Hark, tis that the sound of good Ser Postman upon his noble steed? Forsooth, tell me, good Ser Postman, what tidings do you bring? Baubles and trinkets from an exotic and faraway land?

My kingdom doth rejoice! For good Ser Postman doth bringeth 99051s most fair. And most nobly, a dayeth early. Tis that the beep of a new Pocket Pro II, shot timer most wise? Verily, verily I say unto thee! Upon my sacred word and honor!

And my grip is a KAC taupe.. I'll probably switch it out for a black colt

Got a new DD Mk18 stripped upper (no muzzle device or BCG, otherwise complete) on backorder. Got a sweet deal, under $600 shipped. How clone correct is the OEM upper from DD?

Still trying to decide what optic for the top. Thinking EXPS3 with the magnifier. Or maybe the Razor 1-6 off one of my other builds I never shoot.

The upper receiver itself needs to go and be replaced by a Colt or FN upper if you're going for clone correctness. The RIS II is GTG, of course; and the barrel is... debatable. Some are going to say only Colt and FN are acceptable, but there is this:

https://adsinc.com/past-performance/usscom-bolt-barrel-kit/

According to DD and ADS, there are at least 1,407 DD 10.3" barrels in the system. Take that for what it's worth.

alright guys, help me out and let me be the guinea pig for eotech engraving from a top notch source that does incredible work

trying to get my exps engraved with su-231A markings. carolina laser used to do this, but no longer does. the company is willing to do it, but needs this:

We would need a PDF, black and white of that engraving on the Eotech to engrave it properly. Can you put that together?
View Quote
I consider myself a techy person overall, but i know that SU engraving is a specific font. no issue with them creating the QR code, but i need the font name and/or style to make it look right obviously. anyone have any idea what font is used, or possibly have a template for su-231A engraving?

it's literally the last thing i need done to finish the mk18 completely while being "correct"

my hood has already been done by @ankratz - just need re-engraving and ended up in a pinch when Carolina stopped doing the engravings

You might try contacting Chad from CLW and see if he'll give you his template. If he's not offering the service anymore, no real reason not to share it. I guess maybe he stopped offering the service based on some ethical consideration about people maybe passing them off as legit - in which case, maybe not.

Otherwise, messing with the example image from CLW in Photoshop, it looks like MS Sans Serif is very close. Others are "Kartika" and "Latha". A known font would probably be best, but I could just isolate the text from the image if necessary.

Now that is a great idea, thank you. I'll email Chad, and order a couple of UID labels too. Good to know on the fonts.

Ill have to do some searching, but I seem to remember one pic with a monster. It might not have been a mini though. I'll do some searching. I'll be a rebel and run one fo' shits n giggles n pokin'.

@ColdEngineer

Take that DD upper off and sell it.  Should be able to get $80-$90 for it, so you’re into the RIS II Rail with a barrel/gb/gas tube for about the same price as just the rail from DD.  Then grab a Colt upper to slap it all on.  That’s what I did (just took me forever to finally complete the task, LoL)!

Also, how did you snag that upper for less than $600 shipped?!  Do tell

I was debating about going this route, too. I had purchased a stripped DD MK18 URG from Brownells for a good price (not $600 though) using a coupon (and Active Junky cash back) on top of their sale price and was willing to wait because it's on backorder. When I researched it further, though, besides the dumb logo'd upper with polymer ejection port door, it turns out they just use a Daniel Defense low profile gas block, not the Daniel Defense MK12 gas block. So after factoring in selling/swapping out parts, buying mailers, driving to/from the Post Office and paying postage, etc., I decided to just build it up right with the correct parts to begin with even though it will cost a bit more in the end. I won't be able to land a factory Colt 10.3" non-FSP barrel at this point (unless a short run miraculously gets released soon), so I will be going with DD and I'm okay with that.

The current DD Mk18 URGs are using an Mk12 block, FYI.
