It’s close, but this one is absolute co-witness, and has all those extra pieces making up the riser portion. Plus, the button on mine sticks out a bit more and has a small locking tab pressed into the flat actuator bar that keeps the button from getting pushed In accidentally.

I can’t find anything like it on the internet, and I wonder if it’s a contract piece for government use, from some contract somewhere. I don’t know where our weapons came from, but they’re not trash like I’ve seen on some other contracts.

Maybe try asking if your unit armorer can find out if it had a contract or if it was a personal purchase from the last guy using the rifle?

That’s the direction I’ve been leaning toward, and I’ll be headed back to the compound where I drew my weapon in the near future, so I’ll get a chance to ask one of the armorers about these mounts.

I’m hoping I can find a source for them, as I’d love to have a clone-correct copy of my current issued rifle. It’s one sweet piece and it shoots better than I can hold.

My last qual was a couple weeks ago, and was actually a lot of fun due to the gratifying accuracy and ease of handling of this little rifle.

I had never really given the Mk.18 much thought before, but using them in training and then getting issued one here, I got to know it pretty well, and I have to say, I LOVE IT.

In the trash can outside the armory…they all got replaced with factory mounts because those were loose and bent when dropped.

I had ADCO cut my Colt Socom barrel to 10.3 and shave the FSP. Not sure if that is clone correct but I am very happy!

These lil rifles are heavy enough for their size... I went with gov't profile. IMO the extra weight negates anything the heavier socom barrel offers.
