ANNOUNCEMENT Future Updates to the Wiki

24 Upvotes

Over the course of the next few weeks/ months, I would like to update/ finish the subs wiki. Hopefully it can become a resource for both beginner and experienced cloners in an easier digestibly format then the ARFCOM threads. That being said, I alone do not have the knowledge of every U.S. platform out there nor the time to prioritize this. So I’m opening it up to community for help.

The goal will be to not only have the same format that the mk12 rifles currently have in the wiki but to also expand upon this format to distinguish between branches and possibly even different time frames. This way, it wont be just another list of components w/o context to them.

If you would like to contribute to this, feel free to submit your writings. Of course each user will be given credit. That being said, the info needs to be 100% correct/accurate.

M16 FN M16A4

I just purchased this FN M16A4 Classic AR15. I am quite excited for it. I have an A2 handle I’m going to attach to it. Maybe in the future I will put an Acog on it, but for now, I will keep it as simple as possible. Now I just need to wait for it to arrive to the FFL and wait another 10 days for the BG check. I’m sure the wait will be worth it.

Is this legit?

I thought I was buying a clone knights M4 Rail. Got it home and realized it had been spray painted. I scraped some off on the bottom handguard and I see odd number T marks. Starting to think it's real... but I honestly have no idea.

My M203 QD bracket and leaf sight came in today. Just need a PEQ-2.

I added a lick of Rust-Oleum khaki which will wear very nicely.

I’m new to cloning and my rifle isn’t finished yet but just wanted to share something I got from wet worx for 80 shipped. KAC micro BUIS new in package USMC marked. Had to get 2 of them. I’ve always wanted a KAC micro sight but never wanted to pay the money and couldn’t pass this up. Super exited to add it to my build.

Question SU-231A on Block 1.5?

Post image
78 Upvotes

Are there any other photos of the SU-231A (or COTS EXPS3) being used on the Block 1-type M4 or CQBR? It's a great looking combination. I've seen a lot of SU-231s and older EOTechs, but this is the only pic I found of the one in question. Any other reference pics would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know "Block 1.5" isn't correct, but it's what people know an M4/CQBR with KAC RAS and Block 2 accessories as, so I'm running with it)

EDIT: much thanks to everyone for providing reference photos.

Question Why did the FBI choose the 10" rail?

4 Upvotes

Like the title says, why did the FBI choose the 10" rail for their rifles when most everyone else runs a 10.5" rail? Does anyone have any rationale for this decision?

Does anybody have any sort of breakdown of who OEMs for B. Kings? I’m specifically interested in who made the barrel and the quad rail of this upper, as well as their upper receivers

Quick search said this is an emco upper. Is it rare? Was it used for any clone rifles? Thanks a bunch!

After a long parts hunt, I’m finally calling this one complete. For now.

The build started with an authentic surplus complete 10.4” HK416 upper assembly. It retains the factory QR code and includes the original:
HK chrome-lined 10.4” barrel
HK bolt carrier group
HK charging handle
Non vented gas block
AAC 51T Blackout flash hider / suppressor mount

I had an Gigliotti Rifle Works lower engraved with RAID Research markings and had the serial number engraved to match the original upper.

Current Build:
Authentic surplus complete HK416 10.4” upper
Factory QR-coded upper receiver
Original HK chrome-lined barrel
Original HK BCG
Original HK charging handle
Original AAC 51T Blackout mount
AAC M4-2000 suppressor
Gigliotti Rifle Works lower
RAID Research engravings
Matching serial number
HK lower parts kit
HK receiver extension with maritime drain holes
EOTech EXPS3-0
Magpul CTR (FDE)
HK vertical grip

Is this genuine Colt?

Hello. Seller is claiming this is genuine Colt waffle stock. It does look like govt. issue because of the marker pen on the top of it. However, the spray paint and the A7-01 looks like someone just made it home.

Can somebody elaborate if this is genuine Colt (according to the mould marks and the smoothness of the surface)?

Can somebody elaborate if this is USGI?

Fit is very tight (the most tight I ever had), it's probably milspec – fits very good my BCM milspec buffertube.

I attached my second genuine USGI FN CAGE waffle stock for comparison.

Question LVAW Folks

1 Upvotes

Purchased a 16" 1/6 twist Legacy MCX with the KM stock and Space Magic Rail.

My question is what are my options for 6.75 1/5 twist barrel to make it clone correct?

What plays with the Gen 1 "square tapered lugs?" Since a clean OG Gen 1 6.75 is pretty much unobtainium at this point.

I keep seeing that a Rattler LT 6.75 barrel and bolt will work and then some people are telling me it won't play well in the upper. Obviously I couldn't just buy the barrel since the Gen 1 is square tapered and the LT is tapered. (SKU 8901526)

What are my options outside of finding that rare gem?
