Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: Also, anyone have any NSW pics with NT4 and DD rail? Were they ever used? Or did they quit using the NT4 with the mod 0? I *think* most of these are Navy.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: Good stuff. I forgot about the mk18 with x24 having the cob. I always do this. I go back and forth between cqbr and mod 0. Mod 0 just has the perfect look but the cqbr honestly is still a really relevant shooter. You always have the pictures, any good Marsoc pics with tan NT4's and EXPS? https://imgur.com/a/5uRpZIv |

Probably a lot of dupes from Jon's post but here's a few I have sitting around with NT4 actually attached *and* EXPS. Plenty more of either NT4 w/ ELCAN or EXPS with NT4 flash hider but no can attached.

Well, if we're on the subject Mk 18s with Taupe NT4… one of my all time favorite builds is the USCG MSST/MSRT Mk 18s. There's a few variances but mostly common components if you look for patterns. I find this build interesting because even though some of the core components are considered "old" by today's standard (KAC RAS, NT4, etc…), when you build one up it ends up still being an incredibly capable & handy build.

Do we know if the AF is throwing those RIII's on 10.5's because they have the same barrel nut as the RIS II, or are these new 11.5" uppers?

Finally got around to putting the 4 prong on. Now I need to decide if I'm going to pick up a can. I forgot to pay attention to where I had the T2 mounted so I'll have to take it out and shoot it a bit again to figure out where I want it. I've got a 150 yd range behind the cabin and can ring the silhouette with ease. Fun and handy little rifle.
I didnt take the cloning quite as far as most with correct lower/uppers, but it's close enough for my desires.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Teller_Ulam: How does the NT4 sound? I've never heard one in person. I think it sounds nice with a deeper tone even on shorter barrels. It doesn't have as sharp of a "bite" as some other 5.56 cans I've shot. I do always ear pro when shooting centerfire rifle so take that into account. |

This is only based on one post I have read, but I also use a Badger Ordnance since they are within spec. Also because I have not been able to get a Coronet Surplus gas block yet. |

The Coronet and Badger block are 100 percent identical. The only difference you can distinguish between them is in the machining marks. The set screws that the badger comes with are also far too long. |

Coronet is the most produced and used. There are several cage codes that show up under the NSN. 9K646-Coronet 3E3E2-Daniel Defense 12255-Crane Coronet comes individually packaged and cage coded. Once we had some packs of 5/10 in a foil/wax paper wrapping, not marked. So, don't know the manufacture. |
