Brownell's shows it with a pinned Warcomp and not a regular 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. |

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.

IMO the barrel nick is whatever, won't effect performance. But that FSB looks like 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag....
I would at least try to get it exchanged, not sure how they will react tho. Will this barrel be for an FSP build or continuous RIS II? |

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. |

It’s a battle rifle, not Malibu Barbie play set. If it doesn’t preclude proper functionality, why worry about it?

"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? |

View Quote 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. |

Seems they should offer one that isn't pinned, anyway, for guys with SBR lowers. |

We can see clearly here in the Brownells picture that the the index lug is off kilter. https://i.imgur.com/ba8wXb4.jpg 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. |

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. |

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.

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. -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. |
