Edit- do you think the repair facility has anything to do with crane? Maybe located nearby each other? Attached File |

That didn't include shipping to and from Canada of course. |

They used to be available about every two years, until last year and this year, making it two years in a row, once a year or every year. Now that Colt has a new owner, they might be available more often. I wouldn't be surprised if more show up this year. |

^^^very nice! That Kac vfg looks good on that block2.
I decided to put the old afg1 back on and also replaced the surefire m93 mount with a no-stop arms #17. I need to find a good offset mount that doesn't cause issues. My front sight interferes with the light when I use the surefire offset. Attached File |

Question - DD Mk18 upper price on Brownells has shot up to $900. I haven’t been around the MK18 game long enough to know...is that outrageous, or back to more “typical” historically?
Might snag another one before Biden goes off... |

Hmmm GME, DOGE and Bitcoin were good to me. Very good.
What new optics should I waste money on for an Mk18/CQBR and some flavor of HK 416 build? I've only ever had EOTechs and Vortex Razors. |

View Quote The lowest that same upper ever was from Brownells, with a 10% off coupon and Active Junky 4-5% cash back, was $620. I think this was prior to Brownells charging sales tax in all states. That upper only starts things. You will need to swap it to a colt upper immediately since there is the lasered MK18 on the side of the DD upper. Expect another $130 for milsup, to $240 for new in bag colt upper. Oh, and that dust cover. |

The set screw gas block ones must be later than the gas port change. It looks like the new 10.3" barrels are dimpled for set screws, but the new 11.5" barrels still are not. |
