Got a new .070 gas port DD bbl installed under warranty due to feedramp issues on the old .083 one.
Put 210 through it today. Runs like a sewing machine now and more pleasant to shoot. http://imgur.com/a/Sxp9z |

So, something that's been bugging me for a while is the last decent photo I took of my Mk18 Mod 0 build. I installed the KAC handguard incorrectly, with the front tab sticking out of the handguard cap. Someone kindly pointed this out and though I corrected it, I never bothered to update the thread with any pics (proof that I understand instruction and I'm not completely devoid of intelligence, lol!).
Anyway, it was a sunny day and I figured I'd snap a few photos of the rifle. 
Apparently the Vero Beach marked covers are collectable? 
Markings on the RIS are in odd numbers, one of the indicators that it's a RIS, not the newer RAS? 
Until I receive my SR-15 stripped lower from One Shot Tactical, my Mk12 and Mk18 are sharing lowers. 
I'm going to have to do something about the buttpad on the LMT SOPMOD. They list for about $15 from B5 Systems, but God knows how much these will cost in Canada, if I can get them all all. Then I have to figure out how to get the buttpad off, lol! 
With my fake can because Canada. 
That's it for now. I have however been entertaining the idea of doing up a Block II build for a while now. It's just such a costly build that I've never seriously looked into it. I think if I do go that route, I may have to compromise a lot more than with my Mk12 build, for instance, the PEQ15. For my personal requirements, it has no use whatsoever because first, I don't have NVGs, and second, even if I did, there's no place around here for me to run them (local ranges don't have night shoots, and as far as I know, there aren't any matches held at night). Though it does look cool having all that stuff bolted onto the front end of a very short rifle, I may look into getting an Airsoft clone just for pics (lol, like my fake suppresors). Anyway, I may or may not have taken the first step down a very dark path and I pray my wife never finds out, or that I come to my senses and start doing the math on how much this could possibly cost me (even without a real PEQ 15).
