Welp, in the process of parting out my Block II style recce to build back up an M16A4 clone.
I'm torn between going KAC/ACOG vs plastic handguards/carry handle. Obviously the latter is much cheaper and lighter, but not as cool or fun. Here's a couple examples of my past A4s.

I just acquired three very nice FN A4 uppers in the white. One is F marked (might keep that one) and the other two have no markings at all. They do not have M4 ramps.
If any of you guys are interested in them either cerakoted or norrell's moly resin'd to your spec, email me. I can match most any anodizing. |

My humble budget-minded A4 clone. Not 100% parts correct, but it's close enough for me. Read through the whole thread, inspired me to take apart a 16" M4gery and start this build
 only part I bought new was the BA barrel assembly, everything else I had or bought second hand/used.
Currently only have the IPotato pics Aero Precision blem upper receiver Tactical Machining 80% lower Ballistic Advantage 20" govt. profile barrel S&W Carrier / Toolcraft Bolt Stag A2 buttstock assembly Colt carry handle & grip PSA LPK KNS pins KAC M5

After seeing all these recent gorgeous service images, had to bring mah rifle back to A4 specs (well, at least close).
In its A4 configuration this weapon is truly a beautiful classic that will stand the test of time, just like all its predecessors.

You could just run a dcm freefloat tube & mod the kac m5 ras in order to mount it. would be like the A4s pictured a few pages back. As you said the ff Kac, while cool, is not really clone.

If you left it on the weapon, the armorers would often taken them off and throw them into the bin to be issued out later <shrugs> "weapons rack" was the easiest example I could give. The units I was associated with would reverse them while out on field exercises. The problem was their slip buckles were getting knocked off the mount every time the rifle's butt plate was placed on the deck (Not sure how to describe it). The simple "fix" was to reverse the sling so that the slip buckle hung from the forward sling swivel, rather than getting bumped off the rear one every time the weapon stock hit the dirt. I can't speak for how the Marines are doing things these days, but that was how it was during the A2 & early-A4 days for those I served with. |

I was in durring the same period. Most guys in my company attached the slide buckle end around the delta ring or used 550 cord around the delta ring.
I never saw anybody ever place the jclip anywhere but the buttstock? What kind of unit were you in and where? I wonder if that was an east coast thing or something. I was an 03 at k-bay fwiw |

Anyone interested in an A4 upper with no feedramps?
I have three of these in the white---one is FN Cerro forge, the other have no markings. All have T Marks. The guy I got them from said they're all FN, but I can't confirm on the non-marked ones. They could be RRA for all I know, or they could be the early "phantom" FN stuff (which would be uber rare, and awesome). I was going to Cerakote them Armor Black to mimic flat chaulky anodizing, but figured I'd check here first to see if you guys had any interest, and/or in a different color. I can also do custom mixes of Norrell's Moly Resin to mimic mid to late 80's dark gray. If interested, email me.

My kind-a-sorta M16A4 clone in the making (no FN or Colt parts utilized).
Had Jason at Andro Corp ind. build me a A4 upper using a Ballistic Advatage 1/7" Gov't profile barrel. The lower is one of the Aero Precision M16A4 marked lowers. Not exactly gov't markings, however, they are marked: SAFE, SEMI, and BURST. Side-bar: I don't think AP has sold many of their complete A4 clone rifles or lowers, as mine is a low 2 digit serial number.  " />

My kind-a-sorta M16A4 clone in the making (no FN or Colt parts utilized). Had Jason at Andro Corp ind. build me a A4 upper using a Ballistic Advatage 1/7" Gov't profile barrel. The lower is one of the Aero Precision M16A4 marked lowers. Not exactly gov't markings, however, they are marked: SAFE, SEMI, and BURST. Side-bar: I don't think AP has sold many of their complete A4 clone rifles or lowers, as mine is a low 2 digit serial number. http://<a href=http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad318/RBMIII/20151223_133054.jpg</a>" /> http://<a href=http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad318/RBMIII/20151223_133014.jpg</a>" /> It looks awesome. |

You could just run a dcm freefloat tube & mod the kac m5 ras in order to mount it. would be like the A4s pictured a few pages back. As you said the ff Kac, while cool, is not really clone. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FlDiveCop71:

Do you know what needs to be done to make an m5 ras fit over a dcm tube? I'm also assuming that would start to get pretty heavy. |

If I'm not mistaken that FF sleeve is close to 1lb, and that RAS is just short of 1lb? |

Remove the het shield and then you will have to see how much metal you need to remove from the inside of the rail in order to get the RAS to close around the float tube. It is really quite easy.

They have ACOGs with Larue mounts at Parris Island now? And for 4th Bn too...what a waste. We had 20 year old M16A2s and that wasn't even 10 years ago.
In all seriousness, good for her. Pic thread:
