In that state, missing the bottom locking screw, and without panels or a vfg, I'd list it/ pay up to no more than $130 to $150. If it were complete with the screw, panel set and vfg, I'd list it in the low $200. So basically what an m4 ras would go for, plus $20-25. That's an average of what I've seen em for anyhow. |

I've found a few times in the ee where it's listed as an m4 ras, but when you check the pic it's an ris. Prices are always better when you find em like that. But nice score nonetheless!

The issue is he didn't even try. He had an M4 RAS and that was it. No other clone correct parts and a non issued barrel length. You see what we are saying? Not a clone, not even close to a clone. 1 as issued part.

Yep, barrel ordered. Not that there's anything wrong with my Andro upper that's going to the EE now, but I'm doing it right this time without paying $450 for the same barrel from CCC.

Other than it being a colt are there any benefits to that barrel over the standard DD that comes with the complete uppers?

You guys better check the batteries in your sarcasm meters. 
. . . Speaking of new Colt factory 10.3" CQB FSP barrels, I picked one up from Thoroughbred Armament to swap in place of my cut down Colt 6920, which I also happened to get from them about 8 months ago. Yes, I paid more than you blokes who are picking them up from AU, but I'd like to think I lucked out because these weren't supposed to be F marked and mine is. TA even noted in their IG post about the barrels that they were not F marked. I checked with G&R just for comparison, and they also confirmed no F marks - saying that all Colt FSP barrels are now flat-top height and Colt is no longer marking them. In any case, I was pleasantly surprised that mine had the mark. Here are some pics. In the side-by-side comparisons, the cut down Colt barrel is the one with the raw, uncoated threads. It is a hair shorter than the factory 10.3".

I missed the last run on the AU Colt 10.3, but got lucky this time and snagged one up. I shoulda ordered 2-3 of them lol.
Top one has a chopped Colt barrel. Bottom one is a factory DDMK18 swapped with a DD .070" gas port barrel from those "contract overrun" days. 
The cover for the Docter Optic was beat to sht. I ordered a replacement from Germany, but when it came in it had the new name "Noblex" on it  . It did come with gummy bears though! I just ordered another one from Slovenia based on the pictures I've seen from the shop's website I ordered it from. I guess I could have contacted Docter USA to save me the trouble.

I kept looking at it for a couple of months and it just looked stupid, and so the other day I masked off the receivers and dusted on some paint on the rails to match the rest. It looks much better this way IMO. |

At least you'll get a 10 yr warrantee tho, that's nothing to sneeze at. I'm hoping to get into a set of PVS-15's at some point this year. I can definitely pull it off with green tubes. Another WP filmless tube and the housing tho, 'spensive Holmes. |

As far as price, the highest premium is usually for Savannah, GA marked RIS IIs that have a date code, and then Black Creek w/ date code. Current production lacks a date code, and there was also a change of the part number between early and current. Earlier Mk18 RIS IIs will be marked with "P/N DD-8020" and newer will be "P/N 01-004-8020." You do still see lighter colored rails in current production due to the variation in anodizing, but it definitely is more common on the older rails (especially the more "bronze" shades). Some degree of "bronze" is also a result of age and use. |
