Nice, congrats on the RC. Seems like a lot of people are about to get them back. Thanks! and yeah, it really is a pleasure to shoot, I'm hooked. Still need to Form-1 an appropriate lower, and get something more inline with the correct sight. But this is by far my favorite gun I own.

Question. I could have sworn I've seen them in usage, but are Surefire X300's "clone kosher?"
I've decided to trade away my WMX because I've pushed my plans for NV down the road for a while, and I figured it'd make a nice, lightweight option for this rifle. It also helps that I have an extra one.

I simply had a notification stating that my own account had been subtracted for your cost of a L3/Insight WMX200 (Tan). My partner and i ordered that about July 19 so it entirely possible that they are really shipping and delivery!

It also helps that I have an extra one. Definitely kosher and a fantastic light for this gun. Super small, lightweight, compact and really bright. The paddle switch is also incredibly easy and natural to use when wrapping your hand around the rail - much more so than tail cap buttons of standard weapon lights. If it wasn't for the IR capability of the WMX I'd still be running it as my primary light. Absolutely loved it on there. The gallery that's linked on page 1 is pretty easy to flip through to see various setups. This guy's rifle was always one of my favorites. I had mine setup exactly the same way where when my hand was wrapped around the AFG my middle finger was right on the paddle of the X300 and thumb was on the PEQ. |

I might give up on the wmx200 and just go with a m300v Yeah, I loved the idea of it coming from a clone mindset, but in all actuality, it isn't all that much better than the Surefire dual output units. It does have a little bit more white light output (albeit a lot more spill, it doesn't have tons of throw) and the switchology is definitely superior, I just don't feel it's THAT much better than an M300V or M600V to justify the added cost plus the "pain in the ass" factor of trying to find one. I will admit that it is really a perfect pair with a full power PEQ-15. I took mine into work and fucked around with it in conjunction with my issue PEQ-15. The combination of a really wide IR output or spill from the WMX coupled with the adjustable, more focus-able, illluminator on the PEQ is just about perfect. |

Activating it is a lot more intuitive than I thought it would be. |

So, for those in the know:
Is mixing accessories acceptable between MK18 variants? Such as BUIS from a Block II on a MK18 Mod0 variant or a EOtech on a Block I. Generic examples, mainly anything from one core weapon being used on another core weapon. Just wondering how much variation on setups may exist and what is acceptable for cloning. |

Now, 5 months after getting mine, I think I maybe have used them for about 5 minutes in my house, and another 5 to 10 minutes on a camping trip lol. I would have long parted with them already if it weren't for the whole better to have and not need than to need and not have saying. I really am eyeing the new KAC SR-25 APCs though...and my PVS-14 wouid cover at least half of one...

Love that rifle. Shoot me an IM next time you are in GA. I'll have my nods and place to shoot at night hopefully. Eric and i come as a pair. NO HOMO |

With regards to the ELCAN convo, I personally feel it also has to do with shooting style in relation to one would get the ideal eye relief. When I mount it on my CQBR, I have to have the stock 2 notches out from the closed position and slightly blade my stance whereas when I put it on my 14.5 with a 13" rail, it seems as if it's a little more forgiving and I can square up like I normally shoot. This is with a rear BUIS mounted and the ELCAN sitting right in front... Just my personal experience. |

If you use them or need them there is no substitution for NV. Just suck it up and do it.

What makes you want the dual setup when you're using it? I've really been preferring single vs double lately. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TinyCrumb:

I've really been preferring single vs double lately. looking through one eye/tube for a couple hours while walking really makes me want to see out of the other eye, it gets annoying. I imagine that having one eye fully dilated and the other fully constricted messes with your brain a bit. |

~Augee Neil called me when you stopped by the shop (Gun Gallery) and I was actually in a meeting or would have showed up just to shoot the shit with you Augee.. Would've been great to meet some folks, though I didn't have much time that day - that being said, while it's not exactly "right down the road," I don't think I'd realized/processed how close Jacksonville is to me, I might try to make it down more often if there are matches or shoots going on. ~Augee |

Is there anyone left that has the DD FDE Mk18 rails in stock or are they now completely unobtainum without buying a complete upper or rifle from DD?
