Relocated the scout light to the right side of the gun. Noticed while I was mounting the light that my rail got bent at some point. Probably during shipping after sending it out for assembly :(

Was in a cardboard box with soft cell foam like in an oem pelican case that was then in another cardboard box.
Not sure how but I just think it happened in return shipping. |

When I built my 14.5” I sent the barrel, flash hider, gas block, and barrel nut to John Thomas for a pin and weld. Once it got back it was as easy as put barrel in receiver, torque barrel nut, install gas tube, and install rail. 5 minute job at most. |

I should have done this but didn't think about it when sending it out for a pin and weld. I've built all my other ar15 uppers myself. It's a tiny little bend I'm not too worried about.

Because OP said they were sending it out, I'm assuming they don't have access to a vise and the proper tools and fixtures. |

Just checked the box. Not damaged/ punctured. Even double boxed though it is still has some give. If UPS stacked a heavy box with enough weight on top of this it's possible thats how it got slightly bent.

Has a Leupold MK6 ever been seen on a URGI? i picked up a 1-6 with the CMR Reticel and threw it on the URGI for shits and giggles. The URGI is light as is, and coupled with the 17oz MK6 it makes for an awesome light package. Hoping its somewhat correct or i may have to build another for a non correct build

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brodband8: You know damn well the air filled tires and ground were working in your favor that day.  funny as that was almost three years ago and six Cola warriors. Its seen quite a bit of abuse, I just built two in case I eventually break one. Funny though my URX 2 on my SR25 was cracked and sent it to KAC for repair. It was a small hairline crack, since it was one the first Shot Show demo EC's might had happened in transit or factory defect. They repaired it and didn't charge me, I expected to pay as we banged that thing around quite a bit. Light weight or sturdy, just hard to get both. |

Quick question for you URGI Warriors...
Would you pay $900 for a 14.5" Upper if it had the Geissele Barrel instead of DD? That's also without the BCG/CH which I don't need anyway. Thoughts? |

My first geissele stripped URGI with DD barrel and non Colt upper was $838 Second one I built: Rail $300 DD barrel 14.5 with gas block $390 Colt upper $150 If you can't wait you can always sell the geissele barrel later and get the correct DD barrel. If it's cheap enough I will buy the geissele barrel. I have a geissele lower that needs a upper. |

Does it come with the SF four prong? That’s worth at least $150.
Are you concerned about the G barrel or the G upper? They are not very clone correct if you are trying. |

Not sure if this was to my question/post or not but it doesn't have a pinned Muzzle Device which is perfect for me since I have 3 different Surefire ones to choose from. On the barrel issue, despite owning 2 SDs I'm unsure what advantages a DD barrel has over the G one. Actually, don't ever recall shooting anything w a DD barrel |

I suppose it depends on how cloney you want to get. Colt cage code uppers can be had for $180 or less. MK16 rails for $300 or less. The barrel is a problem to source. Nothing wrong with a G barrel, though I have no experience with them. It may have the new #SUPERDURABLEBLACKOXIDE finish on them, rather than phosphated. Gas block will also be wrong. Again, it depends on what you want. If you don’t care about correct parts it’s still a shitty deal. |

 Sorry guys, don’t really come on here anymore, was just doing some research on these and came across your forum, and looking for an NXS 2.5-10x24 for my recce. None of these have DD barrels in them so that one guy would still be clone correct for a PJ gun. Majority of optics are T2’s with magnifier but also Eotechs, acogs and a 1-6 MK6. Basically shit from their Block II’s are used. The braided Super 42 and H3 buffer combo caused headaches with the 10.3’s. All sorts of malfunctions with M855A1 and Frange, both with and without cans. Swapped them out with standard FN M4 springs with M4A1 H2 buffers and that did the trick. Hope that helps, thanks for the info guys |

I’m not sure what that means, I know of a bunch of PJ units that got them approved by Guardian Angel as a Unit purchase and that’s what they’re running. So technically yes, your DDC uppers and Geissele barrels are clone correct if you want to clone a PJ URG-I. |

Would the original PJ ones have been with the DD barrels and are just now using the Geissele barrels, or have the barrels always been Geissele? |
