Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AK47_COMMBLOC: ive got 2 identical ris ll barrel nut wrenches and they are soft and flex when i go to tighten. they are dd silver colored ones might even be unmarked unbranded. whats the more durable wrench i should be looking for? There is a certain direction DD wrenches are to be used. Go the other way and the rear stud gets sprung out. Unless you can get a machinist to make you one with stronger steel and thicker Classified Defense products are supered. |

Got a DD upper with the RIS FSP and will be building a clone-ish gun. Bought a PSA clone lower, and in my excitement bought the M4 carbine lower instead of M4A1. Oh well, wasn’t gonna be clone correct anyway. @Combat_Diver, ever come across a Block 2 with an M4 Carbine burst marked lower?

To expand on it, he isn't a CSO but just attached to the unit, so the rifle was probably the standard issued m4 that the USMC has that had a spare upper on it to replace the normal m4 upper.

Makes sense. I may have a line on a guy to do some laser engraving—I’d have him do the Colt pony logo, and then I think I saw something about x’d out “M4” markings with “M4A1” next to it. Anyone have any photos, or suggestions for other markings if I go the laser engraving route? |

Alright, so quick question for the experts
I mentioned a bit back that I was thinking of getting a KAC micro rear sight as the adjuster knob was thinner and allowed better use of my ambi charge handle. Well I ended up getting one but it’s the USMC marked type where I was kinda wanting the standard micro more… (I didn’t notice it was the USMC until I got it) BUT… The question is: is the USMC type more clone correct than the standard micro since they were out in the system or is the standard KAC micro preferred? I’m guessing the only micros out in the field ARE the USMC ones but I could be wrong. ???? |

Correct, they are selector blocks. In this case these are Army National Guard Rifles that had them installed for a State Activation to prevent Soldiers from going to the Auto position.
They broke off because our Armorer did not remove them after the activation and we went to our annual training that year with them installed. The majority that I saw broke off in the field just from common use.  Attached FileI had even spotted a few of the broken safety blocks still installed on some of our rifles when our unit deployed a few years later. |
