@Combat_Diver Looking at the background in your pictures, especially the mountains it's actually pretty awesome. If only you were there under better circumstances, I'm sure all you guys think it's a shithole?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Solo_: Just my 2 cents, but when it's a Tango vertical grip versus an angled one, for me it's always the vertical (Tango, specifically). It's just an aesthetic thing of mine. Everyone else will be different - but vertical Tango grips are awesome I'm used to vertical grips, I never really used the afg. Trying it while dry firing the afg feels weird to me, but it may just be because I've never used one. The tango down just looked a little long with short barrel. |

From what I've seen the DoS MK18s are factory DD MK18 uppers with black ris ii, FN15 full auto lowers, aimpoint Comp M5s, magpul pros, and streamlight protac WMLs. I'll see if I can snag some pics. These are issued to MSGs as well as DoS personnel.

So my MK18 is finally coming together but need to decide on an optic.
Those with NV experience chime in, does the Eclan 1-4 without the RDS work well with PVS14? The other idea was a Aimpoint M5 paired with a G33 on Unity Fast mounts, any experience running those with PVS14? Only have an IR light no laser yet. |

It can work, but it's not great. You would want a RDS on top. If you're going for a clone I'd recommend the EOTech EXPS 3-0 or Aimpoint T2. The M5 is nice, but the T2 looks good on the CQBR. T2 on Unity mount  T2 on LaRue Mount  EOTech EXPS 3-0

What's a DEVGRU MK18? I thought the Navy used standard MK18 mod 0/1 and DEVGRU used a 10.4 HK416 for a little while.

Transitional model used by DEVGRU before the 416. Around the 2005ish timeframe. Seems like it's just a standard Navy MK18 with a GG&G 1201 rail and sometimes a BE Meyers 249f flash hider.
