Dunno......I'd have to see a good pic of the other side man. (And feelings could potentially get hurt discussing it. Lotta touchy folk on the subject. |

I’m sure this has been covered before, but this thread is far too huge to scroll through with any meaningful chance of finding anything, and the search function continues to stymie me. What’s the deal with slings for these block II M4s? I’m slowly building one up after Daniel Defense released those rails a while back. I drank the cool-aid and went all in... DD RIS II rail, DD 14.5” midlength barrel, vortex flashhider pinned and welded (I’m not being 100% authentic), DD upper reciever, and DD BCG. Going to use a lower I have lying around and finish it up some time... still looks odd to me, the brown rails on a black rifle, but apparently that’s the way it is...? So... what does a sling attach to on the front? I guess I need a B5 SOPMOD stock for the back end of the sling, but what about the front? Also, anyone know what kind of sling is appropriate for one of these? Hell, since I have everyone’s attention, what about BUIS? If nayone has a link to the proper ones I’d appreciate it. I have enough info to likely track them down, thanks to the first post in this thread, but if someone has it handy and doesn’t mind sharing... oh, also, is a black B5 stock okay, or should I get a brown one? Thanks! CD |

Gentleman in the first video needs to lean forward more. I used to make the same mistake, now I'm an aggressive leaner. Lean forward, bend knees, shifting upper body slightly over center, keep weight on front of feet. Pull the fore-end into your shoulder: keep it tight. It also increases mobility which allows you to shift direction faster as body mechanics has not evolved to go from a neutral footing to rapid movement. Staying slightly on the ball of your fore-foot also allows for rapid transitions to cover etc. CD good form on second vid, possibly straighten back a bit but otherwise good. Make sure even when kneeling to keep the balls of your feet planted, so you can get up and go at a moments notice. Some instructors train differently to avoid Achilles injury but in a gun fight you need mobility. Lastly, consider a heel-to-toe stance as used in Kenpo, it allows for rapid transition and maximum traction under load. It also facilitates armor coverage and minimizes the body's cross section at the same time versus a full frontal armor stance or a side stand which is trash IMHO.

lol You do need to write a book... but I'm sure we'd settle for an "armorers definitive guide on building clone rifles" thread.

@MILSPEC556
It is a white marked upper I wiped it down with balistol the lower I had just got from Charlie's custom clones and the andonizing is chalky after I wiped lower with oil they look the same. Can you let me know what u referring to with the upper? I'll take a picture of the other side I have 5 clones a m16a4 and block 1 with colt 6920 law enforcement marked with bullets lower and a block 2 Daniel defense fsb with a colt 2013 le6920 socom that is just marked m4a1 and one in picture my that is the newer m4a1 us property marked all 3 have colt keyhole uppers that are take off of 6920s and colt 14.5 socom barrels. I used to have one of the supposedly fn uppers without the white color fill but I sold it because the andonizing was to dark and didn't match none of my lowers. |

Kind of Block II ish here... Customer sent me a cool Savannah era M4 12.0 FSP rail for coating. I forgot that DD used to actually engrave the markings, not just laser cut them. Also, the rails felt much more "rounded" than modern 1913 rails. Pretty cool blast from the past.
I'm hoping he sends photos of his completed build, or posts here. Can't wait to see what it looks like installed.  20190105_122134 by A K, on Flickr
