Been years since i got into the clone game and I always avoided this thread cause I was to afraid to make the leap into the NFA world. I finally made the jump and have something to post in here. My MARSOC CQBR.
Next major move is to get an NT4 and then eventually a peq16. |

It's ratty, but once stripped and repainted GREEN with the rest of my build it'll be alright. I was conflicted on whether to paint my mod-0, but I think this has given me the motivation to do so!

So funny story. I'm disassembling my Socom upper to swap the receivers and I get to the barrel nut. Stick the wrench on and it just rotates
. I don't even think I'd call it finger tight. I'm glad I decided to separate it.

Eta: @UndrGrndPrdcts When facing a new/unheard online seller (and let's face it, there seems to be so many of them these days for gun parts/accessories/etc), I always google the site name and "complaints" which is a nice catch-all for finding info on the store/site.

I really like mine, I bought one, ran it for a while, stupidly though I should go back to the EoTech combo, that lasted about a month and I was searching for a Elcan again. 
But I guess I really didn't answer your question re the BDC and longer ranges, but it was common optic on MK18 so I suspect it must have worked well enough, at least at typical engagement distances for the MK18. |

Not saying they are Botach (or AU for that matter, which is just as bad imo), and appears others have ordered from them successfully, but their online rep is not so great.

Anyone got a weight on the androcorp 10.3 crane barrel? They might have the worst response time I've encountered. Need a barrel swap and I'm trying to choose between this and a cut down SOCOM. Leaning socom just because it's disheartening that a company can't reply to an email or voicemail after two weeks.

M4 rifles are sexy. MK 18 is even sexier. Was thinking about finally building one of my own clone correct uppers when I get home from this trip. Already have the surefire suppressor and an sbr’d lower. Just need the proper upper. Anyway, here is a potato pic of my issue rifle for you guys. I need to get a new pressure switch on that flashlight. Usually I use a SOPMOD stock but I’m not as picky as I used to be. The Elcan Spectre stays on the m4 upper. That thing is an overweight bitch anyway. I keep the can on if I’m just doing shooting demo’s on the range when training or on missions but it comes off for serious range work. I just realized I’m so lazy that I don’t even rattlecan my rifles anymore. Oh, well. War’s over anyway.

Clone -inspired- Upper completed, on a doner lower until my form 1 returns...Will be on a PSA M4A1 lower.
Went with the EXPS 2-0 instead for two reasons...1, I got a good deal on it, and 2, I will never use or own NV....
Will be changing CH out eventually as well, but being a lefty sometimes function over "correctness" rules the day.
