CD or LSU or anyone else, I apologize profusely if this is an amateur question, but are QR codes ever seen on Mk18 Mod 1's or is that strictly a commercial thing Colt does?

No. They don't have hot-dog selectors, "COLT" roll marks, shaved off selector stops, engraved lettering, or 'CR' prefix serials either. Colt knows this of course, but still this is what we get. |

Haven't seen any colts with em. I've seen a few FN M4a1s with a similar matrix.
 Attached FileSo in theory there could MAYBE, be an FN one out there remarked with 18-1. But also could be wrong. FN 18-1 below.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cowbell: In stock, correct and a reasonable price? That's not how this is supposed to work When I first got into cloning I tried assembling a complete SU-233 kit. That base riser (and the red light filter) were impossible to find back then. Someone outbid me on eBay by $500 for that mount alone. Now surplus Insights have flooded the market and those parts are everywhere. Turns out this hobby is very timing dependent. |
