Im stoked as fuck to get mine, but I must admit im still a little jealous of your FSP.
I have a weird fetish for front sight bases. I'm half tempted to buy a FSP in black and either cerakote it or just rattle can the entire rifle.....not a damn thing in the world wrong with having 1 of each....right?

Got some better pictures of the PR and Block II FSP. I repainted both of them. While the original tan rattle can job looked cool, it didn't blend in with much. Also picked up an ADM mount for the TA01NSN on the Block II, as well as added an M600U on an IWC Dropwing to the PR.
Still sort of undecided on the IWC Dropwing. I'll be getting an ATPIAL-C soon to go with a recently purchased PVS-14, so I really need to see if this light/mount will obstruct the IR Illuminator.

So when buying KAC taupe front sights, watch out and make sure you buy them from a reputable dealer if you want the real deal.
VFC Airsoft KAC Taupe Sights... They run $30.00~45.00 depending the dealer you order from. I think most of us who have been into BLOCK builds for a while would know right away, but this is for you new guys. I did just order a couple of them. I have a CMMG .22LR upper that has a Madbull Airsoft M4-A1 RIS II on it with a Airsoft SU-231a and I wanted one of these to put on it as i did not want to spend $200 on a sight for a .22LR plinker but I knew what I was buying. Just don't want anyone picking one up from a show, fly by night dealer or eBay and paying $200+ for a $30.00 dollar fake!  Below is a reference photo from ColtXM177 from over in the MK18 thread, this is what a proper KAC Taupe front sight should look like.  |

If you don't mind my asking - Are those 14.5" barrel going to be used on M4A1s? M4A1 or Mk 18, whichever the team member turns in to get rebarreled. Those 14.5" will get the correct DD free floated rail as shown and Surefire FH unless they want the KAC FH. Still depends on which suppressor they have on hand. Would you be able to get the date code off of them? Where did it come from? I see the blue barrel bags there, is that an 04/14 date code I'm seeing? I'll check the dates on the barrels tomorrow. Barrels are Colt that came from Crane. You are seeing the date that Crane took off the FSB and sealed them. Are you rebuilding many 14.5" URGs? No, mainly 10.3s, again its dependent on what the shooter wants. In Afghanistan all I did was 10.3". Here in Kuwait did few 14.5" Are they all using government profile barrels instead of HBs? The standard barrel is still the SOCOM HB for M4A1s with FSB. However have limited standard 14.5 without FSB. Groups just rotated so might see a different preference ~Augee Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Augee:

Did install a few of them while in Astan (SSF) and had a few SSA triggers also for either the Mk11 or Mk12 but they just sat there as no one wanted them

<snip> CD Thanks for the input, it's interesting that the stripped and dimpled 14.5" barrels that are coming from Crane are government profile - to clarify, do you get any stripped 14.5" HBs from Crane? Or all government profiles? What about for M4A1s being built with the RIS II FSP? I while back, I got an arrangement drawing from NSWC-Crane that showed the 14.5" URG with a government profile barrel pictured, but it was unclear whether that was accurate to the actual configuration being used, or whether it was just a general arrangement drawing and not necessarily reflective of the actual configuration. Another thing that came with it was a photograph of a RIS II equipped 14.5" URG with a black KAC front sight, FWIW. It would be pretty interesting if "big Army" was going to "SOCOM" profile barrels at the same time that SOCOM was going back to government profile barrels.
Care to speculate on why 14.5" barrels are coming in government profile, by any chance, instead of the HB? P.S. I'd love to spend an hour just looking at your paperwork.
Also - does anyone happen to know if the EOTech MRDS hood will fit a Docter? ~Augee |

All the 14.5" stripped and dimpled bbls govt profile came from Crane for the RIS II What about for M4A1s being built with the RIS II FSP? Those would use the existing barrel on the M4A1 either standard profile or SOCOM unless barrel fails gauge. Then it would depend on what barrels are on hand.

Believe the front sights I have here to issue are KAC also.

Just picked up a RIS II FSP in black for 250. Didn't really plan on it but it seemed like an okay deal so I bought it. Guess it's paint time.

Otherwise the serial will be a random generated number based on the serials pictured. I'm not going to take any money until they are printed and in my hands. I'm looking to wrap up everything and send the list off to the printer this weekend, so don't hesitate. I will be keeping around 30 extra labels for future buyers but this is the only chance to get your own serial number. Wait - just to make clear - and since a lot of folks might be getting them - Are you going to be doing the Colt CAGE (13629) and the ANAD CAGE (75117) - or are you going to be doing the ANAD CAGE and the TACOM CAGE (19207) as shown in your pictures? I don't know that I've ever seen the Colt CAGE documented on a rectangular IUID, though they've been on every square IUID I've seen.
I don't know if everything's done and set by now, but I think for rectangular tags, I'd prefer a mix of ANAD and TACOM tags, rather than Colt ones, but I'll take whatever.

The most correct would be the contract overrun triggers, but they are out of stock http://geissele.com/super-select-fire-contract-overrun.html I had missed the black Friday sale he did when it was $250, maybe someone should get a GB going for them

~Augee Correct, I am doing Colt CAGE (13629) and the ANAD CAGE (75117) I am not doing the TACOM CAGE (19207) I swore I have seen the Colt on rectangular labels but now you have me doubting myself, I'll have to see if I can find a picture of it. Given how many people are now "in" there is enough to potentially do all three; Colt square, ANAD / TACOM rectangles. Let me do some more research and see what I can do. |

Would you be able to get the date code off of them? Where did it come from? I see the blue barrel bags there, is that an 04/14 date code I'm seeing? I'll check the dates on the barrels tomorrow. Barrels are Colt that came from Crane. You are seeing the date that Crane took off the FSB and sealed them. Checked the 10.3" barrels and those in the bag dated 04/14 are dates cut down and sealed. Dates on bbls are 12/11. Colt 14.5" are dated about the same. CD |

Quick question about the CQD sling mounts.
So as far as the rear one goes, I'm running a tear drop FA. Will this clear the right side OK? Secondly, will the rear one work OK with the Magpul MS-3 sling? I know the wrong one will, don't know much about the rear one, never had one. |

It will clear a teardrop FA, and a MS3 will hook into it, but the movement is very limited. I ended switching to a sling with HK hooks. |

Anyone else having issues with the Image Code while trying to send an IM? I'm trying to place an order for some IUD's through ASMIG but it won't recognize the image code no matter how I try.
ETA: DISREGARD, got through on the desktop. |
