I don't see the pin for a sear, and is that a hex screw in the magwell and the upper?

Here's a link to a version of this photo that can be blown up. Linky
It most definitely has an auto sear pin. I'm thinking it's an de-miled weapon, though. It's got what appears to be a rivet through the upper receiver wall as well as the magazine well wall. ETA: Strangely, when zoomed in, it appears the muzzle has been photoshopped on the Mk18. |

An upper usually wouldn't have one of it's on either. And something looks fucky about the end of the A2

Does the CQBR use a cutdown SOCOM or Govt profile barrel? Think I've seen people do both...

From what I remember those aren't rivets, but some sort of tracking / i.d. deal. That muzzle is most definitely photochopped though. Looks to me like it actually was a 10.3" barrel and someone made it longer.

They used to put them in their older rifles to prevent them from being used with any select fire parts. That one appears to be complete with the flathead pivot pin and oversized trigger pins. |

I see a gloved finger inside the trigger guard. I'd assume that his finger is covering the trigger. |

Got bored waiting on my EXPS3 from DSG, so figured I'd toss my TA31F onto my CQBR. Quite honestly, I like it better than the Elcan.
Definitely lighter and just "carries" better. Not sure how to describe it. Alas, it's bound for my 14.5" Block II w/ a DD RIS II FSP rail though.
Other than that, made a few changes after having it set up for a while and using it. - Ditched the Insight dual switch. Damn thing was just too bulky. I tried it in probably 5 different spots and just couldn't get it to work for me. I used the single tape switch the WMX200 came with and mounted it behind the light, at the 3 o'clock, underneath the camo wrap. It's zip tied to the rail and then had the wrap placed over it. Seems secure as hell, so I don't think it's going anywhere. I also figure once I get my ATPIAL-C I'll just use the "fire" button on the top of the unit. My work M4 with a PEQ-15 doesn't have a tape switch and I just use the fire button whenever I'm fucking around with it, so it should be familiar. - Also ditched the TD VFG. I've been moving away from these lately, it just seems more comfortable without. I'm also thinking of ditching the WMX. Not sure why, I just feel like it's quite a bit of money tied up into a VBL just for the sake of being "clone correct." I've been using a M952V on my work carbine for years now and I've never found it lacking (being honest, it's not like I've used it in any "real" situation, essentially just training and fucking around), but even under a PVS-14 I've never been wanting for something else. Thinking maybe one of the newer M600V's in a Danger Close offset mount. Thoughts from anybody who has owned one of the newer dual output Surefires? Anyway, picture thread:

Not worthy of page ownage yet, but I'll take it!
A few pages back (264) it was suggested I get a Gen I black LMT stock and a PRI Gasbuster. I was thinking also a Gear Sector offset mount for the light. What else do I need? .........besides a PeQ-15 (civie model equivalent) pbjunkiee, is this the one you were thinking of? 
I received the lower from the anodizer last week, and here's where it's at now. I need to swap out the upper receivers, to get rid of the DD white, and get the "C" stamp. The Surefire Rc FDE is still in jail, hopefully soon on it. I went with the SF brake, but might machine a correct 4 prong until the time I might find a SF 4 prong. 
The can is in jail, but my dealer called and let me have a photo session.

I lay down a base coat of 1-2 colors, and then let it dry for 20 minutes. After that I'll stick the laundry netting to the still tacky paint and then paint my top 1-2 colors. Those look like you'd need to slide them over the part, probably fucking up your base coat. I suppose if you waited until your base coat was completely dry, you could use those. Or if you cut them up.

I lay down a base coat of 1-2 colors, and then let it dry for 20 minutes. After that I'll stick the laundry netting to the still tacky paint and then paint my top 1-2 colors. Those look like you'd need to slide them over the part, probably fucking up your base coat. I suppose if you waited until your base coat was completely dry, you could use those. Or if you cut them up. This might be a good time for me to ask if there is a tutorial someplace, to guide me though the process. Thanks. |

I've been thinking about doing a tutorial for my process. I've got some parts to complete a lower coming later on this week and I'll be needing to paint it (seeing as the upper is already painted). Maybe I'll draw up a post with pictures and post it in this thread if anybody would be interested. |

I've seen several variations of that pattern on several guns on this site and love it. I feel bad mooching off a thread I haven't been able to participate in yet but I suppose I could post up my A2 grip after I finally paint to keep everything on topic. |

The video has high enough resolution for you to see how the ejected cases rotated and their projectile, with respect to the angle the gun was held, to infer, to a pretty good degree, that it is not an over gassed gun, compared to a regular military 14.5.LINK to the video again for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Qh7F-ARwI. |

You could get lucky on the used market, but it'll cost you. I had a WTB ad in the EE for damn near a full year with no luck. ETA: IIRC, there was a member in this thread a while back who stated he'd sell one of his for something around $500-$600. |

Not worthy of page ownage yet, but I'll take it! A few pages back (264) it was suggested I get a Gen I black LMT stock and a PRI Gasbuster. I was thinking also a Gear Sector offset mount for the light. What else do I need? .........besides a PeQ-15 (civie model equivalent) pbjunkiee, is this the one you were thinking of? http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/T00lmanii/M4a1ano_zps09267f0c.jpg I received the lower from the anodizer last week, and here's where it's at now. I need to swap out the upper receivers, to get rid of the DD white, and get the "C" stamp. The Surefire Rc FDE is still in jail, hopefully soon on it. I went with the SF brake, but might machine a correct 4 prong until the time I might find a SF 4 prong. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/T00lmanii/PC086471_zpsb1b58b49.jpg http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/T00lmanii/PC086472_zpse0edff2c.jpg The can is in jail, but my dealer called and let me have a photo session. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/T00lmanii/MK18607SF_zps79b90513.jpg Who did the engraving on your 80% lower? |

ETA: IIRC, there was a member in this thread a while back who stated he'd sell one of his for something around $500-$600. They're still in production. You can still obtain them, however, on the DD MK18 complete upper. DD has said that once they catch up on their SOCOM contract they might offer them to the commercial market again in FDE for individual sale. I don't know if they've changed their mind on this, though, so if anyone has info to the contrary I will correct myself. You can find the black RIS II just about anywhere if you don't mind painting it. |
