Edit, page owned. A shitty cell pic whilst it waits for the RIS FSP to be delivered.
The 16" on the LE6920 SOCOM is still the "socom" profile, sans the cuts as others have stated. Just wanted to share the pic.

I'd love to put together a clone after getting a deal on a SOPMOD stock, but I am trying to figure out the best approach to take to get there.
Is the general consensus that it's "easier" to build a clone by keeping an eye out for a complete rifle rather than trying to put one together piecemeal? I saw that some folks had purchased a complete rifle just to get the properly stamped lower, but that sure seems like an expensive route to take if you don't care for the rail or FSB that comes with the rifle in question. So buy a complete rifle and then modify it to taste? Any helpful hints for this noob would be greatly appreciated. |

If I were to do it all over again I'd probably buy a complete 6920 SOCOM, sell the 16" barrel and then replace it with a 14.5" SOCOM barrel. The FSB can be shaved if you want a full length RIS II so that shouldn't matter and you can always sell the rail that comes with the gun. |

Mixed bag. Daniel Defense has an AcuSport exclusive "M4A1" version.... Correct rail, incorrect barrel profile and muzzle device already pinned. Noveske makes a Block II upper for someone: Again, correct rail, but incorrect gas system.
It depends entirely on how "close" you want to get. The most hardcore guys have the money to piss away to piece the gun together from the ground up with "correct" hardware. If you want to buy a factory built rifle while trying to walk the clone line, it's hard to argue with a base 6920, then adding to it as you see fit. I started with a 6920 socom, for the rollmark and barrel profile as I refuse to go the pinned 14.5 route. That alone guarantees me an incorrect clone. Do I care? nope. Also consider how some "correct" hardware most of simply don't use anymore.... non-winter trigger guards, standard pistol grips, brakes, etc. The newer/custom parts are usually seen in the wild, thus I am impressed with and envious of some rifles in this thread, along with the user's attention to detail. I am not of said affliction, so I'll continue being happy with my toys and just drool. |

Keep your eyes peeled on the EE & gun broker has some hard to find goodies well (scored a Colt LPK, CH & BCG on there this past week. My new "goto" PR build is a week away from being done. 
ETA: I agree with Stevie only because you score 6920's at Walmart for the low low. But to hell with 16"s

Thanks to everyone for the fast and informative responses. Looks like I'll keep an eye out on the EE for the parts I like and try to find a deal on a complete 6920 SOCOM in the meantime.

This^ I have an older Law Enforcement marked rifle for my Block II and a SPORTER M4 CARBINE marked SP6920 for my PR. If I could do it again, I'd definitely get the SOCOM model as the basis for my PR, that's pretty much what SP6920 has turned into anyway except its a government profile and 16" but someday will have the correct barrel. As for my Block II... I dunno. That rifle was my first new in box AR, I bought it in 2009 and it uses standard dimension pins and I'm just very partial to it... But if that was not the case, yes, I'd start with a SOCOM in order to get the M4A1 roll mark 
And it's always cool to hear someone say "I got a SOPMOD stock, now I need to build a clone!" |

The easiest way to get the M4A1 roll mark is to get the 6920 SOCOM...except for the extra barrel length, you're starting with an M4A1 clone. Replace the rail when you're ready: done. |

i also did my rifle piecemeal, and it was cheaper imo. the lower i already had, i just added a CQD rear mount. for the upper, i just watched the EE for deals, got my colt m4 upper complete for 200 from SAW, along with the colt gas tube, the rail from brownells, DD mk12 gas block and KAC front sight from operation parts, and the barrel from the EE brand new colt socom 14.5 for 250. this was during the panic too so its definately possible. no wasted money.

The FSB can be shaved if you want a full length RIS II so that shouldn't matter and you can always sell the rail that comes with the gun. This will probably be your most accurate and cost-effective route. Colt 6920 SOCOM from Walmart runs about $1500. Sell the barrel, get a new 14.5" Colt SOCOM barrel--should be pretty much even money, although you may pay just a bit extra for the 14.5" barrel than you can sell the 16" barrel for. Sell the rail (KAC or Troy) and buy the DD RIS II. I think you will have to shell out a little extra for this. The shaved FSB is something you can do at home with a little bit of handiwork and a Dremmel tool. Or you can shell out about $65 for a DD Mk12 low profile gas block. KAC front sight will run you about $150-180, depending if you get it used or new (when you can find one). TangoDown VFG will run you about $67 as well. Depending if you want a KAC BUIS or Matec, you would be out $40- 180, depending what and where you got it from. Optics and a can are the places you will shell out the biggest bucks though. |

What is the correct Tango-Down vertical grip in FDE? Is it the MK46 model that everyone complains about not fitting on their rail or is it the QD model that is more expensive?

Thanks, Thus has been discussed before. It is the BGV-ITI in FDE. ETA: non-QD. It fits fine, you just have to remove the bottom rail (RIS II) to take it off. If you look closely at the muzzle end of the RIS II, you will see why. However, KAC VFGs and Magpul AFGs don't seem to have the same problem. |

The correct version is the Mk46 one w/insight pocket. They are indeed a royal bitch to get on at first. FSP is installed. Almost digging the non-painted rail. 
Now just waiting on the exps for christams. I know I've seen at least one pic of the LMT on a block II (no, it wasn't a mk18)... anyone else rock one? |

I know I've seen at least one pic of the LMT on a block II (no, it wasn't a mk18)... anyone else rock one? love the FPS. Good bud of mine has been rocking the FPS in Afghanistan for years. |

NSN# 1095-01-585-7959 Edit: this one is for the QD, it appears there's several TD grips listed in WEBFLIS. Edit #2: 1005-01-D12-0686 is the best I can do right now, but doesn't show on WEBFLIS or the like. |

I've been watching eBay for months patiently waiting for a good condition SU-231 marked EOtech 553 Tan to pop up. Finally paid off, got one LNIB that is absolutely spotless. This was the very last piece, she is finally done...

Let's see a pic of the whole rifle! And trust me, you aren't done. I got mine to a similar state as yours, but then I got the Elcan bug... And my Eotech ended up turning into a PR. |

I thought my SU-231 marked 553 was in good shape; that thing is truly mint! I see someone just picked up a FSP CQBR rail to go with the M4A1. You're definitely going to have to get an Elcan for the M4A1 now so you can put the 553 on the CQBR

Nice! I thought my SU-231 marked 553 was in good shape; that thing is truly mint! Yeah I messaged the seller on eBay asking about the condition and he claimed it was mounted once on the rifle and then put back in the box. Aside from the fact the batteries were dead as a door nail, you couldn't tell the difference between this one and brand new. Build date was Sept 07 or 08. Originally Posted By GreenSwamperin:

Yes, these clone threads have been devastating to my bank account. First the Block II, then I ordered a Douglas MK12 barrel which arrives this month, and now I picked up a MK18 RIS II rail from EE yesterday. Oh boy....

I can't stand that "desert sand' color though. It's like a light gold almost. It stands out like a sore thumb against any and every other tan or FDE on the market. |

Might have to swap the black SOPMOD for a desert earth one though. |

I agree. At least the Haley WML is available in coyote now and it looks much better.
