If somethin goes bump in the night, a light laser combo is great to have for active aiming. I really like my eod clone with the m6x for those situations. i currently don't have any situations where NV would be beneficial for me. It'd just be a novelty or an expensive toy, or strictly for cloning. The added bulk and gear needed to go IR out weighs any benefits in my case. Now thermal, is something I could get into. (Is passive shooting when you shoot through the optic, and active shooting when you use a laser device?) Clone life doesn't care about your finances or the weight of a product Give me the orders and the funding and I’m on it! |

So, I finally made it to the range since installing the new barrel (colt 10.3" cqb), badger ord mk12 go, and 4p/RC socom combo. I also have a standard carbine buffer spring an a colt h2 buffer. I'm very pleased with how well everything went. I took both steel cased .223 TulAmmo and AE xm193af90. 500 rounds, 1 failure to eject, and spent shell casings were ejecting between 2:30 and 4 depending on which ammo was being shot. I didn't experience any excess gas blowback to the face, which was great because I was using the acog ta01nsn with my nose to the pri gas buster ch. The mk18/cqbr system really is an elegant design.
Having said that, would I be run off for running an Ace branded m4 socom stock? It just came in today, and I wanted to see how it felt on my block 2 setup, and now I don't want to take it off. Attached File Attached File |

Two questions for the hive, building a mk18-0. Was the Arms #22M68 mount ever used in place of the Wilcox? I’m assuming not because I can’t remember seeing any reference to it. Also if I’m planning on running suppressed all the time, would you suggest or see a benefit in swapping the colt bolt to a LMT-e bolt?

The mk18 was designed to do well suppressed, so I don't see why you would need to get to fancy when it comes to the bcg. Mine runs great suppressed with an old worn in colt bcg.
