Got the old tr21 lpvo for the EOD build. Now I’m on the lookout for another used larue lt139 with 1” rings if anyone’s got a lead. Missed out on a period correct tr21 that had the old oval fiber optic, but was able to snag this one on the bay.

 Any RC2's hiding out in ITW pics? Still may be to early for them to be a common sighting. |

Spare parts to have on-hand. For those who know, is there an actual Colt "reliability kit" for the bolt or does one just piece it together? There was a short discussion several pages back where @krdt mentioned he's upgraded his extractor and used a Viton o-ring. I have Colt SP64026 on-hand. Is that extractor considered an upgrade or just a backup of what already comes standard in my Colt BCG? LaRue offers this kit, but is it what’s actually used in the field?

That extractor spring is the normal colt copper colored spring that should come in colt bolts. I bought a few of the BCM 3 packs for o-ring spares, you can also go to your local hardware store I think. |

I don’t think he knows exactly what he’s going for as he mentioned “(mod 0/mod 1?)” but given he wants a FSB I can only figure he’s either going for a Mk18 mod 0, Block 1 CQBR, or Block 1.5 CQBR/PR Thanks guys this helps a bunch, I guess I really just need to decide what I’m building at this point. For now I need to track down plenty of small common parts to stay busy with. Any certain delta ring correct or just as long as it’s a colt? Just using a standard colt usgi f/a bcg? Any certain date range I should pursue for the colt barrel? Would it even matter if I trimmed down a m4 barrel? If memory severs correct most markings are forward of the fsb. |

Any certain date range I should pursue for the colt barrel? Would it even matter if I trimmed down a m4 barrel? If memory severs correct most markings are forward of the fsb. Barrel date is behind the FSB, under the handguards. Barrel markings are near the muzzle. Barrels get replaced as they are shot out so a current barrel can be correct. Just like a M1 getting a new barrel. Never seen/noticed any manufacturer codes on any delta ring. For spare parts, just a bolt assembly (complete) at a minimum CD |

I'm concerned about my 10.3" FN SOCOM barrel having a gas port that looks smaller than the 10.3" Colt barrel gas port.
I have numbered drills somewhere around I can use to gage them a bit, but they do look different in diameter. The FN gas port looks like M4 size, but I know they should be only slightly larger. Maybe the finish or oil on one makes it look different from the other. If I find a difference, I am thinking about opening the FN gas port up to the Colt size before installing the gas block. I don't recall my last FN barrel gas port looking quite that small. |

i can use them to get an idea as I think they are every 0.002" or 0.003", but not every 0.001". |

I'm surprised to them due to the snag factor. Those things stick way out there. weird. Could be the anodizing? Idk though. If it is small, it Should run well suppressed at least depending on what combo of buffer/ammo you run. Or port it out. It's prolly fine though. edit-just read about the chamfer difference.

Maybe the finish or oil on one makes it look different from the other. If I find a difference, I am thinking about opening the FN gas port up to the Colt size before installing the gas block. I don't recall my last FN barrel gas port looking quite that small. edit-just read about the chamfer difference. Probably all it is. Even if the Colt barrel gas port is chamfered, the FN gas gas port just looks too small, very similar to an M4 gas port. Top to bottom Daniel Defense, Colt, FN, Daniel Defense

Oh, and the tolerance for the hole is probably +/-.0005 so anywhere between .0695" and .0705" would be acceptable. Just because a .069" pin fits and a .070" pin doesn't fit doesn't mean it has a .069" gas port.

I think a number 51 drill is 0.067" and number 50 drill is 0.070". This just, "looks" smaller than usual. |

I have no idea what gas port size is on my barrel and it shoots every time.

I’m considering filling in my gas port altogether and going bolt action. The final solution to gas problems
