What is the correct answer for this box since AR15 is NOT marked on the Colt gov't property lower i'm using? This is what's marked on the receiver. If your receiver says "M4A1 Carbine" (for example), then that's what goes in this box. Next question on the Form 1 is Question 4F: What is the OAL of a SBR with LMT SOPMOD stock, milspec buffer tube, and 10.3" Colt barrel without the muzzle device attached? I'm seeing a bunch of different answers from 27.4" all the way to 29.5" and different answers like add barrel length plus 19" and i don't know what to use. It will be somewhere around 29" (roughly) but will depend on the actual length of the barrel, the length of your lower receiver thread section, SOPMOD-to-buffer tube fit, your measuring tape (shocker they aren't all exactly the same), and even how far the buffer tube is screwed in. Just get as close as you can using a non-NFA upper if you have one (I.e. measure with a 16" bbl, subtract the bbl length and add your shorter bbl length to that). You can always update the actual length with ATF once it's been manufactured Last question on Form 1 is Question 4H: It says additional Description. Do you guys leave this blank or do you put your Trust name, City & State? This box is for recording what will be engraved on your lower (i.e. name and location) I'm filling this out on Eforms so please keep that in mind if it means anything. Thanks. Wrote this on mobile so pardon the bad grammar. |

I believe I saw someone wanting to trade their Colt stripped factory 10.3" barrel for a 14.5" Colt or FN barrel.

I originally bought my NT4 in black because I was building up a MK18 Mod 0 clone. By the time I had my can approved, I had ditched that build (for a number of reasons--all having to do with personal preference, shooting experience, etc.). Fast forward to today and I keep seeing rad Block II builds (@TinyCrumb) and others who are running the taupe NT4.
I'm seriously considering having mine professionally Cerakoted in the correct KAC taupe, but also don't want to mess it up.     A few questions: (1) What, if any tradeoffs are there to having it Cerakoted third-party vs. how it would have been done at the KAC factory? (2) Will the media blasting have any issues with the intricate perforations of the outer portion of the can or is this no big deal? (3) How would one effectively back out those two pins to release the locking mechanism hardware and separate the gate attachment pieces from the can itself? (Some of these may be no-brainers for the Cerakote guy I am planning on using: kotedarms.com (Mesa, AZ); just would be nice to hand him the can without having to rely upon him to disassemble it.) Lastly, D.Wilson MFG had recently posted a photo of the Cerakote color they use to match the older KAC taupe. Is this the right color I would track down? Is there anything KAC would do differently at the factory to coat an NT4 suppressor to ensure longevity, coloring, etc. under high heat or am I over-thinking this?

Well, FWIW, I called Capitol Armory in Cedar Park, TX. They're a big suppressor dealer, Knight's Armament dealer, and offer suppressor Cerakoting/refinishing services. The gentleman said they have done the legacy NT4 cans in the past, but they're a bit of a pain. There's an additional charge to remove the hardware and they can't fully remove the gate latch itself due to what he said was a blind pin. He said the end result is you don't have a perfect coating of all the desired parts as they can't fully remove the hardware. Also, he didn't seem too concerned about getting an exact color match, which would've been important to me. So yeah, no sense in paying all that money + shipping/insurance both ways to have less-than-perfect results. Probably will just leave it alone or spray paint it neon blue splatter.

The ride continues for these lower receivers. Man these things are really only obtainable through buying the entire rifle. I'm hoping someone wants to get rid of an KAC lower, I'd skip the Colt M4 for that.

Just like with gunsmiths, they run the gamut from competent to "how do they stay in business." FYI, there are multiple ways of removing those blind pins (a small self-tapping screw or tacking a welding rod and using some pliers or a slide hammer, even putting grease down into the hole and using hydraulic pressure via a punch to force them out). For that matter, they bend fairly easily (just ask Spool, he bent one or both of his at the clone shoot); you could lightly bend them out, enough to grab with some pliers, and work them out since they aren't very deep with plenty of exposed pin. In other words, they can be removed if you're willing to replace the pins. Last I checked, all of the gate latch hardware, including the pins if I'm not mistaken, is available from Operation Parts. If you do decide to go ahead with it, make sure they are using Cerakote-C, which is the high temp variety. Personally, I'd probably do it if the price is reasonable; the main issue is getting the latch hardware out and that's not a huge deal. If it's between rattle-can and keeping it black, I'd just keep it black. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Socomike: Are Colt M4 lowers hard to find these days? I may have one laying in the bottom of the safe. They are not in stock online anywhere, and colt just started shipping 6920's again to retail distributors, good deals sell almost instantly. A week and a half ago there was a distributor with OEM-2 rifles for $749, and they sold all 65 of them in about 4 hours. Others online shops with 6920's seem to be selling them for $1100-1249 and they go rather quick. It's not exactly salad days anymore. |

Taupe is dope but black NT4s on Block IIs are sweet, too. Refinishing costs might be better spent on a new NT4.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FastCar: Guys, quick questions here: On the Form 1, Question 4D. It says "Model (As marked on firearm). What is the correct answer for this box since AR15 is NOT marked on the Colt gov't property lower i'm using? Next question on the Form 1 is Question 4F: What is the OAL of a SBR with LMT SOPMOD stock, milspec buffer tube, and 10.3" Colt barrel without the muzzle device attached? I'm seeing a bunch of different answers from 27.4" all the way to 29.5" and different answers like add barrel length plus 19" and i don't know what to use. Last question on Form 1 is Question 4H: It says additional Description. Do you guys leave this blank or do you put your Trust name, City & State? I'm filling this out on Eforms so please keep that in mind if it means anything. Thanks. Model is M4A1. I used the length as 28.8" You put what you engrave on the gun in 4H. |

I figure some Rustoleum and a lot of shooting it will be colored just fine anyway. |

Hey all, any KAC BUIS knowledge keepers in here? Have a question on a couple 97082's that I need to get on their appropriate clones. Can anyone tell roughly what era these are from besides the right one that is confirmed new production? I'm going to take a wild ass guess that the middle is the oldest, perhaps a good candidate for the late 90's SOPMOD, whereas the left is a good candidate for the lates 2000's mk18? Thanks in advance!
Right: New production Middle: Not sure, however things to note are the plastic aperture insert, it's not cut off at the bottom like the other 2. Also of note, the windage knob does not has the ball seat hole drilled all the way through. Full length threaded screw and gray clamp. Left: Not sure.

Appreciate the response on the cases. Now, has anyone seen ITW Geiselle maritime bolt catch? On really any builds?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: Appreciate the response on the cases. Now, has anyone seen ITW Geiselle maritime bolt catch? On really any builds? Negative. I am also not very fond of them. The make removing the hammer pin difficult. You'd think that a company that started out making triggers wouldn't make a mistake like that. |

That Aervoe is some tough stuff, too. While it doesn't see a ton of use compared to my Block IIs, it'd be showing far more visible wear with Rusto or Krylon by this point. The Aervoe is just barely starting to show wear on corners; with decent prep, it's surprising how well it holds up for rattle-can. |

Got my upper back together. Changed the DD upper for a colt cage code, and replaced the gas block with a Crane style MK12 block. (dimpled the barrel myself!)
Don't really like the RM45 surefire offset mount for the light, might just go back to the stock thumbscrew one. Also photo skills slowly getting better.
