Looks great man. I've been thinking about straying from the gas buster myself. I miss the pull of my BCM ambi mod 44, felt quite a bit more ergonomic than the PRI to me.

The raptor would definitely be the compromise there IMO, not only is it every bit as good as the BCM, we've also seen an arms room full of them installed on block 2 CQBR's courtesy of CD. I think they come in FDE too I think they've fixed that. The Mod 44 I have is relatively new production (bought early spring of this year) and it's super solid feeling. Even with a solid pin instead of a roll pin in my GB, the BCM still feels way more robust when palm charging. I haven't tried a Raptor... but, ya know, if it comes in FDE... |

Just got my first Surefire weapon light. Wow, very nice! Almost got the Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount 2, but the surefire is way more aesthetically pleasing. The poor M3X led is locked in the parts bin crying, wile in time out.
Lately I've been planning on drunk ordering an RC from AU. Need to get on that..  Attached File |

As of now the BCM grip is back to mostly its original color with maybe a hint of remaining Alumahyde Magpul FDE; the brace is Aervoe Coyote over Magpul FDE over Blade FDE, lol. Thinking about giving Alumahyde MP FDE another shot on the brace and maybe oven cure it this time. Won't matter in about 6 months, hopefully. |

CLW doesn't list them as being specific to an Mk18/CQBR, but both of these would be accurate for an M4A1 lower with a CQBR upper (Colt cage code, M4A1 part#, serial of your choice): https://carolinalaserworks.ecwid.com/Colt-M4-M-16-0-75-UID-p87250208 https://carolinalaserworks.ecwid.com/Custom-UID-tag-for-M-4-Carbine-1-5-x-5-p82703152 I got one of each with the Colt cage, M4A1 part# and my serial. Decided to use the .75 this time around instead of the 1.5x.5 because of this guy: 
Chad will print pretty much anything custom that will fit on one of those tags, so if you want something not listed shoot him an email. He also has 1" square versions, which I take it are the newest tags used by... someone. I don't know for sure on those. I haven't seen any CQBRs with the 1" plate yet and kinda prefer the look of either the .75 or 1.5x.5 anyway, so I passed on the 1". |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell:
My guess would be that they have to ream the hole to a specific size for the pin to work correctly. A roll/spring pin has a relatively large range of tolerance that it can work in since it's designed to be compressed a bit on installation. A solid pin is not going to have that "give" and would require a properly sized hole to hold it in place. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell:

Speaking of charging handles and specifically Raptors, does anyone have experience with the Raptor-SD? I'm wondering if I swap out the GB for a Raptor if I should spring for the Raptor-SD, and if the extra money is worth it for shooting suppressed. |

As discussed a few pages back I got my cqbr out today and put some of the cheap wolf gold I scored through it. Ammo is g2g with a .07 port and h2 buffer without a can.
on another note I couldn't get the gun to shoot for shit at 100 yards with the elcan so I am back to the 553. The elcan is great on the scar 16 however, I can easily put 5 rounds of m193 into an inch and half group with the elcan. |

I honestly don't have any faith in anything DD other than ris ii rails and sling mounts anymore, the M4A1 "mil spec" rifle i got from them was the biggest pile of shit i have ever shot. I really want a chopped colt socom barrel to mitigate suppressor POI shift, and after CD's recent posts i think i can finally justify it
That said the scar stamp is a few months out so ill be sending the barrel off for a chop soon, which means the elcan has to go back onto the CQBR since i can't just let it sit in the safe unused for a few months lol. |

I got some labels from CLW as well and have to testify that they are top notch. Not only can you get whatever serial number but he'll even print out a custom matrix as well. I got one with my trust info on it and it will actually scan(it's not the whole Trust obviously but the name, address, phone number and some other stuff). I just thought I should throw in my experience with CLW.

Found something you all may be interested in knowing today. I've only had from Crane cut down Colt 14.5" Gov't profile barrels to 10.3" in the past. Seems the 10th SFGA armorer had these in the room. Brand new FN 10.3" SOCOM profile barrels. These are not cut down as you can see there are no FSB taper pin cuts in the barrel, barrel is dimpled and roll marks on barrel. And if I remember I'll try and grab the port diameter tomorrow. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_4645_rz-392541.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_4646_rz-392542.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_4647_rz-392543.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_4648_rz-392544.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/32677/IMG_4649_rz-392545.JPG Have a Merry Christmas!

Block 2 progressing...!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: Are you breaking the solid pins from PRI or standard roll pins? If you're breaking solid pins, that's impressive; those are pretty beefy. If it's standard pins, you should see if PRI will send you some of the solid pins. I think they're putting them in all GBs now, but not positive. You must be super-charging..

Just finished 930+ pages. Y'all have some serious issues...that said, Brownells has this URG...
Don't know if I'll jump in the CQBR clone club as I've got a Mk13 Mod 5 and M110k clone that were spendy enough. IF I did, the problem is that I would want an Elcan and NV. Two things I just can't see getting. Until I do something stupid, I'll live through you guys. Tiny, were do you live? I'm in Salem but get over to Bend now and then which is what your SO looks like, Central Oregon anyway. |
