I was going to say Midwest Industries makes a nice fsp carbine quad rail. Just ordered a brand new FDE one for $140 shipped.
Block 2 builds are a challenge. Not 100% correct, but somewhat close. I settled on a black FSP and gave up looking for a FDE RIS II. Base gun is a Colt 6920, haven't converted to the 14.5 SOCOM Barrel with pinned muzzle because it would be almost impossible to remove the RIS II (unless a smith removed the pinned muzzle). This thing weighs a ton compared to other builds. It's a good shooter though.
Early in BlockII, my gun retained the silly gov profile barrel, so you're not too far off. I'm planning a clone of it and considering getting a 6920 barrel cut to 15" and pinning a KAC QD flashhider on it, so as to get as close as possible without a stamp. (Don't want to have to sell it if I move). Too bad I can't match the SN.
Fair points, thanks. Favorite gun for making bacon.
Makes sense, I think I read somewhere in the past that being the case. As dumb as the gov profile is, I prefer it over the SOCOM profile for this build. That RIS II is a heavy girl and makes the gun front heavy for me.
In regards to handguards, I know the DD is the only clone correct piece, but I just noticed Centurion had 12" C4 with FSP cutouts on their website this week. With the scarcity of DD handguards on the market, I think one of those would make a good alternative for somebody who doesn't care to be 100% clone correct.
I found a used RIS II on gunbroker a couple of weeks ago for $350 shipped. I placed it on a colt oem 1 and it looks like a nice start to a quasi clone. Long story short, I think some deals can still be found on the dd rails.
