Yup. If you compare the new ones to the ones we have always received in the past, its quite obviously due to cost cutting.

My best guess is that the F marking fairy got laid and decided there was better things to do then F mark FSP 's.

Okay,  so maybe I have no idea but if I guessed it was a new employee that totally screwed up and a QC supervisor that is getting written up and a marketing gal that's hot enough to pull it off as "a step we didn't think was necessary anymore due to the overwhelming use of that height FSP but due to surprising confusion the next batch with be F marked once again"

That would seem to indicate they're cut barrels rather than factory 10.3, no?  Since the flats are for installing the M203 (or using your wrench if you Facebook).

They don't look cut down. Probably just another dumb decision by the US Government. Put M203 cuts on a barrel that can't mount an M203.

GL/SSC usually discussed in here.

I'd go straight for the RMR.  I had a Docter (which I really need to list for sale) but switched it to the RMR because it was light-years more usable, especially when the gun was pointed anywhere near 180 degrees of the sun.

I wouldn't be surprised but figured I'd ask given the point of the cuts.

As for the GL/SSC, I've done some Google searching, but wasn't able to find much of actual operational pictures.  Understandably, there may not be many, but was curious if anyone was able to a little bit of a pic dump of OPERATIONAL GL/SSC pics.  I was curious of setups (ie, time period/furniture/optics).

No photographic evidence. May not have even been fielded, same as the Mk18 RIS II FSP.

As pez said, not necessarily. The military does ALL KINDS of shit that doesn't make sense. So they could be cut down and refinished, or they could literally just be 10.3" SOCOM profile barrels with an .070" port and unusable M203 flats.

I'm with you there bro. I can only remember seeing an SU-230 topped with Docter and MRDS (EO) though. But I love the dual illum RMR. (Except looking from dark into light areas)

Changing batteries (losing zero) on most mini red dots is just fucking annoying.

Stickman left too. Coincidence?
Mark LaRue prob chased him off again. It happened before.

As for the GL/SSC, cool factor of 1,000. Clone factor of 0.

I've always got the feeling the test models were made, SOCOM said "yeah these are cool, but we don't need a barrel length in between 14.5 and 10.3" and DD said "good, we don't like selling FDE RIS IIs anyways unless you buy our full URGs" and SOCOM said "it puts the lotion on its skin Daniel".......or something like that.

Yeah, he and Mark got in dick measuring contest, so Stick packed up and left. I think it was also proven that it was more than one person posting under that account, but I don't think that violates any rules. I just miss his pics.

Under Stickmans account? Interesting. Him and I got into it once, because I informed him "eye dominance" is not something you can just change on the fly. Kind of like you not being able to just right now turn into a right handed dude. He just wasn't getting it. He then told me I was wrong because I was (at the time) 26 years of age.

Other than that he was cool tho lol

I think it was all while his account was an "individual" account but being run/used by a company (Rainier IIRC) but he changed over to an Industry account for a while before he took his toys and went home.

Pretty much every time I talked with him, I kept asking him to let me get his China Doll lower. He was always cool with me.

Nope. Don’t have the hand guard and barrel nut yet so no point. I guess I was lucky that gas block slid on and off the 10.3 barrel. Shit.

Aren't you too young to actually know that there was a time Jodie Foster was popular and possibly considered hot.  I think I thought so.  A million years ago.  Or is that movie some kind of classic?

On a relational level: I thought I hadn't noticed Stickman posting lately.

On a technical level: I've heard it said M855A1 is burning barrels out quicker than regular M855 or regular ammo in general.  Is there truth in that?  Is the new URG meant to be shooting that stuff?  Is CD changing barrels out quicker now?  Or other armorers?  Is it worth it?

Probably the wrong forum to ask, but it came up today in another thread and I'm curious......

And one more technical thing....  After all these years I'm just noticing that some commercial M4 style barrels have a step down right in front of the FSB.  Like they go from .750 to something smaller than that but not much.  Like .740 or something.  Are Colt or FN barrels like that or are they just .750 going forward of the FSB?  I think my RRA barrel doesn't have that step down.  I'll have to double check.

High heat to the block is what will be your saving grace. You could also freeze the barrel (barrel metal grains contract, gas block metal grains expand)

Beyond that I'm not sure broseph. I only ever used the Colt FSB on that barrel. I'm sure the old paint residue isn't helping any

I think Jodie Foster still is hot. (ill be 29 in March)

@Stealthguy dude honestly I would take it to a shop with a hydraulic press or send to ADCO for install. The heat trick might not even work so, it might be best to pay to make it somebody else's problem. Plus Steve at ADCO does this for a living. Just remember to put the RIS II barrel nut on first if you do

Yeah, I had to heat the shit out of mine. Same with the DD gas block on my Mk12. I just hope I don't need to take them off

I got my DD block half way on my MK12 mod 1 barrel with a mallet. Thing was so beat up looking by that point I cut it off with a dremel.

Long barrels and Mk12 gas block just don't seem to jive. Luckily on the 10.3 you only have to get it to slide like an inch or 2.

I had problems with my first CQBR and DD MK12 block. I just tried a Geissele block and it was fine. Who ever did the specs for the MK12 gas block is a fucking asshole.

Getting the mk12 gas block on my M4A1 was a pain in the ass. What worked best was taking the largest punch I had and put it on the front of the block and hammered it into place. The larger punch won't really mark up the block either.

So both the Badger and DD gasblocks are a massive pain the ass? Those are the only two options right?

What is going on with that upper? No colt C? Sub contractor upper I guess?

Yeah. Contractor upper. From what I've seen he gets those square forge (brass & aluminum enterprises) and FN uppers for rebuilds. I don't think he gets any Colt. Those Colt receivers are from the original upper as it came

Colt is a sub contractor also.  Govt looks at a part as a part.  If Beretta won a contract for spare magazines for the New M17/M18 pistols than they could be mixed.

@StealthGuy

I don't know if this shit helps but on Operation Parts  It says for the Badger gas block
Note: These are press fit.
So I guess that means heat the shit out of it to slide it on.

The diameter in front of the gas block on USGI barrels is .735“-.745“ IIRC.
