This is a Ranger, so it's clearly a SOPMOD weapon, though the only sign of it being one is the PEQ, NT4 flash hider, and SOPMOD stock. Here's some more evidence of the TA31 in use.

BCM has options for perm attaching a muzzle device but the one I would want to attach is the 51t brake from aac which bcm doesn't offer. So if i get the a2x FH installed could I at a later date cut it off if I plan on getting a new brake? |

I would buy the one you want separate and see if BCM could weld it for you before shipping out your order.
If not, get it sent to ADCO and request it. |

Under the description it says "we only offer the muzzle options listed" unfortunately. I think I'll just get the a2x FH for now and if I eventually end up getting a can I'll just get it removed. When a permmed muzzled device is taken off it's usually destroyed right? I don't want to get a battlecomp only to possibly end up having it destroyed if I want to mount a suppressor. And since this is a pic thread.. don't know if it's been posted before. Credit goes to LevelZeroHeroes

So I noticed on a lot of the military rifle pictures a lot of the rifles do not have a BUIS but almost all of the clones do. Why might that be?

Magazines specific to the 6.8 will be necessary depending on OAL of the cartridge and if you want more than just a few rounds. Magazines range in price from $17-40 depending on what manufacturer and what OAL cartridge it allows. |

My Block II as it sits. I’ll be shipping it off to ADCO to get the NT4 pinned with a spacer, the FSB cut down, and the rail installed
Specs: Colt LE6920 (M4 rollmark) Colt SOCOM Barrel KAC NT4 DD RIS II in FDE LMT SOPMOD Gen. 1 
All I’m missing is: SF Scout Light (black) SU-231 (Tan) Magpul AFG I might get the KAC back up sights, but Im not sure that I even want them. I may just get the front sight so the top rail doesn’t look so naked |

You know, you have me wanting to build another block ii just so I can use a T1 like your build? Damn you! as to barrel length, I've got both. I need a 16" for my suppressor mount so I go with that. I like the 14.5" better. |

Mainly because I like to tinker with stuff, so I'm always playing around with different set ups and 16" makes that a little easier in my opinion. YMMV. Also I plan on hunting with my block 2 this year and having 16" will save me a huge headache should I run into a DNR warden. |

I pinned an AAC 51T hider to one of mine and now I'm waiting on a Surefire can... If you live in a state where you can SBR, no big deal, but the pinned muzzle devices are a pain in my opinion. |

The barrel being 1.5 inches shorter really does make a difference to me. Your going to find lots of people that prefer 16 inches instead because, at the end of the day, it boils down to personal preference. There really is no increase or decrease in accuracy or velocity between the two. |

I posted it here, and then was accused of being a troll, then told it did not belong here.  It is designed to hold the tape switch and the wires. In this case, because of where the VFG is, I use it to secure the wires. I really like it. I have another one that I actually use to hold the switch on another gun. It beats tie wraps and sticky stuff. http://www.tareinco.com/tareinco-tape-switch-holder/ |

If I remember correctly the EXPS3-0 was added to the SOPMOD kit because its transverse mounted battery was better able to deal with the recoil of the SCAR 17. That would at least explain why we aren't seeing them on M4's. |

Just my personal opinion, but a 16" barrel on a Block II clone just looks funny. Even if you have to pin a FH to make legal length, the slightly shorter barrel makes all the difference to me. It just looks "right." Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

My next Block II will have a 16" barrel. Nothing I can do if I wanna mount my can (which I do).
FSP rail to arrive Monday. Upper to arrive in about 15 business days. Ordered T1 2MOA on Larue high mount. Tan M3X arriving next week as well.
