Negative. There's been a few aftermarket chopped down 10.3 Colt SOCOM profile barrels in this thread but such a factory beast doesn't exist.

Built up from recent Brownells DD MK18 stripped upper.  Obviously not clone correct but I love it and it meets my needs.

Nice build man, looks close enough to me. Definitely needs a standard dust cover tho
Still got me scratching my head as to why they switched to a plastic dust cover on a URG they put out to mimic the issued CQBR

Have you seen their "version" of the Mk12? They don't know clone.

I (probably purposely) forgot about that thing. And not to mention the "M4A1 SOCOM" upper Brownells has for sale/pictured with the plastic dust cover and a mid length barrel.

Can't tell if zero effort given or zero fucks given. Id like to think they know what parts are actually on the issued guns they supply parts for

That's the truly baffling part. Then you get newbies to the game thinking that what they're putting out is 100% legit.

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.

Bro, I spent an hour trying pull the poly cover off and replace it but could not get the damn thing off. Could not for the life of me get the pin out far enough. Not sure what the problem was but it seemed to be hanging up early on the forward assist. Maybe one of these days I’ll work on it again but for now it’s ran great as is.

Only about 400 rounds thru it so far running G Super 42 weighted up to H2 with no problems and 4-430 ejection.

It comes out the other way (forward).

ETA: Although you should be able to slide it far enough rearward to swap the cover... hmm.

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.

Used masking tape to protect upper finish and tried the rear method. Just couldn’t get it that last little bit to free the cover. Oh well

Why is this not "clone correct"?

Are you nitpicking things like Gen2 stock Vs Gen1? Or do you mean the upper itself? I thought it was confirmed that DD had provided complete .070 uppers to the MIL? 

To me, your rifle seems like at close at it can be without being full on COLT or FN.

I’m good with upper being DD as I am one of the believers that DD uppers have been and are fielded just not on the level of Colt.  I’m pretty sure this DD upper is the .070 gas port version. Seems like all the DD stripped uppers coming out of Brownells this year have been built around the .070 barrel.

Specifically for me is the lower is BCM as I don’t own any Colt SBR lowers and also the dust cover.

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...

Guys that do 10 years and choose to get out are not retired, and "ex" is commonly interchanged with "former". You know what he means. We all know what he means. No need to make it into an issue.

Well here's my CQBP, gotta stop being lazy and stamp the lower someday. just bought a g33 for the T1 so I can aim with a comma. They look surprisingly good pared together. Other than the lower, all upper parts are correct down to roll pins.

Does anyone know if there's a low profile riser that's a match for the Wilcox low profile front sight riser in terms of height?  Looking at the YHM but it looks to be a bit too high.  I know the short answer is to contact Wilcox direct to see if they'll sell the front riser by itself, but looking to get some input from the group first. Thanks.

Wilcox Low Profile Front Riser (lower right):



YHM Front Sight Riser (clearly too high):



Then there's the YHM GB front sight riser (looks like it might be a good match):



What I'm ultimately trying to achieve in terms of riser compatibility (MK18 inspired SBR):

anyone who has ever graduated some form of basic training within the United States military knows that "retired" has one very specific meaning: You did 20.

Why do you keep caps-locking NAVY?

I actually had mine in that config w/ larue rail before I hacked up a RISII FSP.  That build is why i bought my 553.  I don't think I have any pics though.

Still got the larue rail and a 16" Colt Socom FSGB that needs to be chopped.  But I got too many projects to pursue that atm.

Thanks for planting that seed BOONEA...

ETA:  I stand corrected, page 433:

The first CQBRs had LaRue rails.

my mk18 is a couple months away from getting its sbr stamp.

just curious, didnt the ATF say they would slap your peepee if you modify the shockwave brace?

its what im using and the cheekweld sucks...and i definitely wouldnt know how it feels when shouldered.....



also posted earlier but it got buried under all the "ex vs retired vs former SEAL" talk out of nowhere, new mk18 build happening, has larger gas port and suppressed, think i should go ahead and get a h2 buffer for it?

Nice. What is that, Rustoleum Khaki or Sand and Earth Brown? Looks very similar to the paint job on one of mine.

I'd go with an H3. My .070 runs Wolf WPA to 5.56 with a T2 (4oz) and it isn't even suppressed. I just swapped in an H2 and going to do some shooting tomorrow; we'll see how it does with the Wolf WPA 55gr, but I'm guessing it'll probably cycle fine. Also, I have a Noveske 10.5" with a port somewhere in the neighborhood of the DD .082 port (I'd guess around .078), and it runs the same ammo flawlessly unsuppressed with an H3.
