So maybe I'm wrong, but I just got an ADCO chopped barrel that was 10.3" and it still looks too long.
My question is, could it be the Surefire Brake? 
See the gap between the RIS and suppressor? This is ASMIG's 
I now have two ADCO cut Colt barrels that seem to be longer than 10.3" or at least the same CQBR barrels that the they are issuing. |

Does this? This was back on page 84 (apparently JShepard's which looks similar to mine) 
I'm wondering if it's the brake shims or that the brake sits a tad bit taller than a flash hider similar to how AAC's are a tad bit different due to the wrench flats. Thoughts? |

Do you have to use shims for the flash hider since it has an index point? I would consider switching it out because I think it looks goofy with the gap.

I'm about to swap back barrels, because each Colt barrels I have is a different profile and this one I just installed is heavier.
When I remove the brake I'll see what it looks like without the shim. Do I have to have the main washer/shim? |

That said this lower usually is on my CQBR but was running it on this today because it has a H buffer In it and I've been having trouble with it cycling independence. Pic thread:

To keep this post related.....suppressor wraps......is there a need to use them, or why ae they used? Just to keep from burning yourself, or is there another reason? Seems like the suppressor itself would get that much hotter if it were wrapped? (thinking of wrap that is sometimes used on headers on a drag car. The wrap on headers is to help make them more thermally effecient. I was wondering the purpose on a suppressor) |

The wraps were made to keep mirage out of shooter's vision for long range shooting.
I don't see the obsession with them on normal ARs. I guess if you're running a class and you're doing a lot of transition drills you wouldn't have to worry as much about it burning your leg. |

In my experience ADCO does indeed cut their 10.3 barrels just a hair too long. They're almost a 10.4. If you're looking at the end of the RIS straight on, the end of the rail should perfectly line up with the shoulder of the barrel. Every factory 10.3 barrel I've seen does this. But ADCO cut barrels stick out just a hair farther. Here's an ADCO 10.3 cut down example on my CQBR: I found it noticeable when I was using a crush washer. But if you use the NT4 flash hider and a shim instead to index it, you still get the nice and short look. But yes, if you're using a SOCOM suppressor, this does cause you to see the noticeable gap between the can and rail where there should be just a paper-thin non-noticeable gap. |

I put the socom brake on my DD 10.3" and only had to use two very thin shims. I'm wondering if it's enough clearance for when the can gets here. I can always add more shims to get the clearance but would rather not. Anybody have any input?

DD's barrels are shorter, but are DD's barrel really 10.3"? Could they be 10.2" or measured differently?
Because the Colt cut barrels I have have the neck sticking out a tad bit in front of the end of the RIS. When I had my DD barrel the neck was under the RIS. |

This may be true with some of them, but does not relate to the Griffon HMMS. The Griffon is rated for sustained full auto fire. And for precision shooting with a can, a suppressor wrap is utterly necessary. I start to have trouble picking up the target at even just 200 yards at times with a low round count on semi auto. The heat mirage can start to effect your sight picture damn quickly. |

Awesome pics of the Raiders. Interesting that some carry glocks...Or this is a mish mash with Vbss? Some rate Glocks, some don't. Depends on their job in the team. Some are carrying Glock 19's because a lot of SOCOM is favoring that gun these days. Furthermore, when in Afghan it's hard to get .45 ammo for the CQBP through the chain & much easier to obtain 9mm NATO especially when operating with a SOF from other NATO countries & from our own. |

Close enough for government work I suppose...definitely not as nice as some in the past few pages
Colt lower, Noveske Mk18 upper. I'm probably going to alternate b/w the 31F and a T2. I have an extra SOPMOD I'll most likely throw on.

Have TA33s been spotted in the wild on any of the MK18/CQBR or M4A1 variants?

I can't recall ever seeing one.
In pictures at least. Maybe someone has seen one in the flesh. |

Ok, one more for you cloners. For those who have sent barrels to ADCO to be chopped down to 10.3, are you able to specify what you want the gas port opened up to?
I ask because I recall reading a while back that ADCO would not disclose what they do to the gas ports on barrels they chop down to 10.3. This led me to believe that ADCO does their own proprietary thing when it comes to chopping 10.3 barrels. Basically, after picking up a new Colt SOCOM at my dealer today, and an FDE MK18 RIS II on the EE, I'm thinking about having the factory Colt 16" SOCOM barrel chopped down to 10.3, and going with yet another CQBR. This one will at least get me some clone points, and also allow me to continue bashing Colt while coming off as a more unbiased current owner of their products.

No. ETA: They didn't with mine at least. They told me they would open it to appropriate size. This was a few years ago & I don't care to measure. |
