Following the SOPMOD Block II program to upgrade the U.S. Special Operation Forces Operator's main weapon system, the URG-I (Upper Receiver Group - Improved) was phased in for service in 2018.
Since then, the URG-I has become the "multipurpose" upgraded M4A1, frequently seen in the hands of the latest generation of U.S. SOF operators.
How well does the latest (and possible the last) upgrade of the M4A1 perform? We take a standard Geissele "near-clone" M4A1 upper to the range for testing.

I was one of the first 91F to convert uppers to the URGI configuration and I can't thank you enough for explaining to the clone community that we use multiple vendors. We had rosco mfg for the first couple of runs and I will put money on there being at least 2 other companies supplying barrels due to how fast the m855a1 is killing barrels. Clone guys are wild out here saying it's this and that when it's multiple suppliers. When we fist started the conversion they hadn't even finished the maintenance plan for replacement parts. So it literally can be anyone outside of rosco mfg now.

When it comes to Cloning rifles: my interpretation has usually been 1) Does it look like the target item & 2) is it in the spirit of the target item. I was a 91F, and yeah, you get components made by different subcontractors. As long as it meets spec, it doesn't matter who made it. When you start cloning something, it really comes down to how pedantic you want to be about it. Usually the more pedantic you want to be, the less likely it is your friends will want to hear about it.

To touch on the replacement parts procurement side of things, the reason why "mil spec" exists is for this very reason. Mil spec is not in fact garbage, the requirements for something to be actual, real, "mil spec" are quite specific, and the testing requirements for mil spec are extremely rigorous. Mil spec even goes so far as to make hard requirements on how waste material will be disposed of during manufacturing, because they consider scrap to be a component of the classified data package. This is what allows the Military to go to basically anybody with the full technical package of what they need and have those parts made, and it goes well and beyond firearms and firearms accessories as well. End of the day, the Military doesn't care who made the barrel, who made the hand guard, who made the pins, what they care about is, is it a cold hammer forged barrel of such length, finished as required? Is this hand guard compatible with the ones they're using, and is equivalently designed? Are these pins made to ANSI specifications?

@9HoleReviews Ай бұрын

completely agreed. I also think people sling the term "mil-spec" around as a marketing term, ignoring that they meet a series of "mil-standards".

@Thexeroxed43 Ай бұрын

People like tossing "milspec" in with "lowest bidder" as if the two are interchangeable also, not realizing that the specification is going to be met by company A and B the same, regardless of if company B charges more. Best part of milspec is knowing if I snag a part for a gun, that it will physically fit with other milspec parts (provided the QC was done properly).

“Made by the lowest bidder” yes, to specification. Not NCstar zero quality control. I think “OEM” is a decent analogy, there are better parts for more money, but that doesn’t mean the OEM or milspec is utter garbage.

@@9HoleReviews 100%. That also said, if they knew the extensive gauging and destructive testing a lot of genuine manufactured to mil-spec standards requires, a whole lot of people would be singing a completely different song about certain manufacturers and mil-spec in general. There's a reason why a PSA AR15 can be bought for 500$, while an FN AR15 made from parts coming off their M4 lines, despite PSA and FN sharing several OEM manufacturers for things like BCG's, costs twice as much.

In 2020 Geissele release their clone correct version, then retired it. Then re-release the Geissele near clone in 2023. Before that The DD mid-length barrel became hard to source, so the Armory that built mine, built it with military contract equivalent with a FN 14.5" CMV 4150 chrome-lined Government profile mil spec phosphated barrel with a DD MK12 gas block and NSN Surefire 4-prong flash hider.

@@Chief74 the Mk12 gas block is so close to the inner diameter of the handguard that flex from shooting could cause contacts, which could mess up the consistency of barrel harmonics. During testing phase, several different gas blocks, including the Mk12 and G's own Super Block, were used, but only super low profile gas blocks, like the stock Daniel Defense, was the best match. Honestly, most low profile gas blocks out there would do just as good. I have B King's gas blocks that wouldn't be anywhere too far from a Daniel Defense block.

The process of forging the bolt just creates far more strength, on top of the fact they work directly with Carpenter steel to produce the C158+ which is stronger in and of itself to begin with.

Awesome video, as always. I especially enjoyed geeking out on your commentary on logistics. I was a 30-year logistician, and NSN's and CAGE codes are very nostalgic to me.

That IMI 77 gr is great stuff, really adds legs to 5.56 guns.

Y’all’s content with these rifles has convinced me to invest in one of those uppers whenever they’re available again.

"It's not a real URG-I because it doesn't have the DD barrel" please view 21:40 to see what Henry thinks about cloners and their "TDP talk" For those interested in the accuracy breakdown vid of the various uppers, it's available here: Geissele Accuracy Showdown kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNR-ha9kzcuYj58.html

@paulsciria8921 Ай бұрын

I’ve heard of some socom units allegedly just buying the uppers straight from Geissele. Like Henry kinda mentioned. Also Geissele may just start using their barrels on the ones going to the army.

Same as B5 making the sopmod stocks, and P&S products making RIS/RAS rails, vert grips, rail covers. They also have made waffle stocks, M4,& CAR handguards that are marked 4U485. Even upper receivers have been made by other companies besides Colt, and FN. I have a M4 stamped above the gas tube that with a "1KW91" instead of a C above the forward assist, that was an actual fielded upper. So, yes there are plenty of companies that make many of the parts.

The geissele chf barrels are better than the DD CHF barrels. Thee DD barrel is a government profile barrel.

Ah the 779XXXX slides. Great stuff. A bunch of those arrived in the Philippines in the late 1980's and 1990's and later into private hands. Competition shooters used these slides to build IPSC set ups.

I have one each 16” and 14.5” Geissele barrels on two very nice rifles I’ve built. Both shoot sub 1 MOA with 5 shot groups (AAC 75gr). They are both very well gassed rifles and very pleasant to shoot. I’m sold on their barrels and it was good to see your results.

When I heard about the URGI a few years ago, I wanted one but when Geiselle offered(with the DD barely then) them I decided to get a super duty upper instead(14.5) I was so impressed with it that I needed a spare and got 16” SD. My 14.5 shoots better than the 16. Every time I buy something that ends up a let down, I end up replacing it with a Geissele.

To me the Black SD is the better deal by far. Same EXACT rifle, same internals same rail but a better tapered barrel profile, and several hundred $ cheaper just because the rail is black and not FDE lol I jumped on that bitch quick.

@bubba5497 Ай бұрын

Used the block 1 and then the mk18 in the military, great guns. Used and abused those things. Bought an 11.5 super duty(urgi) cause I didn’t want the same exact gun as my issued but close enough. I was so impressed I bought the 14.5 urgi. Definitely a huge improvement, even with the bolt and carrier system. Super soft shooting and suppresses very well.

Regarding the collecting and cloning world sometimes the military will do other things that also make it more complicated. With the M17 pistol the very first pistols delivered to the Army had FDE controls on FDE frames and slides. So Sig sold a collector's edition on the commercial market that had FDE controls while the base commercial M17 had black controls on FDE frames and slides. But then the Army decided they didn't want FDE controls so not only did new pistols get delivered with black controls (on FDE frames and slides) they sent back all the early pistols for black controlled replacements. So is the M17 with FDE controls clone correct or only the one with black controls? It depends on the the unit and the year you use as a reference. That's just a recent example I'm familiar with, I can only imagine what other stories could be told about different weapons in different eras with different militaries.
