Thanks guys. Gun is pretty front heavy at this point, may move the IR unit back behind FSP for better balance, but I like having my support hand there and not having potential IR splash from FSP. I have a mil-contract/gen1 B5 Sopmod that does balance better, but I have better cheek wield with slimmer stocks with the 1.93 G-mount for the optic. May still go back to the B5 for balance, we'll see.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cmcflex: Minimum height of NF rings to clear BUIS would be 1.375”; they clear KAC 600m no problem. As stated, you might need the 1.5” if you have something like a Matech. Personally, I wish I had gone 1.5” but that’s for reasons unrelated to BUIS clearance. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Combat_Diver:
I've noticed that between the two is what gas block its set up for. Colt has a FSB, FN designed for low profile gas block (ie Mk12) with two dimples and no taper pin holes. The Colts FSB has to be removed, dimpled for LPGB set screws. Colts are a grey parkerized and FN black nitrate type finish. Can be wrong on the finish. I'll post pictures of the two tomorrow.

3 different barrels.
Top: FN SOCOM 14.5" (thought I had a Colt) Middle: Colt Govt Profile 14.5" that Crane modified ie remove FSB and dimpled. Bottom: FN SOCOM 14.5" factory for low profile gas block with dimples, notice no taper pin holes. Relooking at these and it appears I was wrong on finish. Appears to be the same just heavy oiled in the bag from FN and Colts usually dry out of bags.  Attached File Attached FileCD |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By A_Friendly_Manatee:
Maybe the finish differences are due to manganese phosphate vs. zinc phosphate? I believe one generally results in a darker finish than the other. Of course there could be differences in surface prep or which oils they bathe the barrels in after parkerization. Does the M4A1 TDP spec any of these variables?

I don't know if it's dye, or what, but many manganese phosphate parts are blackened now. LPKs are one example. |

Of course - did you read as far as the part that says, “After the part has been magnetized it needs to be demagnetized?”  While a metal part is temporarily magnetized during the MPI process, it should be degaussed afterwards to return it to its normal, non-magnetic condition. It’s possible that the bolt wasn’t demagnetized properly, and it in turn magnetized the rest of the BCG, or the entire assembly might have been magnetized somewhere else along the way by exposure to an electrical field.
Metal machine parts that are magnetized will attract metal shavings, dust, etc. In the case of a BCG, it won’t affect performance, but it will tend to attract metallic debris that will adhere in the nooks and crannies, which doesn’t make cleaning any easier. I’m a mechanical engineer (by education - haven’t “practiced” in a while), so I tend to get obsessed about the way things are “supposed to be.” Don’t let it worry you.
