ACE Socom is very tempting. Especially because a lower I have needs a new buffer tube. Kills two birds.
I’ve been thinking the LPVO route. Maybe something a little cheaper than a Short Dot though. |

I’m really pissed none of you posted your clone F-15s or Nukes yet. Super disappointed

So I’m thinking about a Gordon clone in 300BLK. Anyone know if there’s a dissy style barrel with pistol length gas and carbine length FSB?

View Quote CMMG makes a 12.5” with a mid length fsb. That’s all I know about since they make the same thing in 556. You could get a set screw fsb and easily make it yourself to get the pistol/carbine combo you’re after. |

View Quote You could do a Carbine gas 300 barrel and just adjust the gas port as needed? Might not run everything but as long as it cycles subs suppressed that's all that matters. Could chop a 16" to 12.5" and have it profiled for the collar. |

New project time! Got a chopped RIS II, did some assembling. Going after @cdholmes ‘s CQBRecce with a 12.5” barrel and F1 suppressor til I can get an AEM5. Gonna have to send it to D.Wilson soon with some other uppers to get proper profile. The Wilson looks good to me, but I’ll have to have part of the rail cut for the button to flip it up.

This whole setup happened because of your 12.5” with it and a CMR rail! I think that’s a sleek lookin build. I think the Wilson is going to be kept to this one, and the original plan of the PRI in the MK4. |

Who makes a good intermediate gas length 16" barrel? I've got an idea to do a mini Mod 1 with exposed gas block with my FF RAS medium. Might never come to fruition, just playing with the idea right now.

Precision but they’re pricey but apparently good, and Noveske off the top of my head. There’s an 18” Noveske with intermediate gas on the EE, but it’s 18”. If you wanna contact Black River tactical, I believe their optimum is shorter than intermediate but I’m not sure how much. |

You guys think a barrel with a regular intermediate gas length system would put a spikes tapered gas block just in front of a URX ii? F$@k I just got that upper built up but already thinking of tearing it down for something I don’t even need but would look cool.

F$@k I just got that upper built up but already thinking of tearing it down for something I don’t even need but would look cool. View Quote In my research, intermediate is 1.5" shorter than rifle length. So hand tight assemble a rifle length in there and backtrack 1.5". I'm working on getting rid of stuff to complete my NSW so I'm not actively on the hunt for an intermediate barrel. I wish I could see what my idea would look like for a 16" Mod 1 aesthetic with FF RAS medium. I've never seen it done but I think it would be awesome. IIRC you posted a pic with the URX and a middy with the Spike's TGB and it was just shy of clearing it. Intermediate might not be super flush. Edit: found it on page 89. Looks like it was .025" or so from clearing it on a middy. So it would be just about or a little over 1" past the URX, give or take whatever the original clearance it was missing. |

This is why I can’t have nice things cause they never stay together long enough lmao. So if I have a 10.75”, and the gas tube is past that and 1.25” itself, I figure it’d probably end around 12.5” plus the 2.4” for the AEM5 so looking at a 14.9-15.1” barrel with intermediate gas? And for a rifle length URX with rifle gas, 16.5”? |
