Not that I care about the length but I'd assume one would measure from the end of the buffer tube to the end of the barrel and not wherever the brace was placed on the tube. Which buffer tube is that? |

Which buffer tube is that? There was an ATF response to an email a while ago where the ATF said you would include the length of the brace in the same way you would measure an SBR with the stock fully extended but it was the ONLY time I've ever heard that opinion, normally its without the brace as its not really permanently a part of the pistol or firearm. |

I've been on somewhat of a retro clone block 1 flashlight kick. All have been found on the EE.
 Got this one from a member that regularly posts here and in the m4 pic thread. I was happy to learn that this is the most rare and hard to find body style in the m951 series. It is the earlier body (sometimes referred to as gen 1), includes the sw02 tail cap, and is in decent shape considering its been issued. Question, I've been trying to find the difference between the m951 and m952 and so far all that I have found is that the m952 has a differen mount and better mounting options available. Is that the only real difference?

I went and got another mk18 started. This one will have an fn barrel with fsb and I have an fn upper that I'm gonna pair with it. If I can find a fsb mk18 ris or a fsp m4 ris cutdown for it, would it still be considered block two since it has an ris ii? I wasn't sure if the fsb made any difference in determining b1 or b2 or if it is just the ris ii vs ras. I had the newer fn setups in mind as shown by cd, only this is not socom profile and has the fsb. This one will be rattle canned for sure. Pics to come next week. If anyone has a lead on a cutdown m4 ris ii send me an IM. Otherwise I may go ahead and do it myself as I have been seeing the fsp m4 ris ii's in the $350 range.

Gotcha. I spent a good while tryin to research the difference, and from the pics, I couldn't see any difference except in some cases their was an arms mount or other. With the parts bein interchangeable I'd think I was on to somethin, then I'd find an example that would disprove what I thought. Are the m961vs m962 similar in that respect or do they have other noticeable differences?

Thanks for the information and replies. Here are a couple glamour shots to keep the pics flowin. I just got an awesome deal on a cutdown m4 ris ii so I will have a block ii to post real soon. I'll need to track down the barrel nut wrench for it. And damn, just realized I'm gonna need a block ii optic as well. I've seen block 1' s with block 2 accessories, but what about block 2 rifles with block 1 accessories? I'm sure they're are lots out since the combos are infinite. I've wanted a ta31f for some time now. I suppose I'll have to use my tax refund to get one.

https://gun.deals/content/brownells?view=list That is a regularly updated list of all the coupon codes - both advertised and not.

Happy block 2 Tuesday. I just received my first 99051 today. Bought off the EE for a decent deal. This one has a nice caramel chocolate color. The pic in the ad sort of gave it the stone color that was around for a while, but this pic is more representative of the color it is. I'm happy with it. I was surprised at how light these are.
