Is anyone building a exact Sopmod Bloc II 14.5" upper clone?

I'm sure there's some examples in the photo thread, just search the site with google looking fro RIS-II and you'll probably get precisely that, and a few variants that aren't the exact Blk2.

They are all the time. Some people even build them not knowing they're building a "clone" configuration. It's just a good setup. They're literally a common sight in picture threads and everywhere else. :D

BCM sells their 14.5 and 16" uppers with the brown RIS-II rail installed.

I don't know exactly what else makes it "official", but that seems as good a place to start as any.

I guess I'll show my ignorance.... What is the configuration for the block II carbine?

I guess I'll show my ignorance.... What is the configuration for the block II carbine?

The SOPMOD Block II configuration is typically identified by the use of the 12" Daniel Defense RIS II railed handguard over a 14.5" M4 or M4 SOCOM profiled barrel. Front sight is often the older style KAC flip up. Muzzle device is typically the KAC QDSS flash hider for the NT4, but I suppose we'll start seeing the Surefire/BE Meyers (215A) flashhider.

I would go to Smartgunner.com and get a 14.5" DD upper receiver group with the 12" RIS II rail for $695, and then install the flash hider and BUIS separately by yourself.

My build is similar to the BLOCK II with changes to the Stock (UBR VS SOPMOD) and the fact that I am using a MEGA Ambi Billet Lower with Timney trigger instead of a Giessle.

Missing a PEQ15 don't know where to get one...lol...

Surefire Vampire 952v traded away...need to replace.......

and forget Thermal gear......wish I had some....

In a class it can get heavy with the Colt m4 socom barrel (I know)

I am almost done with my clone. I really like the setup. One small gripe is that the grenade launcher mounting tabs rattle around in the DD RIS II. They are difficult to remove because the gas block is right next to the grenade tabs. I'm not going to remove the entire rail because of a little rattle. I wish there were an easy way to secure the rattle.

Also, I couldn't justify buying the very expensive KAC BUIS so I am using Magpul Gen 2 BUIS.

Get some RTV sealant and give that a try. Use RTV Black. Apply it like you trying to "waterproof" the tabs. Let it dry, go out and shoot.

I'm tempted to go RISII with the AFG. I swayed away from it since I have a KAC trigger guard but... it seems it might work out.

That thing looks stunning, but knowing how much a SOCOM Profiled barrel and a UBR weigh, it's not something I'll ever buy again.

Sorry to Necro-Thread but the current logic for me at least on these types of rifles is to go to DD and get a carbine gas with RIS II, 14.5 inch barrel, permed (non NFA for me) FH.

Now before anybody gets all upset for that lack of judgement in making a SOPMOD clone, given the many levels of advice on the internet and from your own favorite instructor, buddy, cube-mate; Ill say this: the SOPMOD program tested and validated, using the most science so far in deciding what belongs on the rifle and what doesnt. I know each operator can do as they choose, but the SOPMOD program is an instant passing grade for me in terms of decision trees on equipment. The gear is proven and it works, no more need for me to search around for a "better answer." I can just move on and train with the rifle without second-guessing gear choices. Of course, the sopmod program choices work for me, they might not work for you.

Hmmm....except the light and optic, yes, I would agree. There is plenty enough data to show the Insight gear to be "second-guessed."

Agree on that as well (I go surefire x300/G2x Fury). Optic maybe as well. Original Sopmod was EOTech and Aimpoint and ACOG, no need to second guess those except use the updated versions when applicable.

I know the 553's with the A.R.M.S. mount are junk -they will slide back and forth on a rail with moderate usage and there is no way to adjust or change the mount. They are heavier than other RDS and the batteries are parallel to the barrel/recoil impulse. But what's the word on the M3X and M6X? I've used both those with pretty good results. Hadn't really heard of any big issues with those lights.

To the OP - I put this one together after I got a good deal on the rail. Decided to sell it though.

I am a fan of the Block II. In fact, when it comes to ARs, I prefer service rifle clones.

This is a pretty strict clone. All parts are Colt or the proper spec minus the stripped lower (Form 1), KAC trigger guard, and a few small parts from a G&R LPK.

I don't have any firsthand experience of Insight light failures, but I have an SF buddy who shared quite a bit of his. Also, I believe you can find some things on the web (but that goes for pretty much anything). I'll stick with Surefire, though.

I do believe the OP's was intending to ask if there were any manufacturers building Block II guns from the factory, and the answer to that is, "No." DD had a rifle they offered this year with the RIS II rail, so that's pretty close, but I think it still had the MOE stock like their other rifles.

Here are my 2 "clones" (if you can call them that). I haven't done anything deliberately to make them clones. I just chose parts and configurations that I like best and that work best for me. They just came out pretty close.

DD Form 4 MK18, T1/Larue, KAC 99051, Matech, BCM grip, B5 stock, Geissele SSA-E, Surefire 6PX in Gear Sector mount, Gear Sector Sling adapter, Blue Force Gear Padded VCAS, Magpul RVG, AAC 51-T Blackout (M42k pending)

DD lower, DD LPK, Giessele SSA-E, LMT tube, Noveske endplate, B5 stock, 14.7" Socom profile FN CHF barrel, BCM gas block, pinned by me, DD M4A1 RIS II FDE, Surefire G2X in Gear Sector mount, Gear Sector Sling adapter, Blue Force Gear padded VCAS, Danger Close/Lowpro Handstop, KAC 99051, Matech, ACOG TA11HG/Larue, AAC 51-T Blackout Perm'd (M42K pending)

Mine isn't a true clone but it has some similarities. IMO it's a very versatile setup and pretty accurate with the Noveske barrel and 1-4x Leupold. So much so that I'll probably never have another 16" or 18" SPR (unless its a 308) again.

If your arms mount is loose get some aluminum foil and fold it to make it a few layers thick and use it to tighten up the mount.

Nice rifles, Munch! Would you mind putting some numbers to that accuracy comment? I'm not challenging you, just wondering how your numbers compare to mine. I could only manage 1.7 MOA 10-shot groups with my 1,5-5 Mark IV when using match ammo. That was also with the LW DD barrel before I swapped to the FN. I've determined that realistically that's good enough for what I might need, but not super accurate. Is your Noveske barrel CFH or Stainless?

Thanks!

I used to own a Noveske built Block II-ish upper. It must be a popular configuration because a couple of Noveske dealers would keep these uppers in stock. That was before all the craziness happened of course. The RIS II rail is rock solid but it was just a little too heavy for my liking. I ended up selling it. Still regret it sometimes.

I really love the Block II, but I think it also has it flaws. I dont see any problem with someone building on it and improving on the original thought of it.

I agree with one of the posters above about using proven products, like the DD RIS II. I dont see any reason to use the LMT Sopmod when the B5 Bravo knocks it out of the water. Same with the Insight M3.

My very loosely based iteration of the block 2:

Regardless of the maker, every Sopmod I saw when I was in the Corps and deployed with a MEUSOC didnt have QD Sockets. Could have been older ones, especially on the Navy's M4's and MK18s. Either way, I see the Bravo as an enhacement of the Sopmod, even the Sopmod Enhanced from B5.

Here's my AR with it's new-ish upper that was "inspired" by Block II- I love the RIS II, and went SOCOM profile 14.5 to mitigate suppressor shift. I repainted it after that pic and I usually run a T1 as my ACOG is zeroed to my issue M4. A little heavy, but I love it.

If your arms mount is loose get some aluminum foil and fold it to make it a few layers thick and use it to tighten up the mount.

I've done it and it may be ok if your hard up, but using aluminum foil to make an optic properly fit a weapon doesn't do shit to inspire my confidence. Plus it's a pain in the ass if you actually remove and reattach the optic, which was the point of the 553 - a QD, elevated, EOtech. If I have the choice I'll stick with something that is going to work better than arms mounts, just imo.

As for factory guns, Colt did a limited run of 6920's with RIS II's. I guess that would be as close as you could get except for the 16" barrel.

It was called the LE6920 SOCOM II as opposed to the regular LE6920 SOCOM with the KAC RAS rail. I was seeing them at gun shows in mid-2012. Had a SOCOM profile barrel and a M4A1 roll mark. Pre-panic pricing was around $1600 if I remember correctly.

According to some posters in the Block II thread on TOS, the Green Berets are supposed to (finally) be getting RIS IIs and the RIS IIs they're getting are the FSP models.

When you say the FSB, forgive my ignorance if this is a dumb question, but do you mean the fixed front sight that was on the Colt SOCOM II's? If so, I have found, contrary to what I originally thought, I am a fan of the fixed front sight. I don't have to worry about it getting knocked off or coming loose. Though I prefer the looks of flip up sights, I have come to appreciate function over form with respect to my firearms. YMMV.

I've been thinking of something similar for my next build but with a few tweaks.

BCM 14.5" M4 upper (not SOCOM)
Centurion C4 12" rail
Surefire flash hider for SOCOM suppressor pinned
Surefire SOCOM 5.56 RC in tan
Surefire scout light
B5 SOPMOD in tan
Magpul MOE grip in tan
Aimpoint T1

While it wouldn't be a true clone, it would be very similar and probably work better for my needs. I prefer the Centurion rail because I can more easily work on it if needed.

My Block II M4A1 ish-clone. (T-1 is now on the other CQBR, and Comp M4 is on this guy)

Yeah pretty similar to that. Probably also gonna install the new Magpul steel sights to save a bit of coin over KAC. Trigger is gonna be a SD-C.

I already picked up the lower and a few other parts. Hopefully in a month I'll have the money to buy the SOCOM suppressor.

Here's my SOCOM II, I picked it up before the scare buying so don't feel ripped off after I saw these going for over 3K+ later. Love the extra length to hold onto but only run a X300 at 12 o'clock in front of the front sight. I later picked up a SOCOM I with the intention of selling the II. Still trying to make up my mind which to keep but I really like the extra hand room and where my light mounts, keeps a clean profile.

Back when the Mk18 was a Mod 0. Can see my little .22 plinker in there also.
