There's 2 different listings for the 14.5 inch upper. The one that is discontinued has the Colt parts on it.

Okay, yeah, if you search for “URG-I” the discontinued one comes up but if you spell it out you get the in-stock ones.

Looks like a couple of hundred less than the sale Geissele has, too, though it doesn’t come with that trigger.

What does the brain trust think? Is the trigger worth it?

I also can use that website with the rebates from Brownells... dang it, forget the name...

If you don't have a SSA you need one. And they are clone correct!

Getting it from Brownells gives you:

- couple hundred less
- Active Junky rebate
- probably quicker shipping*

Of course you won’t have a trigger but you can always get one of those on sale at Black Friday.

*make sure if you’re using a free shipping code to select the 3-5 business day shipping. It’ll likely be faster than G’s slow as molasses UPS Mail Innovations.

That looks normal to me, most rails don't sit completely flush because of tolerance stacking.

It sounds like you've shot it. If it is achieving reasonable accuracy, it's likely to be mechanically fine (rather than having a presumably loose barrel nut). The gap may be due to longer than normal threads on the upper.

If you have the ability to disassemble and reassemble with proper torque, that would be advisable, as it would give good assurance that the barrel nut is tight enough to seat everything as well as possible.

Just ordered a Complete URG-I and Comp M5 w/ FDE mount from Geissele. I have so many Home Build Geissele Uppers I didn't think I'd get around to buying a URG-I Upper, but at $1520 for a Complete this week I had to pull the trigger. I have wanted a Geissele Lower for some reason so thats a bonus. I also picked up one of Geissele's Super Mega Ultra High Duty LPK's in FDE, dog leg selector levers and an FDE Receiver Extension. What do you all think of your URG-I Completes?

What are the chances of a Geissele "version 2" complete clone URG-I with the DD low-profile gas block (not MK12 or Geissele) as confirmed by CD? I already have an URG-I but would absolutely buy another if it came with the GB we're seeing downrange.

mk12 is also correct/in use from what i've read. It's either mk12 or the DD low pro

I have a gap! It's a factory clone but I pulled the rail to remove the DD GB and install the G SGB. When I reinstalled the rail I used the SPUHR scope mount from PRS gun to bridge the gap and time the pic slots. I haven't shot it yet but I'm not worried about it.

We design for a slight gap. The rail to receiver can't be perfectly flush unless we made the receiver too. With all the variation out there with uppers a slight gap is needed so the rail always fits, too close and then we would have rails that dont fit and guys jamming bolts into the cross holes.

The MK12 GB is a bad design to go with the MK16. The G block isn't much better. Use the DD LPGB or any other GB would be a better, IMO. I have a Noveske LPGB under one MK16 rail and a Spikes under another. Not much room even with those. I get the cloning thing, but I'm not into cloning bad ideas.

If it's touching at all, that's bad.

You can remove the rail and modify the gas block without removing the muzzle device.

I would say it's not good. I'm sure it would be fine for home defense. You just won't get the best accuracy from it. The guns reliability shouldn't have anything to do with the gas block contacting the rail. As pezboytate said, you can mod the GB. You can easily file it down some and then touch it up with some Super Blue. Who did you buy the upper from, @mrlegalace777 ?

The only issued gas block confirmed to be used so far is the pinned low profile gas block from DD. Which is not the same as the MK12. The pinned block has a single pin and no set screws which allows for the greatest clearance on the bottom of all 3.

Wait, what? Ack... so, what gas block do the clone uppers from Geissele come with? I actually cancelled my order with Brownell’s and ordered a pinned and welded clone straight from Geissele. Now I’m worried about the freaking gas block...

The Geissele 'Clone' model comes with a DD MK12 gas block.

I ordered it on the phone with them, I really wish they’d said something.

I don’t have a dremel and I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I did.

EDIT okay not sure how this post duplicated itself. How do I delete it? I must be missing something obvious...

Sad day when you buy a +$700 upper and have to dremel the gas block to get things to work right...
