Trying to gauge what's kosher. I see people cherry picking variances from issued gear constantly but not the entire rifle. Yeah there is more than that one. I'll see if I can hunt em down ETA this one is a 14.5 block 1.5, which as you know is basically a B1 that uses block 2 accessories/unit dependent parts commonly seen-on B2's. There are more on CQBRs as well, but honestly I have too many pics to look through all day. And because CQBR thread |

That alone makes me actually stop and look at his pics. I dig the variation. And I get the clone thing at its core, but I don't get why we should all have identical setups. Those issued these rifles are given the freedom to run the accessories that work best for them. Shouldn't be any different here (within obvious reason). |

It's a clone thread, not a variety or functionality thread. You are so hurt by the QD cups, good grief.
Hunting down the CORRECT parts is part of the challenge and fun. Clones are never on the edge of technology advances. It's not just about the weapon system, it's also about where they are used and who uses them. |

"So hurt by the QD cups?" Lol. I'm just pointing out one of the 'est comments recently made in here, how trivial it (and other stuff) is, and how someone's rifle can be more functional with that insanely minute variation.
And what it's about for you may not be the exact same for me or the next guy. It's why I solely share strong words in here with those posting CQTRs, and those douching the place up over insanely trivial stuff that should be treated as nothing more than personal preference. |

[#16]
Guess the irony is just a little too thick for me. That one member who has posted pics of his issued CQBR in here...it looks NOTHING like the usual suspect rigs. Nothing at all. The guy has configured his rifle the way it's most functional for him. He rightfully doesn't get any flack for it, and he shouldn't be the sole exception.
We aren't all engaging tangos with these setups, but some of us still use them damn hard. They should be functional for our own styles as well. It's no different. I don't fault those wanting a standard issued look. Some others just want something a bit different. No reason at all that should be a problem. They aren't all the same in the wild either. |

People who regularly train with and use QD cups in their stocks are going to have a less functional setup without those QD cups. Just like how someone who has exclusively run a particular grip on every AR would have a less functional rifle without that grip. When it comes to barrel length, handguard, and some other obvious stuff, it's one thing. But when people are being nitpicked over trivial shit that would yield their rig less functional for them, it's time to STFU. For me, even just small variations in some rigs make a world of difference. Like how TinyCrumb's CQBR upper is pretty much just like every other one, BUT, he has a Grip Stop. That alone makes me actually stop and look at his pics. I dig the variation. And I get the clone thing at its core, but I don't get why we should all have identical setups. Those issued these rifles are given the freedom to run the accessories that work best for them. Shouldn't be any different here (within obvious reason). For some, shooting their rifles (function over fashion) is a priority. For others, shooting pics of their rifles and posting about them (fashion over function) is a priority. I know which group you are in. Maybe the clone police will get this thread shutdown again, just like the last clone thread. I hope they don't, but kinda hope they do at the same time. |

Those issued these rifles are given the freedom to run the accessories that work best for them. Shouldn't be any different here (within obvious reason). This is pretty much my exact feelings on this thread as well. I understand that if you give an inch, people will take a mile, and it will get out of hand quickly (with people posting rifles with nearly 0 clone parts), but you should be allowed some leeway with certain things, as you said. I can understand if someone wants to run a gen 1 lmt sopmod because of cloning correctness. If that's literally the only thing you're doing this for, then have at it hoss, but if you want a "clone" that is functional for YOU, so you can actually go out and use it without having to severely adjust or even handicap your shooting style, then you should also be allowed to do that as well (again, within reason) without someone else pushing their idea of what your rifle should look like down your throat. Hell, you don't see me bitching at everyone who isn't running LA-5's, su230's, and 4p's, do you? If you want clone correctness, everyone needs FA lowers! LOL. There'd be like 3 people in this thread. |

I've got two questions for yous guys... 1) What A2 profile lowers are out there with limited rollmarks? I'm looking for an SBR host lower for Form 1 and hate big ass logos stamped on the side.. 2) What information would go on a Form 1 regarding the model category if someone were to line out the original manufacturers model number and engrave a NAVY 18-1 below the serial number ...I'm wanting to make a Mk 18 Mod 1 clone ... Yes, they exist. I'm looking for a decent host lower and am wondering if NAVY 18-1 would work as the model number, or if I'd get into trouble if I had to list the original model on the form and then had it lined out on the lower...doesn't seem like that second option would work out too well.

WHAT SAY THE UNWASHED HOARD OF CLONING!!?? View Quote well..............this is the reason I go with 80% lowers. I can put on there what I want, without having any engraving of an original manufacturer. That said, I would go with a NoDakSpud lower, especially if you're wanting to do a MK18 Mod 1, which I would assume might be an A1 lower? NDS has an A1 lower, minimum engraving. As to lining out the original model number that they use, and substituting MK18 Mod 1........I don't have a clue. If I were interested in doing that I believe I would inquire to ATF's Compliance office. (???? maybe?) Edit.........shouldn't be a problem using MK 18 Mod 1 as the serial, if you were doing an 80%. I just don't know how ATF would look at the original mod. # being done away with....although it would actually still be on the lower. Hmmmmmmmm........in ter es ting question. 2nd edit: take into consideration that my response has been influenced by a blend of whiskey, tequila, triple sec, and mikes's hard lemonade. |

If you use a Colt lower you will have to list what is engraved on the lower, such as M4A1. If you put Mk 18 it the markings will not match the serial number for your lower and your former will be sent back to be corrected.

I would've gone with a 30mm Aimpoint, well, actually I did. But besides those and even though we haven't seen any in use YET, I'd rather have the MRO than a T1 because of the larger objective. The T1 is just too small to me, I think the MRO nailed it for objective size while still being a micro optic |
