HAHA, that’s awesome. A fake auto sear pin engraving would have been the icing on the cake, but I guess we can’t have it all.

Ah! Freedom of Expression! A little circular tool mark 'in just the right place' would attract way too much attention, but that would be fun to show off alongside my copies of works by Ayn Rand and Ted Nugent.
Odd that NS can bring in M4 and M16A4 replicas with the (supposedly) RCMP-verboten, baby-killer "Auto" engraving when Rampart got shut down on importation of the extremely similar Troy 50th Anniversary XM177E2s and GAUs. The only difference is that the Troy carbines also feature the fearsomely destructive, kitten-squishing "pin" engraving. Surely the Mounties' sole reason for prohibiting import of the Troy firearms cannot be the shallow engraving of a 2mm-diameter circle on the Lower Receiver? I suppose when they can prohibit an entire shipment of VZ58 Sporter rifles based solely on an ironically defiant "Molon Labe" engraving, anything is possible. And we are supposed to respect the rules and regulations dictated by these very same vindictive, kill-joy fvcktards. It really makes you wonder how the inmates gained control of the asylum....
Nice guns but these are not made in the same factory as military production line at FN the M4A1/M16A4’s are not allowed by Colt to make a TDP Rifle for commercial sale. If any of the TDP is used on these guns Colt USA would sue them too oblivion. They look great though.
It’s a MATECH rear sight
I’m assuming your talking about the rear
It’s adjustabke for range of the rifle not a grenade launcher accessory
It’s a really nice rear sight and I’m glad I own 2
FN very more than likely is using parts rejects to make these civilian guns. The TDP contains absolutely everything to make a gun for the DOD, from metal alloy compositons, metrology inspection processes, manufacturing processes, machining steps, surface finishing processes, surface metal hardness, through metal hardness, final surface finishes hardness and color, etc. You wouldn't believe how insanely throughout the M4/M16 TDP is. Colt, FN and all manufacturers who make guns for the DOD have inspection laboratories.
If a part or a batch of parts doesn't meet the requirements highlighted in the TDP specs exactly, it can't be used to make DOD guns. A blotchy finish on a part that doesn't fit into the allowed pallet of colors and light reflection is rejected. Those are the parts that get used to make civilian guns. Doesn't mean the parts are bad or inferior, they simply don't meet the TDP.
For example I'd wager they got around the TDP for these civilian lowers by not grinding off the forging flash from the raw forgings, as we can see in the pictures.
That "separate factory" myth is the same thing as Remington's "special separate 870 Police factory". It doesn't exist, it's make-believe.
