So you want the new “Block III” upper, but not all the parts that come on the new “Block III” upper?

Are we sure all of the parts are clone correct at this point?  At least the muzzle device isn't.

That was the only part Geissele said that didn’t sound right, but 3 prongs have long been accepted. If the flash hider is a deal breaker, buy the stripped upper, then you’re only missing a USGI BCG and the low key ACH (if the low key version is the one that ships with the upper.)

Very true, but Geissele hasn’t ever really been cheap in the first place and you know you’re getting your money’s worth.

And it appears to have the Warcomp instead of the 3-prong.

I could build the upper myself for much less. Hopefully, Geissele will eventually release the rails as a standalone item. If not, I'm sure some will pop up in the EE for retarded prices after guys buy the complete uppers and pull them apart.

ETA: Bill G said it's a midlength DD barrel, but didn't mention the profile. Anyone have any details? I'm assuming it's just a Gov't profile barrel, which would make these extremely easy to build yourself once you have the rail, as the rest of the parts are easily accessible, as long as there's nothing special about the barrel.

The only difference in the handle is that it's marked differently. No large white laser engraving on the top. I think he mentioned a small, subdued marking on the rear.

Ok guys my colt 14.5" barrel came in today. The fsb is rough, and I mean rough. I've never seen a finish like this one has. And it's not "f" marked. Also there's a nick in the barrel itself, its cosmetic but still. Is colt shipping these without F marked FSBs now? Would you keep this or send it back?  Sorry if this shouldn't be asked here but you guys have been helpful so far in my block ii build and value your advice.

I would at least try to get it exchanged, not sure how they will react tho.

Since FSP I would attempt to get it exchanged for sure. I heard Colt has been (or was?) putting out F height FSB's that aren't physically marked F on their more recent A4's. I'm not sure if you got one of those or some other hunk of junk they found laying in some storage bin somewhere. But I would definitely be disappointed with that one.

From what's being said on TOS, the upper is in the same configuration as supplied to USASOC. Warcomp included.

So for you guys using an M4 profile barrel and either the surefire or kac can, is the POI shift that bad vs using a SOCOM barrel or marginal? I still have no idea which barrel to use or can, and I have both cans in jail

I almost want to switch it up a little and throw my kac can on my non fsb block 2, but golly with a SOCOM barrel that will be one heavy bitch. Though if I'm thinking right, the fsb build I have with a SOCOM barrel SHOULD be about the same with the surefire can on it.

Honesty if it was me, as long as it's not canted and works as it should, I'd run it. Their QC sucks even more than it did, but if it's functional that's what counts. But at the same time, I totally understand the perfection side as well

"Neutral Timed Warcomp"

The open tined Warcomps were designed for a right hand shooter.  Does this mean there is a new Warcomp with "neutral timed" ports, or are they installing these with the comp ports facing up, evenly, meaning the index tab for the suppressor mount is no longer at 6 o'clock?

It looks like shit, but truthfully, I'd probably jist keep it since the retailer won't just exchange it for you. Dealing with Colt directly will be a hassle and a long wait. Not worth it, IMO.

Because he paid for this barrel assembly, he wasn't issued it. I see your point and basically agree with it, but still nobody likes paying for something and receiving a part that looks like it should've been thrown in the reject bin. It sucks and he's got a right to be pissed if he wants.

@tonyxcom

The Warcomp can be timed however you want. If you want neutral timing, but also want the index lug to remain at 6:00, then look at the Closed Tine Warcomp. Just remember it isn't Block III/URGI correct.

ETA: I don't know how they're timing them when the complete uppers are assembled, but I would assume neutral for right or left handed shooters.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Geissele sold these with 3 prongs installed instead of Warcomp's, just like they showed in the live stream. This way they wouldn't have to worry about how to time the devices before pinning and welding them. If they pin/weld Warcomps with the index lug at 6:00, lefties will bitch since it'll be set up for righties. If they time them neutral, righties will bitch because the index lug is off center. A 3 prong would eliminate this issue and work for all shooters.

Understood, I have both the open and closed tine Warcomps myself.

I was just trying to determine if Surefire produced a new opened tined one that was neutral.

We can see clearly here in the Brownells picture that the the index lug is off kilter.

No, as far as I know, Surefire does not offer a neutral open tine Warcomp. And thanks for the pic. Maybe that answers my question from above. If the pic is reliable, then we can expect Warcomps that are neutral timed, which means they'll appear off center/crooked. No big deal to me, as I can remove the device, time it the way I want, then repin/weld it.

I think they should either have different part numbers for uppers with devices timed either for righties, lefties, or neutral, or just offer an option to buy the upper without it pinned, then let the buyer time it and, if they need to, pin/weld it. Seems they should offer one that isn't pinned, anyway, for guys with SBR lowers.

I agree. Looks like shit. Need to offer it unpinned and let buyers take care of it themselves.

Does Surefire recommend it timed at 6:00? I've always understood it can be timed however you want, depending on if your right or left handed, and if you can deal with the canted index lug.

If I was a lefty, I probably wouldn't buy a Warcomp because it's set-up for righties and it looks stupid timed for lefties. If it was specifically for a clone build like these uppers are, and I wanted to stay 100% correct, I would just deal with it timed the way it should be. If I didn't care about 100% correctness, then I'd just install a 3 or 4 prong and be done with it.

[Last Edit: tonyxcom] [#42]
The documentation that comes with the Warcomp says it can be timed neutral or to favor lefties.

Edit, just says for "Left handed use", nothing about neutral timing.

That's good to hear and makes me feel better about it.

I'll prob just roll w/ it spray paint it or something so it doesn't look like a blind man hand carved it.

If anyone has a proper Colt Socom FSB that's F marked just sitting around, feel free to IM me and I'll buy it off you.

From brownells:
Brownells offers two different models of the USASOC URGI, a stripped model and a complete model.

The URGI stripped upper receiver group does not include a bolt carrier group, charging handle, or muzzle device.

Makes more sense to buy it stripped and finish it off yourself, especially if you're like me and already have the necessary parts laying around. Even if you don't, you can still finish it off for less than the $400 you'll save over buying it complete.

Still don't think I'm gonna pay $1k for the rail, barrel, and upper. I'll wait until a rail pops up in the EE and build it myself.

I'll prob just roll w/ it spray paint it or something so it doesn't look like a blind man hand carved it.

If anyone has a proper Colt Socom FSB that's F marked just sitting around, feel free to IM me and I'll buy it off you.

Thanks for the help, fellas.

I just sold one off my SOCOM barrel.

Keep an eye out on the EE, doesn't have to be off a SOCOM barrel. Any .750" diameter FSB will fit the barrel, but they're supposed to be drilled to match. If it bothers you that much, contact ADCO and see if there's anything they can do with a barrel that's already been drilled for a FSB, but that needs a replacement installed.

Edit: those prices are to drill the barrel for an FSB too. Not sure their prices are less for an already drilled barrel unfortunately.

I'll check for you when I get home and I'm done cerakoting for the day. I have 2 that I just took off, one from a 6920 and one from a 14.5 govt profile.

I did a little testing on this, but most of my data is from a 10.3" government profile barrel and not a 14.5".  Take any and all of this with a grain of salt...

-Shooting a CQBR at 50y with a -212 can gave a solid 3" drop.  (Fed M193...zeroed for 50y)
-Shooting a CQBR at 100y with a -212 can gave a ~4" drop. (Fed M193...zeroed for 50y)
-Shooting a CQBR at 200y with a -212 can gave a 12" drop.  (Fed M193...zeroed for 50y)

-Shooting a M4B2 at 100y with a -212 can gave a 4" drop. (Fed M193...zeroed for 100y)
-Shooting a M4B2 at 200y with a -212 can gave a..."good enough" for an 18" steel target.  (Fed M193...zeroed for 100y)

Both barrels were M4/government profile.  Both rifles have RIS II rails.  Both rifles were run with either an Elcan (mostly), an ACOG (for when the M4B2 didn't have an Elcan), or an EXPS 3 w/ G33 (when the CQBR lost the Elcan).  For comparison, my 416 had near POI/POA at 200y when running a SOCOM RC and an EXPS 3 w/ G33 (Fed M193...zeroed for 50y).  I'm guessing barrel profile was a big reason for that.

I know I'm not answering your SOCOM RC suppressor question, but the -212 can is damn near close enough, and very repeatable, as is the SOCOM RC.  The data I have (which is very little) on the SOCOM barrel is hampered with having a non-FF (KAC RAS) rail and changing optics a lot.  But the basic info I have is that the SOCOM barrel with a SF RC suppressor was less reactive at 100y than the M4 profile.  At the end of the day, I'd like to move my SOCOM barrel (which I'm not really using) over to my M4B2.

Again, take all of this and put on the rim of your glass when making margaritas.


If I was a lefty, I probably wouldn't buy a Warcomp because it's set-up for righties and it looks stupid timed for lefties.
Seriously, who cares what it looks like?  If it's timed to make it work for you, then rock on.  As you said, SF doesn't specify where it has to be timed to work (only what they mention in the fold-out).  Personally, I have a Warcomp OT timed neutrally on my 416.  It works fine, and while the suppressor notch isn't at 6:00, it only bothers others that worry about such things.  Otherwise, it works fine, suppressed or otherwise.
