the weight, but I think those are relatively similar between both rails. This upper will most likely start off housing my Elcan and my CQBR will sport the 553 I have, but that may change further down the road and I might step up to a 1-6x or 1-8x for the 14.5". |

I don't have an RIS II FSP, but I use a couple of other rifles that use rails that are very similar. Here's what I like about those: 1. The front sight post is solid and always present in my field of view during use. 2. There is additional room for my freakishly long arms to obtain leverage over the front of the gun. |

My RIS PR weighs in at 9lbs with a SU- 231 and M96 light. My BLKII weighs in at 11lbs with the SU- 235 with G-33 3xmag, dbal and inforce light. Both weights are in a loaded config. and sport the SOCOM II Heavy Barrels.
My FSB BLKII is just under 11lbs. 10.75. . Weight reduces felt impulse. Hope that helps.

I don't own a standard RIS II, but I do have the FSP version and I've also had a couple 12" railed rifles with folding sights in the past. My Block II is my 4th rifle I've owned with an FSP rail. First was an Omega X, then 2 MI extended carbines, and finally I broke down and just got the RIS II FSP. The other 3 rifles are now sold. The reason I prefer the FSP rail is that I don't have to spend money on expensive sights, it's always ready to use, they are extremely durable, and I just prefer the looks of them to be honest. I've gone through a bunch of setups over the years, but for me a good 16" M4 carbine rifle with a fixed front sight post is my ideal setup.

First post on the thread! I'm so excited to start this build, but I have a quick question: Would the BCM A2X be acceptable? I dunno if I wanna shell out the sheckels to buy a KAC flash hider/suppressor mount and then have it sent to adco to be pinned, or if I could just go ahead and order the upper straight from BCM with an A2X. Thoughts?

I already asked them if they could pin a KAC QD on there for me, but they said that they'll only pin on what they have in their stupid drop down menu :( They know people are buying those uppers to build block II clones, so why not put the option of pinning on clone correct flash hiders? I know they sell both the SF3P and the KAC QD.

Got the BCM upper in w/t DD RIS II in FDE. Now I'm waiting on a few more parts to come in before I put it together....I was surprised at the weight, not at all that piggish. I'm sure after the KAC BUIS,SF light, TD FVG and optics get thrown on, it may be a different story.
Still hunting down a lower for it so, I may throw it on my Block I lower just to run it until I do. |

Well gents several parts all came in this last week so here is the group shot. (LMT ambi lower & Optic)
There are a few changes to be made i.e. the pistol grip... not sure if I will use the A2 or an Umbrella Corp grip I have which is not clone correct but nice. I am also trying out the AFG but will be TD VFG in the near future. Now to get one of those high speed pelican cases... thinking a 1600 but open to suggestions. Cheers - all thanks to those who have directly helped and those that posted so much info in this monster thread.

You would have to put the upper in like this with the 1600:
While I like the 1600, it has a lot of unused depth to the case. If it was half of that, I would really really enjoy it. |
