Asking about the below items, and how "close" they are to being correct or seen/used in the field. X300 with or without pressure switch kit AXTS raptor charging handle Black KAC front sight Aimpoint T1 Thanks for the help! Hopefully post some pics up soon. All of those have been seen "in the wild" so you're good to go from that aspect. |

But just say NO to a micro T1, seen ITW also, see page 1 pics - X300 is just fine and is definitely in the spirit IMO. It's actually a really nice companion to the sopmod stuff (low profile, same length as atpial, etc…) (pic below) - Since charging handle is such an easily replaceable personal part, pretty much anything reasonably goes here. If you like the raptor, run it. - When CD was working as armorer and posting info for us, he mentioned a few times that BUIS he's installing is whatever is in inventory. There was at least one time where he was putting black ones on. You're GTG. - T1 isn't a SOPMOD optic but is pretty common in the "personal replacement" or "unit purchase" world especially since they're already in the system and have an NSN. I think Force Recon runs them with GDI mounts. Larue mount also seems to be common. (X300)

All depends if you wanna build an as issued gun or a gun with a bunch of personal bought items on it. The only raptors seen we're donated to a national guard SF unit by AXTS or Rainier

I feel like if my mk18 isn't clone correct what's the point? I'd almost rather have a 11.5 Right according to Surefire they say the 3-prong works just as well (or maybe slightly better) than the 4-prong, but they had to supply 4p's due to the requirements of the contract, yeah. From Augee... The "story" is that the four prong variant was designed and manufactured at the request of the military in conjunction with the SOCOM-RC suppressor for the SOPMOD program. Before the commercial release, Surefire redesigned the flash suppressor mount as a three-prong design, known as the SF3P, which is supposed to be slightly more efficient at eliminating flash, as well as having stronger tines. While the FH556RC was never released for commercial sales, because the military contract specifications were for the four pronged version, it is supposedly produced for military contracts only. Because of this, there are extremely few in civilian hands, though they show up from time to time. ~Augee |

Point I was making is that OP would see the difference between an EXPS3-0 and an SU-231a via the etched "SU" markings and what is on commercial versions.....just as an SU-230 LOOKS like a commercial model except for the SU/operational instructions etched. (and yes......the reticle differences) EDIT: notice that 3 posts above shows the very rare su231-A  (hey Brodband.....did you send that 231A back for a refund, or do you still have it?

OK, Several pages back I have pics of my start to a CQB clone in pistol form, while I wait on my Form 1. Now after constantly looking at this thread, it has got me spending more cashola. Meaning, I had a great deal on a PSA premium 10.5 CHF upper that was the basis of it, now because of all this group think, I am going to pick up a 6920 OEM from my LGD and will be getting the upper cut down to 10.3. Then I am going to use the colt lower to start my Mk12 build. After that is done, I'll get another colt lower to SBR for my CQB, to make it more propper.
I've had a few 14.5's P/W at Adco, but never a barrel cut down. Can I send them the KAC NT4 FH and have them time the threads so I dont need to use the shims? Also, do they need to rework the port or do any mods other than the cutting and re-threading? I wish this thread didnt exist... I would have been happy with my pseudo clone with all the CQD, KAC, and other odds and ends. Also, where do I get a Gen 1 Sopmod? |

Yes you'll have to get port work when you chop the barrel and its free with the barrel cutting service from ADCO. Just specify you want a .070 (mk18 spec) when you send your barrel in. Not sure on timing the NT4 but honestly I'd just use the shims vs paying for extra work. Just look at the EE under lower parts, they pop up pretty often or put a WTB out. Going rate for a gen1 LMT is anywhere from 100-150 |

What is the correct stock for a Block II? I see SOPMOD on the list, but is it Gen 1 or Gen 2? I've seen multiple pictures with black and multiple with FDE, so I'm guessing color isn't too big a deal.

And yes, presumably they're only using the white light button on the dual switch and when they need to use the laser they're using the fire button on the top of the laser, not the dual switch. The dual switch is just still used because it's either a)already what's around or b)an integrated picatinny mount vs. having to tape it on. Having it setup like this let's you get that extended C-clamp that's all the range right now for daytime shooting. |

I feel like it would bother the hell out of me. *side note* - does anyone have or know where I can get an empty insight box for the m3x? Have the light and both switches, my OCD is kicking and would like the plastic box as well. Thanks ahead. I've got one you can have. Shoot me a PM and I'll mail you one this weekend. |

Last time I really saw Vans was in middle/high school back when skateboarding was really popular. I'm old. The kids with money got the Vans. I had Chuck Taylors. Red... But ollying tears the crap out of the outside of your front foot on chuck taylors. I think Vans were double layered right there. Way off topic, but a cool subject. I do have a friend that is even older than I am that has a pair of Grey Vans with white soles. They looked nice. Did someone say what about a T-1?

This is bad ass. Why not just use the tan XPS2-0? Nice Wilcox riser/flip mount. I use them on my Block II. I had several tan ones earlier this year, but I ended up selling all of them. I should have just kept one. =(

X300 with or without pressure switch kit AXTS raptor charging handle Black KAC front sight Aimpoint T1 Thanks for the help! Hopefully post some pics up soon. Lights have some leeway, but most lean towards 600 series of some sort due to availability of the correct versions. X300 doesn't seem in the spirit IMO. As mentioned, Raptors seen ITW but I think CD mentioned it was unit buy? Black KAC - hey if it's a 99051 just paint it :). But just say NO to a micro T1, seen ITW also, see page 1 pics "Black KAC - hey if it's a 99051 just paint it :). But just say NO to a micro" Nope I was referring to KAC Micro Front sight :). |

KAC FH can be correct for a Block II as that is the only suppressor MARSOC is running. Never heard why they didn't convert over. I had to order some KAC FH for stock in Iraq as I only had the SF4Ps and needed to work on their guns. CD Whaaattt? and you tell me this 7 months into waiting on a SOCOM lol

Are there any units using AMBI magazine releases on their MK18's for the Lefties? Lefties will put them on their guns. I've seen a bunch. |
