I know there's a lot of newer and "better" plate carriers, but the JPC is still my current fave. My AVS has been worn maybe twice? For as wimpy as the JPC looks, they seem to be essentially indestructible...I have yet to run across someone who has damaged one through hard ab/use. |

Which flashlight/pressure switch/mount would be appropriate for an early clone with KAC RAS?
I'm building out a Colt 6920 into a quasi M4 clone for a bedside rifle. |

I'm new to clone rifles and don't know shit, but I thought the chart on the first page of this thread said that early ones used the RAS, which was phased out? I have the KAC rail incoming (bought from EE), SOPMOD stock, MaTech rear BUIS, A2 pistol grip... wrong barrel length and muzzle device, undecided on optic as of yet. If the KAC rail is wrong, that's fine, I just thought (from reading this thread) that early models used it. |

If you want to match the FDE to Magpul FDE then get some Brownells Aluma Hyde II in FDE. Its not exact, but real close. Another option would be to tape off around silver ring and paint the ring a contrasting color like black or brown. It might look good...it might not. Either way it is just paint and will come off.

Going to be putting a new Barrel on my FSP Block 2 (old is a 16" stag arms 1/9 with an a2 cage new is a colt socom 14.5 with a griffin armament brake) does anybody perhaps have a easy solution on how to install the rail? The first time I installed it i damn near went crazy. Could not find any tutorials except for non fsp, it took me 4 tries to finally get it right. First time i slapped on the FSP first.....bad move. The rest were me trying to install it like a regular ris ii and ending badly, so much so that the bottom of the FSP is all scratched up from repeated blows from a punch. I finally kinda ghetto rigged it by sliding the top piece and the FSP all together and securing the top piece and then the FSP while the top was on it was such a huge pain. I'm stoked about my new barrel but I'm dreading putting it on.

Install the taper pins with a block under the FSB and end of the barrel. Lastly, install the bolt up screws. You can put painter's tape on the barrel to prevent scratches. |

damn so i did install it right!!! It just seemed super awkward doing it like that and i figured there was an easier and more proper way to do it....Oh wells looks like theirs no way of avoiding that headache.

One of the big differences between the military and civilian shooters is that the military typically operates in a team: I don't need any magnification because it's someone else's job to provide the long(er) range fires...if any. In reality, "the long shot" is not that common: RoE and such. Maybe in the next conflict(s). Short dots are seen here and there; I say OK. |

You could do a visible light, or visible bright light. You could go with pretty much any Surefire M951/952 type light or the Insight M3 or WMX200 if you like the big blob hanging off the side. Personally I'd like to see more clones with a visible light, very retro cool.
