Who has an nt4, a peq, and a 10.3 with ris ii that they can check some things for me?
Need to know the farthest point forward you can mount a peq on top rail while still allowing nt4 gate latch clearance. |

Decided to build out my upper on a more proper Colt upper receiver instead of buying a prebuilt DDM4 Mk18 upper. It should save a little bit of money I can put to upgrading my XPS toward an EXPS. So I just picked up a used DD Mk18 RIS II in the EE.
Which barrel? This upper is going on a full auto lower. BA Hanson 10.3” 4150V QPQ barrel - $210 with pinned block Versus DD 10.3” CHF barrel - $285 bare, $325 with pinned block |

Also, were there ever units runnin AAC silencers on MK18s? The buildnlist on the OP does not list AAC silencers or mounts but some posts by (former) AAC employees awhile ago on silencertalk seemed to make this claim.
http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=103343&sid=5dce375640e5e509d90718f62c1abc23#p830549 Because I have a bunch of 51T mounts and AAC cans, so it would be nice if the silencers I already have are proper. Because if it comes down to buying another silencer just for a clone build, then it’s not happening. I already almost have more rifle cans than rifles to put them on and I’m on a preorder list for the Turbo K when they finally hit the market. |

Question for the experts here on Colt forge codes and time periods.
I have a few Colt uppers and a few builds to dedicate to them: 1. Colt raised C and Alcoa Forge (AF) forge code 2. Colt stamped C and Cerro (keyhole) forge code 3. Colt stamped C and Brass Aluminum (square) forge code Mk18 CQBR Block 2 I am thinking should get the AF forge code upper Mk12 Mod 1 I am thinking should get the Cerro forge upper And use the brass forge upper for a non clone build. What do my fellow |

G&R has colt stripped 10.3 barrels(not cut downs) for 240 each. No front site so perfect for block 2 builds. Get em while you can, and don’t pay 300+ for one from the EE

Since neither the SB or RC2 is the "correct" can for the block II, is one more acceptable than the other?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: I'd say the SB since it is visually indistinguishable from an RC. The only difference is the slighter larger bore and the engraving. The slightly larger bore isn't altogether a bad thing, either... the RC has a pretty small bore and it's easy to get little "kiss" baffle strikes. The SB is supposed to have some venting feature in the baffles to reduce gas blow back, anyone actually notice a difference when shooting or is it just marketing? |

I'll hopefully be putting in the paperwork within the week.B) I already had the XPS2-0 sitting around unused. It's like 7 years old. There's a good chance I just use it as is, but why not use this as an opportunity to upgrade to a more proper EXPS and a set of KAC micros? C) I decided, since I have a BUNCH of time to wait, I'm actually going to wait for Shark Arms Colt 11.5 Commando HBAR FBI HRT upper to come back in stock. I already have a DD Mk18 RIS II rail so all I have to do cut the barrel back to 10.3" myself and then shave the FSB. That will not only be the best priced 10.3" option (complete upper <$600) but a heavy 10.3" HRT barrel should be more suitable for a FA host than a 10.3" CQB barrel. |

I never understood the use of the dodo brown rail on the block IIs
The rest of the rifle is usually black, (sometimes with some of he accessories being a different tan shade). Why not just have a Black DD RIS II handguard? When I build mine I’m going black. |

When I started out it would've been relatively easy for me to have gone either way, and I'm very glad I didn't. At this point, anything other than an FDE RIS II looks highly out of place. |
