Bro, where you finding the DD rails??  eta- so I noticed something kinda unsettling when I disassembled my upper. I noticed the barrel nut had been way over torqued by someone. I mean to the point where the threaded part of the barrel nut has some separation from the wrench part. I don't know how I missed it when I got it. I'll post pics later. That coulda been bad. |

And the gas port, and gas tube. Be ready for malfunctions if you use .22 with your upper. I ended up getting a dedicated .22 upper for that reason. Plus a .22 suppressor that either breaks down for cleaning. Although, I do wonder about the m22 rounds made by Winchester god the ar. Those would prob be good to go as I believe they are made for this purpose. No real data though. Someone might know. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dyzastr:

Besides that I really need a KAC M4QD in my life. Only reason I haven't swapped it is I'm not looking forward to fucking with the Rocksett on my shit  . Besides, she can't be tied to just having one upper (pun intended). I always say it's the last time I'm swappin, so I won't this time. Before cloning, my comp ml3 was the only optic I'd ever used so can you really blame me? Plus the builds tell me what optics they want, it's honestly outta my control.
But the reason for the CD style pic is I've decided to part with my Savannah marked ris ii, so I'm combining parts to make one complete finely tuned block 2. I just got word my buddy is willing to trade me back my FF gg&g 1201. I can't wait to pair it with my m249f. So I'll basically be losing a block 2, but gaining a FF block1.5. I may be able to help the m4qd hole in yer life once you decide to pry Excalibur off. Originally Posted By SecretSquirell:

A few snaps from shooting yesterday. Got a snazzy little carbon fiber felt welding mat. Now I don't have to worry about the suppressor melting the carpet on my shooting table :\.
And a little baffle action at 1,300 or so. Put 8 mags through it yesterday, so I'm at 1,500+ now. There hasn't really been any significant change in the wear over the last 500 rounds, but I've definitely been a lot more gentle with it. Seems the damage from 700 to 1000 was just getting it too hot. Honestly, a little surprised that 60 rounds of not even continuous fire took such a toll on it. Judging by that, the manual stating not to exceed 90 rounds of continuous full auto is pretty fucking optimistic. I'd hate to see the results of a 90 round full auto dump, heh.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Spitfire75:
Thanks for the replies, everyone. Haha, I wasn't trying to show anyone up - I just wanted to make a small contribution to this massive thread. I think about getting out of CA all the time, but it's hard. I was born and raised in Orange County, and almost all of my family is still here. I do have some family out in Georgia and Virginia, and my wife's family is spread around Missouri and Oklahoma. I would definitely be able to relocate to one of those places, but both my wife's and my careers are out here and it's tough to think about giving up our salaries and and connections. The nice thing about having family outside of CA is that I occasionally get to take my ARs with me when we go visit them. It's funny how much more illegaler and how many more 30 caliber clips my AR shoots per half-second when I swap out the dumbass fixed magazine lock for a little button and a spring. Back to clone-related stuff...since I live in Los Angeles and can't have anything truly cool, it's hard to resist the Surefire SOCOM training suppressor that a few places have been selling over the past year or two. I guess they do say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And it's also nuts how the Surefire headquarters is only 1.9 miles from the house I lived in until I went away to college. I can't even own the main thing that they're known for manufacturing!  By the way I did attend Mater Dei for a year and root for them but Loara High School is my alumni, whoo! They suck though and will never make it to a state championship lol, but yea I'm telling you, leaving will make you homesick, but having Freedom is better, you and your better half will have more freedoms to enjoy outside of SoCal I promise, give freedom a chance, and you're Mk18s freedom bro!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: No, I agree; it oddly doesn't look quite as bad as it did. I think the last several hundred "gentle" rounds with plenty of cooling time between kinda worked to smooth out the rough edges and the ragged looking pathway around that missing chunk. I do recall reading - I think it was a post from a Surefire rep - that the wear is sort of self-limiting after a certain point - even with a flash hider. Hopefully, after the initial aggressive wear, it'll settle into very minor changes over the rest of its life. I'd guess as long as I continue being careful, that'll probably be the case. And I just heard that fucking whoreface Kyrsten Sinema has won the senate race in AZ. What the fuck, Arizona... we don't elect Democrats. Ugh. |

I didn't want two block 2 builds since there are a variety of mk18/ cqbr variants to clone, so now I've got a 10.4" floating around. Ya, Dumb question. Of course it's an Hk barrel.
