Well here's my teaser for Monday when the qd latch arrives... Does anyone have the top half of a RIS for sale by chance?

203 barrel mount came today, nice surprise. I'm so glad I ordered this 203 receiver from AU when I did. I haven't efiled a form 1 in years, so not sure on the process after 41F but I really want a barrel and 37's are nohwere to be seen. This thing is coming together nicely. Does anyone have a spare RIS upper portion they'd sell? I want to retire this RAS back to the spare parts bin and get a RIS on it.

So this safety selector is getting the best of me. I got a Colt m16a1 selector and cut the center fin off but it doesnt have the pointer arrow/recess cut into the ejection port side its just flat. I can find flat faced selectors with the arrow notch on the ejection port side but they're not listed as Colt just "mil-spec" with an itar restricted notice and dont have the S marking on the selector lever. Should the block 1 clone correct flat faced selectors have the arrow notch on the port side and/or the S marking on the lever? Not sure which is correct
Also thinking the 3rd detend position would be hard to prove isnt for full auto if it was in question in a situation where it could not be fired? So hoping to find out what details are correct and order a 2 detent semi auto selector |

So hoping to find out what details are correct and order a 2 detent semi auto selector It seems the consensus is that the full-auto M4A1's had a notch on the right side whereas Colt continued to ship their commercial semi-auto rifles with the non marked (no tick) selector. I finally settled on swapping out the KAC ambi from my mk12 as I found that posted in this documents pages 12 and 21 from 2006: http://cl.ly/0t212k3k3k0Y Someone else I'm sure has a way more solid answer but hopefully that helps you get past where you are. As for the 3rd position. You don't need live fire to prove/disprove a rifle is designed to be full auto. Besides the obvious lack of components, you can cycle the bolt manually to see if the hammer falls with the trigger held rearward. I wouldn't sweat a 3rd position selector that points to the word AUTO on a receiver so long as you don't have the numerous other components required to convert to FA. Don't take my word for it, you can look around and interpret that to your comfort level, just don't send a letter. :) |

You can see some iterations here if you scroll through a couple pics: https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=3 It seems the consensus is that the full-auto M4A1's had a notch on the right side whereas Colt continued to ship their commercial semi-auto rifles with the non marked (no tick) selector.

Does it need the S on the top side of the lever to be correct?

If that selector has a notch and the short lever as shown in the product photo, that's a great option. The couple extra bucks is worth it, in my opinion, to not have to bother with cutting off the fin. Some notched selectors (like BCM's latest version) have a different style of notch - more like a straight line - but that only matters if you're a little obsessive like me. Please post photos when it arrives. Agreed. The "S" has been said to indicate that it was made by Schmid Tool, and/or the "Safe" position (and I think it's only on Schmid Tool selectors made for Colt and other brands). It's really not even noticeable. |

Drug my SOPMOD “clone” out yesterday. Felt weird going to the range without an SBR or can...... As usual the 921HB barrel shot great. I kinda forgot how much fun this rifle was.

They can be installed from the breech end, you do not have to remove the FSB like I see all the time on threads. Also, I assume since you just got the barrel you just threaded that KAC M4QD on the muzzle end and it's not torqued down? If not, it's not clocked properly, so make sure you use shims to do that once you're ready. Build looks great though, keep going!! |
