I’m in the process of building a SOCOM Block ll upper. I’ve got the Colt SOCOM profile 14.5” barrel and the Daniel Defense RIS ll FSP rail. To stay “Clone correct” I would have to use the Surefire SF3P Flash hider but the Surefire Warcomp seems to look like a better choice as you get not only a Flash hider similar to the SF3P but you also get a compensator as well for about roughly $10 more. I don’t do any night shooting so a Flash hider is not really important but a compensator actually serves a useful purpose in preventing muzzle rise
So what do you think? The Warcomp-556 Surefire Warcomp Or the Surefire SF3P Surefire SF3P-556 Your prompt replies will be appreciated |

E-Filed the SBR paperwork on my PSA M4A1 lower today as well. Hoping to find a Colt LPK that isn't stupid expensive. Progress... View Quote |

Flyit I'm 99 percent sure DD will send you 1/2. If not let me know. I have a Mk12 block chopped in half somewhere with its screws, just have no idea where TF it is at this current time other than I saw it somewhat recently.

Put this together last week. I've been trying to find the correct tailcap for the M3X but might just give up and replace it with a Surefire Scout. |

Looking to build an M4A1 Block II Recce style rifle and my question is what LPVO would be the best option between the Vortex Razor 1-6 and the Nightforce NX8. I know the Razor has been seen “in the wild” as for the NX8 I’m not sure. I believe the ATACR would be the best bet, but if I can get by with the NX8 that’d be my choice..

Question. What buffer are you guys running with your Block IIs? I am looking at using an H2.

Hey CD, do you see any Vortex Razors coming thru on issued guns? I’ve seen some in the wild pics, but curious to see how often they are used. Thanks!

I have gotten several more parts in over the past two days. The FDE DD RIS II arrived today. The SF3P and a few other parts came yesterday. I have ordered a Colt M4/M4A1 receiver extension (4-pos.) from SAW. Hopefully, that will ship out early next week. The CQD sling mounts and TangoDown VFG (FDE) shipped today from Charlies Custom Clones. My Blue Force Vickers sling is now set up with Blue Force Gear snap hooks. The BCM SOCOM barrel was supposed to arrive today, but is delayed because of an accident on I-65 between Memphis and Montgomery last night. Since tomorrow is Saturday, it is likely I will not get it until Monday. As far as the KAC sights are concerned, I will not get them until some time in August. In the meanwhile, once I get the upper assembled, it will go off to John Thomas to have the SF3P pinned and welded. That is all for now.
