I'm very happy Ray Ban's are clone correct. This is an excellent development.

No worries! Ya, if they will replace it, I'd go that route. You can post pics using picture hosting sites such as imgur. Just copy the images bbcode and paste it into your reply. Or you can pay for a membership, and use this site to post pics.

Have a few questions for you guys when assembling the parts.

Do you:

Lapp the upper before installing the barrel or not necessary?

Use Rocksett on the SF4P or not necessary for suppressor use?

Use blue loctite on the KAC Taupe front sights and KAC rear sights or not necessary?

Use blue loctite on the mounting screws for the RIS II or not necessary?

Use loctite on ambi safety selectors?

Use loctite on Gas block screws?

Thanks

Mounting screws have loctite on them from the factory, if reusing then yes one drop of Blue 243 per screw

Use loctite on ambi safety selectors?
No

Use loctite on Gas block screws?
Yes, Blue 243

Thanks

Scored a few things from the EE that will help me finish a couple builds.
- Finally found a larue lt139/ spr-e for my eod build.
- gen 1 hogue grip (RRA marked) for devgru build
- Kac vfg for devgru build
- early nsn marked ta01 for devgru build
- surefire m600c  possibly for devgru. Wanted m600a, but this will be a sufficient stand in

Clone correct would be USGI.  No others have been issued.  However, in the wild are just about everything.

Biggest gripe I have VFG-wise is the huge square at the top (I like to choke up on them)

I started to write that but erased it. It's basically not great at either of its intended purposes, but does them nonetheless. Definitely not good for a thumb break grip. But I still like it. Nostalgia and clone reasons. I still like seeing them out there, i just don't see them on clones much.

I think I'm gonna go to the dark side and convert to an 11.5" URGI... RIS II, barrel, 99051, grip and CQD front might be going on the EE soon.

Theyre good for setting the rifle down somewhere or the qual  range. For the old qual anyway.

It's a huge confliction for me. A big part is to be more practical. I've felt for years, maybe over a decade, that any realistic use of a rifle in a survival situation will not be within room distance. I want magnification and energy at range. Recently a lot of discussion has shifted that direction, which makes me feel even more compelled to make the change. I now literally want EVERY AR I own to be an intermediate range gun.

But on the flip side, like most of us here I've got a quantity of rifles numbering somewhere greater than two, so what's the big deal if I have one like the CQBR that brings me great joy to look at and plink with? Even excluding the CQBR, I've got intermediate range options if there's an emergency. So I don't know. Maybe I'm just itching for a change. I swapped out my M4A1 Block II for the URGI and don't miss it, would I feel the same about this?

If nothing else, start a new build and just set the 18 to the side. You'll eventually "rediscover" it and will be glad you didn't get rid of it.

I'm all for mlok, slightly longer barrels and magnification for shtf guns, but there's no reason a cqbr can't fill the role of a shorter gun. You can always dedicate it to a night gun or hd gun. I don't think you gain anything moving to urgi in the shorter length.

I don't understand why they took all that reinforcing material from the handguard, and smashed it into where it bolts up? It made for a weaker rail, and I think it just looks goofy. (When compared to a mk4 or mk8).

I was also wondering why only one of the cross bolts engages the barrel nut.  Doesn’t make sense to me, based on their previous designs.

I vaguely remember reading the design changes from the mk8 having something to do with being able to patent it.  I recall no further details than that though.  It’s possible I just imagined that.  The mk8 is a more aesthetic handguard.

I like them for that reason too. They work great as a stand. Plus, a sub par bipod is better than no bipod at all. If you have to drop down, it provides some stability for mid range shots. I think it's funny that there are probably millions of em out there, yet no one really likes em. There's a pretty good deal for some surplus ones, I may grab a couple just to have on hand. I finally got the proper lt139 spr-e mount for my eod build, so that will be complete shortly. Just waiting for a trade to swap my 30mm rings to 1" rings for the tr21.

For you guys with the Colt FA Ambi safety selector.
Did you remove (Grind down) the metal piece in the middle of the selector to turn it into Semi only OR did you leave it as is and allow it to rotate all the way?
Thanks

I vaguely remember reading the design changes from the mk8 having something to do with being able to patent it.  I recall no further details than that though.  It's possible I just imagined that.  The mk8 is a more aesthetic handguard.

I could see that. Profit over quality can lead to some pretty dumb ideas. I've only owned a mk4 and a mk8. I liked them both except my mk 4 was before mlok was a thing and I didn't like how far out the 6oclock picatinny was. It was great for the bipod, but that left me without a place to mount a grip. (Not that one is needed.) The look of the original mk4's were pretty cool too. They had the gumdrop shape vent holes in the bottom.

I left mine as is. No need to fix what ain't broken.


Eta-not much longer, my precious.

Eta-also, wasn’t sure if I should go eo 552, aimpoint m2 or ta01 nsn with this one. Just got this ta01. 25,000 ser range. She looks really great for her age. It sucks because I don’t plan to get into the night vision game, but a peq would finish this one off nicely. I don’t think I’d survive the beatings if I went airsoft, so no worries there.

Anyone hear if/when SF might be doing another run of the 4 prongs?
