tried to make a mk18mod1 clone.  couldn't get myself to get the eotech 553 over the t1 and I the surefire scout is such a better light than the insight m3x.  Any suggestions on making this a more correct clone.

complete DD MK18
KAC QD Flash Hider
KAC Front Sight
Tango Down VFG
Surefire Scout m600c (Red Filter Cap for hog hunting)
T1 on a KAC QD Mount
KAC 600M Rear
CQD rear sling plate
CQD front sling mount
CQD Deiter Sling
LMT SOPMOD Stock
PRI Gasbuster CH with the military latch.
Magpul Aluminum Trigger Guard.

Gonna go sight this puppy in tomorrow.

That's nice looking....I think.  



Was it distracting taking the pictures with the smoke detectors blaring?

I cant speak for the OP - but as far as the toys I own. The stamps are worth every penny.

Cool build. You need to post it in here. As far as the light and optic, you are fine. Both are being fielded overseas by Tier 1 operators. Pics in a minute...

Its all good. The only thing that sucks about C3 is the wait.

Nice

Love that DD.  I think it may be the one I go for as well.

Did my interview at the cop shop today, should have my paperwork back by Tuesday, and then I can mail it all off with my checks.

Gonna be a long wait.

tax stamp is completely worth it but the 8 months of waiting almost killed me  I'm gonna send in another one  for the kac nt4 can next.  DD Mk18 is a solid rifle.  If you go for an SBR you can't go wrong with it.  I wanted to post it in the mk18 pic thread but didn't know if mine was considered a correct clone since I don't have the FDE RIS.

200 dollars isn't the problem.  the crazy long wait is what drives you crazy.  I wonder why it takes so long.  Took me around 8 months  to get the stamp. If I took 8 months to do anything at my job I would be fired.  lol.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke It will definitely be the upper of choice for my 10.5" registered Mega lower, and my Seekins I put down for a 11.5" barrel based on the OAL question, so I am starting to do an all Seekins build with a 11.5 barrel and an A2 FSB.  Friggin' barrels are hard to find right now!

Hey OP I saw your post in the mk18 thread too.
Nice rifle man!

Plenty of guys use the surefire's over the m3x(myself included)
the aimpoint....well if you hang out in the mk18 thread for a while....you might switch, but yours is still clone appropriate.
the rail...doesnt matter color, as long as its dd mk18, although most prefer the fde when doing clone rifles.

Your one issue.....when taking pics for the clone threads, have a 30 rd GI mag in the rifle, not a pmag.  Makes a huge difference for some reason Save the pmags for the range.

cool thanks and  thanks for the tips.  i do have an eotech 512 on my other rifle.  so nothing against eotech.  can't beat the battery life on the aimpoint and the size of the t1.

An ACOG behind a T-1????

And it appears to be a compact ACOG at that
