Why does the RIS II have a detachable bottom rail on the MK18? On the full length it allows attachment of the 203, but can the MK18 take a 203 without the front notch on the barrel being present (too short)?

To be honest dude, I found the thread when it was about 500 pages long. I first looked at just the photos posted, then I read a bit deeper about rails and accessories. I like to research so it was fun to come home from work and chill and cruise the thread. Kind of funny to read pissing matches here and there but the thread is really informative.
I have not gone through every post but the ones that have good info- now I am relatively informed now about how to build a good clone. Ultimately I want to find a DD FSP MK18 rail and make a MOD 1.5. In the meantime while I watch the EE, I will build with a KAC RAS rail. I see loads of MOD 0 clones and MOD 1 clones but I like the idea of a 1.5. (SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE DETECTED) |

View Quote To answer the question if the M203 will fit - no it won't. The issue is that the front part of the rail where the barrel pokes out of prevents the M203 from seating flush against. |

Gotta build ‘em while the Dems still allow us too. |

Thanks for the awesome pics CD! Any idea why crane is still using cut down 14.5" Colt barrels vs buying new 10.3" barrels? Cheaper to use the existing stock?

So last year I was able to snag one of, if not, the last SOCOM RC's from AU when they had their sale. It finally got approved last week so I took the day off work and made the 3 hour drive down to Austin to pick it up from silencershop today. Here she is in all her glory..
Attached File And here's the blaster that will be hosting her... Attached File Attached File I filed the form 1 around the same time as I did the form 4 for the RC so that should be coming any day now. Will go on a Colt LE lower and have a Gen Juan FDE LMT SOPMOD. Upper is also currently getting the SiCo FH switched out for a SF 4 prong and I still need to decide if I want to pony up for a WMX200. Almost done boys..almost done. |

View Quote Same goes for 14.5" bbls, no longer Colts without FSB and dimples. New factory FN SOCOM 14.5" with dimples for low profile gas blocks. These new FN barrels do not have taper pin holes, only dimples for set screws for the LPGB. CD |

For anyone curious, I pulled the Mk12 off one of my DD 10.3" barrels and it's nicely dimpled for both set screws. Dimpling was done prior to phosphating as well.

That said, the FDE GB below has about 9k on it and only has the slight wear to the edge and the contact point on top: |
