Are you sure you want the ECOS-C riser? The one used on MRE clones is the LT101.

Well one or the other doesn't really matter too much to me on this one. I'm not going clone exactly, just inspired like this thread is all about. I kind of like the single latch look of the ecos vs the two on the 101. I don't love the rear picatinny section on the back of the ecos tho.

But good to know either way. Guess I'll see which one pops up first.

First, glad this thread exists.  I'm never going to achieve 100% clone purity, nor am I interested in doing so.  So it's great to be able to post some "inspired" pictures.

The latest Marine recon configuration looked cool, so I semi-mimicked it.

Those MRE builds call me everytime I see them. I just really don't need another rifle like that in the collection. It does give me an idea though on a build that wouldn't be a duplicate.

Thanks @BigBoss01 (Nice name! Fellow MGS series fan) I posted that pic more for the mod 0(ish) in the background, but glad you liked the big boy.

Messing around with an A5 setup to get my mind off of the fact that I've just been too cheap to buy an MRE. That's going to change now. I was hoping to get rid of some stuff to pay for it, but every time I see y'all post MRE pics it rekindles that flame. Nobody to blame but my cheap ass self. Going to MRE my OGS clone. Growing tired of its current config.

The number of MREs I’ve done since the reissue is too damn high. But I can’t get away from it. It’s timeless and you can build it right so many ways.

Did you have to cut the Ambi Bolt Release in half to get it fit properly to the LMT Lower? Or is my eyesight getting bad?

I cut it as the lever interfered with the upper receiver. It’s a chunky billet that overhangs. I can still use it as a bolt release but I was more concerned with preserving the ability to catch from that side.

I 100% Understand why you cut it, it is obvious it would not work without cutting it with the Billet Upper from Maxim. But... I would not do that to a $230-$800 Stripped Lower or Complete one personally, just my .02 cents, but I'm a poorer
That's pretty hardcore and extreme my friend LMFAO! I Like it! I would of just slapped a PWS MK1 Mod 2 or KAC SR15 Lower that lacks the Ambi Bolt Catch. I still love the build though, and because of you I'm going to shortly be $1,300 poorer this Friday when I get paid to snag me one of those uppers, to do my version of an SR416 using an Geissele SMR 416 Rail System. Not to mention spending ungodly amounts on an HK Barrel Nut. Which leads me to my next question, where can I find one, and how was fitting it with a KAC E3 DI System, and how would it be using a SA Piston Retro Piston Kit ?

Cutting the catch wasn’t that big of a deal. It was removed for cutting and I figured if I butchered it I could buy another from LMT.

You won’t need a 416 barrel nut as the extension on a 416 is longer than an AR. You’ll use the PDX barrel nut with whatever 416 rail you want. The KAC Mod 2 system is easy to work on and was a breeze to install. The 416 receiver height gives some extra room for the gas block too.

Mark 12 SPR Mod I and Mod 0. The barrels are Douglas and the rails are clone correct, but I took liberty with the receivers and optic mounts. I’m fact, the Mod 1 KAC rail came from an East coast SEAL team and was painted/worn, so I did my best to match the rest of the rifle to it. I could not be happier with these two weapons.

I don’t know if all the time indoors has my brain ticking or if it’s just boredom striking, but I took the barrel off my 10.5” pistol with Geissele MK4 Fed Rail and made this abomination. I have decided I like it enough to keep it, and I’m going to buy a 10.3/5 6.8 barrel to either use with the Geissele or put into this ARMS SIR contraption. It feels surprisingly balanced

Ergo rail extension combined with a M4 RAS is my guess.

M4 RAS with Ergo extension is correct. Troy Charlie uses the standard barrel nut and Delta ring. Those didn't quite take off, though.
