My current WIP-

Hilo , between this and the cqbr clone, you my friend have great taste in firearms!

 

[Tarrantula]

My wallet can't take all these awesome build threads

 

[flying_scotsman]

Who makes those sling mounts?

Edit:
Ok, once I zoomed in, the front is DD.

 

[greentips]

I did a build with the RAS 2 awhile ago, I used a light weight CHF bbl instead of the M4A1 heavy bbl. I also used a 4 prong FS instead of the KAC FS, since I don't have access to a sound suppressor. I also used a surefire mini-scout dual wl/iR head instead of the insight M3.

The DD RAS2 is the most robustly mounted rail out there. The fact that the rail mount does not torque on the barrel nut is a great design. There is no way one can screw up the installation of the RAS2.

I love the M4's.

Looks like I have a cousin of yours hilo71.

 

[Garden Gnome]

nice guns! CAnt wait until i get my first ar-15

 

[Rapier46]

Who wanna go trade their coyote sopmod stock for a brand new FDE sopmod stock? Mine is a B5 systems sopmod

 

[derrob7]

If your talking about the LMT stock it is FDE. It does look like coyote brown but it isn't. I have a B5 systems FDE which is lighter in color but I like the fit and feel of the LMT better, although it is pricier. That's why the EE is so good!

 

[Rapier46]

Yeah. I can do with the FDE B5, but the coyote is better. Hard to find though.

 

[iloveak47]

Ill revive this thread hoping someone can help me find an m4a1 risII

 

[iloveak47]

So the build begins, i just received my ris 2 fsp rail. Merry christmas to me!

 

[Tarrantula]

Congrats! Post some pics when you get it going

My 2 BlockII uppers back in the US both are colt uppers, colt bcg, colt socom 14.5" carbine gas barrels with pinned SF 4 prong socom flash hiders, KAC Mk12 Taupe front sights, Matech rear sights, Lanco Gripstop one with a SU-231A marked EXPS 3-0 the other with a Aimpoint CompM4 on a LaRue LT659 mount. One is also running a SF M600P fury scout.

 

[iloveak47]

Already posted is in the mk18 thread but i figured i should post here too!

For now i have rail and barrel! Need a correct upper instead of the ugly one i have on now and it will be a good start

 

[Rebel Rouser]
