I'm thinking it is not by some pics I have seen recently.... Or am I better off just picking up a 14.5? Also, with the 14.5 I'm thinking of having it pinnied/welded with a SureFire SF3P-556 to meet the length/legal requirements. Does this sound like the way to go or are there better alternatives?

I would continue looking for a Colt SOCOM 14.5" barrel if you want. I searched for awhile 10 years ago for a Colt 14.5" Govt Profile for my retirement build.

Sorry for posting this, as I'm sure it's been asked before and I don't know if this is even the proper place to post it. However, I couldn't find the answer using google or even the ARFCOM search function. Why is the AAC 51T used so much for Block II clones? In the very first page, it does not appear as one of the "proper" muzzle devices yet, I've seen it used extensively. Is it because it resembles the surefire? Thanks and again, sorry! To a cloner, they don't look anything like an SF. It's because they are high performance (as in quiet) cans at a reasonable price and there are some agencies using them so while the KAC and the SF are absolutely SOPMOD clone correct, AACs have been seen in the wild. And, as you stated elsewhere, you're not going to pay $300 for a flash hider.

Thanks. Was curious as it seems there is slight variation in the brightness of white on lettering. Is slight variation in this normal? And it almost looks as if there is a "." In the lot no on the rail.
Also, it appears a hex screw is missing on the backside of the rail where it meets the upper receiver. Should be one on both left and right. Could it have just been left off of install? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Spectre186:
