Quote History Quoted: For me, it was having to make a choice between the regular MK18 rail and the FSP one. I chose the full rail at the time. I've since built a Mod 0 clone, and really wish I had that extra real estate on the rail. I'm really digging shooting that MOD 0 right now, above my other AR's, and now that that is my go to, if I could buy a FSP, I would.
Contrarily, as a cloner, though the Surefire 4 prong is one of the unobtainum pieces everybody drools over, I personally could care less about it, even having a SOCOM can. It's not so much wanting what I can't have just because it's no longer around, it's more a matter of later realizing I would like something, but being too late to get it... without paying a good price for it.
That said, because of that, I'm looking at other options, and will just remove the Mod 0 from my pseudo clone collection. However, if they did release another run of the MK18 FSP rails, I'd be standing in line with money in hand. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:Quoted:Quoted:
The only reason people want them is because they are rare. When they were available they were sales DUDS, and that's why they were discontinued.
If they had never existed, no one would be clamoring for DD to produce them, same with GLSSC version.
I used to have 2 FSP MK18 rails, and when I sold one a while back it sat for a long time at $300.
Youre semi right, another reason they are more popular now is because there are alot more people cloning, and you can only clone so much with whats available.

So you could get something slightly different, and have the same function.
