The Noveske end plate is really the best option. I wouldn't mind seeing it become the standard spec. It takes up no room over the standard design, and adds an additional sling mounting location for those who want to use it. What isn't to like? Can't think of any downside - a logical improvement over the original part.

And while we're at it, the RIS II needs some built in QD mounting points too! Perhaps I've gone too far now...

I really love my mod 0 rifle. I can't afford a mod 1 upper for a while but I want to add things to my mod 0 that don't go on mod 0 rifles (like a qd tango down vert grip). This sucks
 Also, my knights rail panels have play in them, and its fucking annoying.

I've picked the brain of my buddy who has spent time in Iraq and is now in Afghanistan but he has little to no experience with either platform. |

The ELCAN is a general purpose optic.
Great for combat, but in no way a precision optic. The CQBR is a close in, dirty fighting gun, capable of plenty of ugliness. I think it's well matched with the ELCAN's 1-4x variable and fixed BDC reticule. The MK 17 MOD 0 has got the heavier round, a little bit more punch, a little bit more range, better suited to reaching out and touching, and delivering precision troubles to bad people (or paper targets, as it were), and would be able to make better use of a dedicated precision riflescope. Granted, I've seen CQBRs used as "sniper" rifles (or recce rifles, or DMRs, or whatever else you want to call them) and I've seen MK 17s used as general purpose battle rifles - so you could still do either, and be fine. But matching glass and capabilities, this would be my simple vote. Of course - if you're willing to put a little bit more heart and soul into it, since you've got a CQBR already, and don't seem to be squeamish about SBRs, you should just get another ELCAN and chop the MK 17 to CQC length.

~Augee Thanks, appreciate the knowledge. The thought of chopping the Mk17 to CQC length has crossed my mind a few times but I don't think I'm going to go that route.

Rather than starting my own thread, I'd like to reach out to you guys for suggestions. In August, I ordered a DD MK18 SBR from my local dealer. They only had the black version scheduled to build that week––the FDE builds were sold out through the end of November. I got the black, not wanting to add three months more to my wait. It's at the dealer now and forms have been away for about a month now. I immediately stocked up on Magpul goodies (FDE STR stock, FDE MIAD Grip, FDE RVG, FDE Enhanced Trigger Guard, FDE Mags, and an FDE MS3 sling). Since I wanted an HK style front post, I deviated from KAC sights and decided on PRI folding sights (also in their FDE). That's as far as I've gotten on my own.
I keep teetering with the idea of ordering the FDE MK18 rail and then selling the black––but then I wonder if it really matters anyway since it will be covered XTM pannels anyway. Then, there's trying to figure out the flashlight. I've narrowed it down to a Surefire M620V or the M952V. I like the M952V because of the button on the back and the option for the switch at the same time, but I like the M620V because it's more compact. I can only find good deals on the M620V in black too, so do I put out money for the tan or suck it up and go black? I'm definitely going with an Eotech, but prefer the EXPS3-0 because of the compact size––thought I believe the 553.A65 is part of the kit. So what do you guys suggest? I just want to hear different opinions. I know it's splitting hairs, but I want to make sure I don't stray too far off base from the authentic MK18. |

Just an idea, but you could save the cash and save the black rail/black light and just paint that fucker. There are plenty of pictures of these rifles painted by the soldiers/sailors/marines that are using them. It's be easier then swapping rails and all that too. Originally Posted By LC2ner:

I'm definitely going with an Eotech, but prefer the EXPS3-0 because of the compact size––thought I believe the 553.A65 is part of the kit. So what do you guys suggest? I just want to hear different opinions. I know it's splitting hairs, but I want to make sure I don't stray too far off base from the authentic MK18. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7205/6929091845_8f5863704c_z.jpg Be different. Yep. My rail is black and it doesn't bother me one bit. I wasn't going to wait for months on end, just to get a FDE rail. Nothing spray paint can't fix

Does your jam so much that you need that cleaning rod strapped to it?
Only time I had a bad jam in mine was when I had a case head seperation with Black Hills ammo. Edit: Oh, funny thing. Had some ADCOM ammo, all my other uppers would rip the rims off the soft brass, but my CQBR ate it up. |

Appears that the USAF is using the WMX200 these days.

Yeah I see your point and agree wholeheartedly, but realize a cleaning rod is really only going to help you in a protracted firefight. It's his weapon to do as he pleases, but lets be real here. Is he strapping a cleaning rod to his weapon in order to increase his ability to defend himself, or is doing doing it to look cool? |

I shoot in the sticks about an hour from my home so it's nice to be able to fix show stoppers without getting creative or leaving and coming back. In other news, Aerovoe Dark Green is not really dark. And the can I got from DSG had a broken nozzle

I've had a little bit of an idea to make a product that would solve this problem. It involves shorter rod length sections and currently available stowage options. |

Right now I'm not in good enough physical shape but I have a little more than a year until application deadlines. |
