Very nice, Jeff…but where are the pics of the SF 556K can mounted to that flash hider?
Hopefully I’ll have the Form 4 back in 2 - 3 weeks. Until then, the Surefire can sits at my local FFL.
Changed a few things over the last few months:

I hope you don’t mind answering a question…
Why the change from the full lenght hand guard combo with KX3 and LMT front sight to the shorter hand guard with standard FSB/surefire combo?
I am trying to make up my mind on what to use for my SBR build and your opinion would be greatly appreciated…
Good choice on the CTR stock and T1 !!!
Thanks,
JC
Jeff,
I’m digging that FSB on the SBR now. Much nicer IMO.
I would like to ask what kind of pins are used in your FSB? They seem bright and shiny. Is the black finish just worn off, or did you use something other than Colt/etc taper pins?
Also, what is your procedure for cleaning a carbine like that after all that dust??? I’m just curious how you clean the EXTERIOR of the gun? Do you spray with some type of cleaner and then fine tune the cleaning, or what???
Just curious man!
I have tried numerous different configurations over the years and I prefer having a standard A2 front sight base on the gun as it’s the most durable set up for iron sights.
Weight, length, and the ability to mount a suppressor on the gun is what drove me to change the configuration of this gun.
As the gun was set up with the KX3, this gun was only 1.75" shorter than a 14.5" barrel with a perminately attached flash hider.
The KX3 was 8 oz, the difference in weight between the 7.0 vs. 11.0 rail is approximatley 5 oz. and that’s not including rail pannels, etc.
The difference in weight between the old set up and the new set up is approximately 1 lbs. (16 oz). The Surefire “k” can is 16 oz. and would only add approximately 2.75" to the over all length of the barrel (vs. the KX3).
When the Surefire “k” suppressor is mounted on the gun it’s approximatley the same weight as the gun was when it had the KX3 on it, will be less than 3" longer, and will be suppressed.
The FSB that came on the Bravo Company 11.5" barrel was cut down to fit under the LaRue 11.0 rail.
I had to order a new FSB brom Bravo Company. I didn’t know it at the time, but when you order a new FSB, they don’t come with the taper pin holes drilled. A gunsmith has to line everything up and drill new holes. The new FSB was attached by Steve at ADCO Firearms. I don’t know what kind of pins he used. The pins only look shiny in the pics. They are actually a dull grey in color.
I clean the dirt and sand off the same way I did when I was in the service. Use a paint brush and a rag to get a majority of the dirt and dust off. For hard to reach areas, hose it off with water and dry with compressed air.
S/F,
Jeff
was the move to the CTR just for weight? i assume so, because i can’t think of a more comfortable stock than the SOPMOD. will the gun end up to be front heavy with the surefire can and the lighter CTR?
Great minds and all that. This one will soon wear an Aimpoint Micro as well. Might eventually find a DD Omega rail for it as well.
Nice job, Rob.
How did you mount the surefire to the handguard?
Thats nearly identical to one of my carbines, except mine is a middie with an M4FA adapter and tangodown rail panels.
I like both the CTR and the SOPMOD. Different stocks feel better on different guns (balance / weight). The SOPMOD felt better when the gun had the longer rail and the 8 oz KX-3 on it. With the shorter rail, it feels lighter and better balanced with the CTR. Both stocks are extreemly comfortable. The SBR balances well with the Surfire “k” can on it.
Nice SBR rob_s…is it a new Colt or did you re-configure your 6933?
S/F,
Jeff
Man I’m really liking that SBR! Wish I could, but. . .
I have two 6933s. I was on the waiting list for one from the second batch when someone with an extra from the first batch needed some cash or something. I need to do some shots of the two of them together, along with some of the two 6520s together. Thanks for the idea! 
All of this needs to stop I am hereby starting a petition to stop Jeff from posting more pics of his rifles. You suck!!!
S/F,
Jeff
Very Nice Jeff
Really nice Jeff
That is the look that I am going to be going for with my SBR build…optic and all. Cant wait to get started on mine.
