New Uppers and a "new" offering from Colt for the FBI

[ABNAK]

Grant (GandRTactical) has what appear to be 11.5" SOCOM contour barrels from Colt which are, according to Grant, made for FBI HRT: Link.

So they may not be the same thing (HRT is apparently running Spuhr mounts for their Micros)... but I would suspect that they might be.

I thought HRT used HK416's?

From Link: This is a NEW (not a take off or cut down) Colt 11.5" Heavy Barrel (FBI HRT special order) 5.56 1/7 twist chrome lined barrel. HPT/MPI Tested with an M4 barrel extension and F marked FSB. Includes a barrel nut and handguard cap.

Not sure why anyone would want a FSB these days,

The use of the Troy Alpha rail is the only part of the equation that makes me wonder, "why"?

I would guess... GOV contracting doesn't work that fast.

Nope.

Troy Industries hired Dale Monroe to run their "Asymmetric Training Division."

Dale Monroe was the HRT spotter for Lon Horiuchi, and testified to a Senate panel that he was preparing to take the exact same shot that killed Vicky Weaver holding the kid at Ruby Ridge... but Horiuchi shot first.

Hire their dirtbag = government contracts.

CHA-CHING!

No. Regular ARs with Troy shit:



Half the organizations that supposedly use HK416s don't actually use HK416s.

(...and the HK416 aint all that.)

The guy on the right in your photo looks to have a Geissele handguard.



And this guy clearly has a 308. The shape of the gas block area makes me think it's an HK 417. Anecdotal of course.

Sure that pic isn't one of their regional SWAT teams as opposed to HRT? HRT shuns photos like CAG/DEVGRU, at least not without the faces-blurred kinda thing.

HRT may be moving away from 416's but I know they used to use them at least. A retired SGM I know went to Quantico and met some of them while he was interviewing for a domestic contractor gig run by a guy who used to be an HRT big-wig.

I have a 416 upper on an MR556 lower. It is a sweet piece but it is a safe queen. It is not my go-to SHTF weapon. Did I say it is a schweeeeet piece of machinery?

If it's a Geissele it isn't a 416 one. They only have one bolt to secure it just like the OEM HK handguard.

Some crazy setups there.

El CiD "Here is a photo of one of the POW rifles sent to me by an agent.."
Hmm, policy still hasn't changed back, it's still on lock down for what, 7 yrs or more? POW AR 15 rifles still not on the POW list (other than those grandfathered wayyy back), so we're not sure what the Agent's claim about that rifle pictured actually is.
