Lol my light was in a bad spot and I couldn’t take off the suppressor. I have since moved it. All I own are 20” and 16” barrels. Need to get something light and handy with a dot.

This is my go-to for SD/HD.
Just recently I've gotten into helmet mounted NV so I've added a LAM and will be either swapping optics or getting a riser for the eotech. I really like the XPS2 even under nods, but I've got an aimpoint PRO that would work well for this rifle too.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileI've had a TA31, PST II and a couple different dots on it and I've come to settle on just a dot/holo for my needs.

I've updated my setup recently. This is probably the fifth upper I've had on this BCM lower at this point. The new upper is a BRT 11.5" Optimum hammer forged with a FCD RHF-C 9.5 handguard and a Geissele REBCG. It's a very smooth and well balanced rifle. Can't wait for my Turbo 3 to get out of jail as I plan to use that primarily and relegate the K to backup duty.

My absolute favorite. I built a different one to be my "go to" and it's a great gun, but this one just called to me, so I completely re-did it with a criterion barrel and a bunch of other quality parts. Now it's what it deserves to be.

I've thought about replacing that light for a long time (even when the gun was a more budget beater). It just refuses to give me a reason why I need to. It's the perfect size for the gun and it refuses to break. I keep hoping, but so far nothing |

I'd like to have gone 12.5, but I bought the barrel to replace an 11.5 and it fit the handguard so good I couldn't bring myself to add that inch. Then I ended up building a whole new upper for it anyway and could have gone 12.5, but it was too late. Oh well, I like 11.5. Balances beautify with the can. Even without a mag in it the balance point is right at the front of the magwell. |

 Middle one is probably the one I would go with even through the 11.5" G Doody is more capable with the ACOG. I just love my DD MK18. The Mod 0 is newer to me and feels better tuned with the gas but it's an older style of build and you feel it. It's a good half pound heavier than the Mod 1. Really any of these are great. I love these three rifles. |

SBR’d a few more lowers recently and decided to set up a primarily indoor backup shorty. Most of my surefires, streamlights, etc. are living on other rifles right now, so I started digging through my parts bins and found this nifty Crimson Trace VFG I bought many years ago. It’s a bit long and the white light is a dismal 200 lm, but still adequate for its intended role. Hell, I’d forgotten how bright the green laser is - it may as well be a flashlight on its own.
I question whether this VFG laser/light unit would stand up to years of extended rough use in the field, however it’s quite sturdy and durable enough for my intents. I used it a lot after I bought it many years ago and it always held zero perfectly. I had forgotten all about this thing, glad I found it.   BCM4 11.5” w/Griffin RECCE 5 suppressor & CT MVF-515G |

I've actually got a spare ACOG with RMR that doesn't have a home currently. I think if I did put the bulkier optic on my Mod 1 it might ruin it for me. I love the lightweight nature of it currently at well under 8 pounds fully kitted. Someday I'd like to try at 10.3" with a lightweight profile barrel and a slim lightweight MLOK handguard. |

Get an Aimpoint M5B or a t2 and move that 10.3 to an 11.5 and you'd haver something very special, more maneuverable, and with better ballistics. I've got an 11.5 KAC CQB Mod 2 with an Eotech that is close to that. It's lovely. I don't have the rounds on it yet but there's something special to me about the 10.3" builds that doesn't reflect the specs, etc. They just feel right. Also my G Doody is an 11.5" but it's got the ACOG on it. I like it there. Weight wise it comes out exactly the same as my Mod 0 but I'm using older heavier parts on the Mod 0 because I want that look. |
