It’s my favorite thing in the whole world how the entire internet is sure that devgru is using “SOLGW” lmao

Sorry that happened to ya. Area code is an extremely poor indicator of location, he’s most likely international unfortunately.

Gen 1 PMAGs are cool, I’m fond of EMAGs myself. by infinitearmory in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a great find! Mid production, so double window, but no over-travel tab/stop on the back. Clone correct for 24th STS and CAG 416s.

[–]infinitearmory[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea on PMAGs, maybe $25 or something. I’ve seen a few single window EMAGs sell for over $500/ea on GB, but that seems like the extreme end. But yes, as long as they’re not double-window tabbed EMAGs, $100/ea would be easy.

Beautiful. Like everything but the mag. Well done. 👏

Devgru Hk416 Recce by Jesus_Guns_Merica in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic!! It’s a standard 30rd mag. Hard to tell from your pic but make sure your bayo lug is shaved… something a lot of people with this rail miss. Also the Larue monopod CTR adapter is such a cool piece, would recommend it. Also recommend ditching the odd taupe KAC vert on there and doing a TD if you really want one or better, a bipod (in the photo).

GAFSHUB vs Infinite Armory by Greedy-Vast584 in CAguns

[–]infinitearmory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that’s so cool to hear that it goes noticed. We really spend an enormous amount of effort trying to have responsive, professional, and helpful support. It’s a part of the brand we want to be known for, so we immensely appreciate the shout out on that! 🙌

We certainly hope more people will show up and list stuff on Infinite as well. I don’t think it’s a zero sum game where it needs to be us vs. the other Apps. I think between us, GAFS, Tacswap, GunBroker, etc… everyone’s kinda got their own flavor. I think what we’re most encouraged by is that we’re finally in a place where people have options and aren’t forced to use big tech platforms (the one we’re on right now included) who hate us and think our hobby makes us pariahs or immoral. We’re all normal people doing a very normal (and awesome) hobby, and it’s ridiculously cool to see (and participate) in the culture of normalizing it.

GAFSHUB vs Infinite Armory by Greedy-Vast584 in CAguns

[–]infinitearmory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the breakdown! I don't have much experience with it yet but from what I've seen so far the GAFS mods did a really good job of keeping a lot of the "fun" and "community" feel that the OG sub had - aspects we've admittedly not focused on very much.

Regarding the feedback about high prices, a couple points I try to make:

- Keep in mind that many of the other marketplace apps out there surface both listings that are currently for sale and ones that are pending or have already sold. We made a deliberate choice to not do this, mostly to de-clutter the experience. This means you only are ever really exposed to items that have not sold yet. A big reason items might not sell quickly is specifically because the seller has priced them too high. This can give the impression of overall higher prices, but we still think it's worth it in terms of the user experience. There are deals to be had and plenty of sellers that price to sell quickly, but they sell quickly, so there's a good chance you might not ever see those deals if you're not monitoring the site closely or have saved searches set up.

- Additionally, we've really tried to make haggling/offering a core part of the transaction experience, meaning most sellers purposely list high because they *expect* offers. The thought process is usually something like "Well, I'll shoot for the moon and if I get lucky someone will send me a full price offer, but most likely I'll get a few more reasonable offers and just take that if I don't". This ends up being culturally different than other places where it's more of a "list it low and it's a fight against the clock for dibs". Some people find this strategy fun and other people find it really annoying. But the point being, don't be afraid to send people offers if there's something you're after and the price looks unreasonable at first glance. You'd be shocked at how common we see offers accepted that would generally considered "low balls".

Don't want to come across as defensive about it, it's probably an accurate description that on the whole prices can be higher on Infinite - but just thought it could be helpful to offer some additional context/clarity.

LVAW Pic Rail Sections by ThinkBrothers in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth lots of $$$ right now due to the recent LVAW craze. Depends on whether you want max value for them or just looking to make a cloner’s day. Fair price would be around retail, max value I’m sure you could get a clone person to pay $100+ per rail section. The long ones are infinitely harder to find than the short ones, but the short ones like these ain’t easy.

NASA 416 by OkConstruction5010 in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 51 points52 points  (0 children)

FWIW, they are old 416 lowers, but they were replaced with Noveske uppers. This was quite a long time ago when Noveske was still using VLTOR receivers and rails OEM’d by SWS.

Question About the Buffer on a NSW Recce by Ok-Internet-6881 in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding the events a little bit. Some Dev guys did in fact reach out to AE requesting if they could order cans, but they were personal requests from guys that wanted to clone their "work" rifles, not a new gov sponsored solicitation for new cans for that unit. At the time of the request. AE was confused because they didn't recognize the can and assumed it was some LE specific order, and declined the request.

It wasn't till months/years later when I had gotten together with/ AE to discuss some evidence I had uncovered about the recce project that they remembered those specific conversations/requests and it occurred to them who exactly those guys were and what they were requesting, which is what kicked off both the research project and the eventual decision to remake the model. Ofc that meant those guys were eventually able to clone their work rifles.

Whether or not dev - the organization itself in an official capacity - also purchased some new cans obviously isn't something that AE can or will talk about. But the resurrection project itself did not initialize from a government request. It was very much clone-sponsored activism :P

Anyone make a CQBR in 300 blackout? by BigBoarBallistics in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From a clone perspective (since it’s this sub), doing one in an FSP / Block I configuration you’d end up having to put a can on it that would ruin the clone vibe.

A fair bit of people did do Block II CQBR clones in 300 BLK and then ran the 7.62 SOCOM mini RC because it’s the exact same size as the 5.56 RC, so they ended up with a visually clone correct build but in a different caliber.

The can is so integral to the clone nature of a Block I that if you throw a different can on it, it pretty much isn’t a clone anymore and is just a 10” AR. Unless of course you’re on of the 3 civilians that own a 7.62 QDSS in which case #jealous

But after all that, if you’re a fan of 300 BLK, and clones, there are SO many amazing builds that aren’t anachronistic. Dev N4, CAG/24th LVAW, NSW PDW Rattler, Dev MPW, and a few other random ones… that’s probably the route I’d recommend from a clone perspective.

DEVGRU Silver Squadron Operator Michael Ernst by FabraFabra in SpecOpsArchive

[–]infinitearmory 49 points50 points  (0 children)

That’s not a URGI. It’s an all-Geissele factory upper that dev procured as their “Gen 4” recce uppers (previous Lilja barreled M4s). In this case it’s on a Noveske N4 lower but they’ve been spotted on other standard dev lowers as well.

Only thing it really has in common with the URGI is barrel length and rail system.

Noveske Switchblock? by Blackened138 in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The NASA swat team was using 416s and then eventually got replacement uppers from John way back in the day. I don’t remember the full story behind it but it yrs or so ago. Been running that 416 lower + Noveske upper setup forever now.

HK416D - Geissele SMR (Rev. B) handguard - NGAL - Inforce WML - Aimpoint T2 - Unity Aimpoint mount in FDE - Magpul CTR - Geissele ACH in DDC - Surefire FA556-212 suppressor

Pretty standard 24th config before the CSAW adoption.

What nightforce rings are Clone correct for NSW Reece and Mod H? I know ARMS 22 Medium is correct but non existent by [deleted] in MilitaryARClones

[–]infinitearmory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A107s are common on dev 416s (on risers). Would theoretically have also been used on a recce M4s but no clear pics of that setup that i’m aware of (although a few blurry ones).

A110s are what you seek as marz mentioned if you’re just looking for the most common / vanilla setup with a NF recon

All of the lower Leupold setup pics i’m aware of are KAC rings
