A question for those that recently put together their uppers with a shark arms colt fbi barrel
Did you shave the FSB or go with the G block? Barrel i have has a F marked FSB, and this is going off to ADCO for assembly. Either have them shave and park the FSB, or maybe parkerize the G block prior to install? I prefer the black G blocks. G block seems like it would be lower weight with an already heavy barrel. Thoughts? |

Received the BRT gas port kit and installed it in the gas block. Very easy to do. They recommended a 061 port as a starting point for suppressed use on an 11.5 barrel. I ended up going with an 063 because I clicked the wrong thing when ordering
 .
I'll give it a try and see how it does. |

Recieved one of my rails. I would have called it a blem but I guess big G finds a blatant tool path issue ok.
Aside from that here is a color comparison Colt FDE tube Colt Cera OD lower DD RIS MK18 G DDC rail
