I don't understand the whole plastic port cover thing, either. Changing out that goofy bastard was the first thing I did.
Just a random desert shooting report, I put 11 mags through the DD Mk18 SOCOM upper a few days ago using a 4oz T2 buffer, and not a hiccup. Fired Wolf WPA 55gr .223, AE 55gr .223 and tested out some Hornady Black 75gr 5.56 as well. I used my last spare tungsten weight to turn the H2 into an H3 in my bastard Mod 0, so I couldn't try out an H2. I ordered a complete H2 from Damage Industries during the sale recently, so I'll give it a good workout with that next time. Weight on the Damage Industries H2 is more like 4.55oz and not 4.6, but close enough I suppose. |

I took mine out backwards, towards the RE. It was tight, and if I recall I either taped the FA to keep it from scratching or I put a cleaning patch between the pin and FA. It seems like it won't clear the FA at first, but you kind of have to angle it downwards and it will just barely slip past it enough to remove the door. I didn't remove the pin completely, just enough to swap the door.

As far as small parts/accessories those are always interchangeable. Spent 8 years in the infantry and not everything “as issued” met my needs and was replaced by personal purchases. I don’t look at some of those items as being “correct” just because they are issue. |

Any more good Brownells codes for the DD mk18 uppers? Last I saw was $35 off. Shouldn't have dragged my feet last time.
|
|
|
Best code I see at the moment is $20 off (H7L) plus 4% off with Active Junky. Of course another $10 off that if you get invited to AJ. So around $690 to $700. Still not a bad deal - it's less than I paid for mine :\.

Do SEALs get together and work out these specific technical terms, or is it just something guys on the internet worry about? I can see them all sitting around a conference table with their lawyers, "Now, in reference to the 4th clause in Article 3, one may only refer to oneself as 'retired' if the requirements in subsection F are met, otherwise, and in keeping with the specified amendments to paragraph 3, subsection B, they shall only use the term 'Ex' or 'Former', unless specifically exempt as outlined in... All in favor?"
