So I just got my MK18 MOD 0 upper (mostly) put together and I have to say that I am not impressed. I got the (new) RAS on without fighting it too much and tightened down the screw but as a whole, its a rattle-fest. What were they thinking with the method of attaching the lower handguard piece? Held to the upper by spring tension from the weld spring at the back and a simple tuck under the front end-cap with no interlocking lugs, nubs, screws...nothing? There is North-South play at the front and if I grab the VFG and torque, I can get the lower half of the RAS to rotate without exerting much effort. Am I living in anomaly land or is this to be expected?
I was really looking forward to adding the MOD 0 to the collection but if loose, sloppy fit is par for the course, I'll just shave the FSB and tuck the barrel under a URX4 or something. |

I also put a rubber band over the extension before I put on a stock so the stock is solid and tight. It would drive me completely insane if *anything* on my rifle wobbled or had ANY slop. And yet every RAS I've ever owned has exceeded my expectations … I can't get them to move even a little no matter how hard I try. I guess the first thing I'd ask is are you sure it's a 100% authentic KAC RAS? And secondly, what URG are you using it on? Is there a chance the barrel is slightly out of spec? The way the AR-15 gas system is designed I bet a manufacturer could have their gas blocks just a hair forward and the rifle would still function just fine but it would totally affect rails like the RAS. The two different rifle brands I have them on are Colt and Daniel Defense. Also it seems weird to me that you got it on without fighting it too much. Mine have been a complete bitch to get on. The upper part has always been rock solid too before I even tighten the screw. The screw has seemed completely unnecessary in my experience. 
So odd. |

The upper part has always been rock solid too before I even tighten the screw. The screw has seemed completely unnecessary in my experience. So odd. When I first received the RAS, I was looking at it and thinking that it was entirely over-engineered and would probably not mount securely (due to the design of the lower half). I know it is constructed to that you can quickly remove the bottom hand guard but the execution of the final product leaves a lot to be desired. |

A quick Google search returns a long list of hits pertaining to this exact issue. Poor design and execution IMHO. I really want to like this upper so I think I am going to splurge on the UK version of the lower handguard half so that I can get a solid rail system. The weight and balance are really nice with the MOD 0 upper.

Oh, and you think a ring is bad, wait till you throw a baby into the mix. That's why I missed all the delicious clone action for the last year or so. And a CQBR related question, the Knight's NT4 is kosher on the Mk18 and both CQBR iterations, correct? But the newer SF SOCOM cans are only kosher on the current CQBRs and M4A1's with the DD rails? I'm going to tear down my non-spec CQBR, repurpose the 12.5 barrel, and get me a 6920 SOCOM to use as a clone host. I wanted to verify which can I could use on the most of my clones. |

I thought the Surefire can on the Mk18/CQBR was tagged as being Aussie SAS or something like that, not as US gun. It makes sense that at some point, the SOCOM RC's will find their way onto older variations that are still in circulation. I just might go with the Knight's whenever the time comes, it's been in use a long time and can be correct for a broad number of builds, back through Block I M4''s. I know it's a heavy pig of a can, but it does seem to be pretty robust. |

I was really looking forward to adding the MOD 0 to the collection but if loose, sloppy fit is par for the course, I'll just shave the FSB and tuck the barrel under a URX4 or something. That's absolutely normal. Every single one of the Mk18s I work with do that. Our shooters break them fairly often. We just got in a stack of the upgraded version that clamps in just like the top side. Much tighter and haven't seen one break yet (but it's only been a few weeks) |

CQBR upper as it sits while waiting for stamp to come back. Went to visit family in MT over the weekend and got to shoot it on a 6921 lower. Bad ass! And got to introduce my girlfriend's mom and sisters to the joy of shooting. And my girlfriend is fully hooked and says she thinks she has BRD and needs a rifle of her own... So I might piece together a PR for her...

If anyone is interested I have a brand new MK18 FDE upper in EE.

Well, here she is. Brand new CHF upper. I'm thinking of selling the entire upper (sans, BCG, and Aimpoint) including a black govt issue Enhanced SOPMOD and a brand new CQD rear endplate. All a buyer would have to do is place their Aimpoint in the Wilcox, throw in a BCG, replace their endplate w/ the CQD and switch out the stock. I'm gonna have to think about it for a day or two.
Or..... I could find a DD MK18 RIS II FSB and build it out as a Block 1.5 Decisions, decisions....   |

The M16 I have being transferred comes with I believe a 10.5 FSB upper. Might make it a MK18 Mod 0 when it arrives.

The half-dozen or more that I've had experience with in the Army all locked up tight no matter how hard or easy it installed. I've got both a M4 and M5 RAS hanging around the house that are really well used and they still lock up tight. |

Do the issued Mk18 Mod 1's have ambidextrous selector switches like the ones on the Colt 6920 M4A1 SOCOM models?
Looking through the pictures it looks like some do but most I can't tell based on firing hand position. |

Last NIB M4A1s we opened about 6 months ago were non-ambi. These from Crane or Colt? I'm kind of wondering what Crane does for extractor spring/o-ring, is it the COTS 5 coil like we've seen in the PowerPoint, or the Colt gold spring. Same goes for the CQBR and the one piece gas ring. |

Looking through the pictures it looks like some do but most I can't tell based on firing hand position. I've seen some M4A1s issued in some units with ambidextrous selectors - they're not the "Colt type" with the "docked" right side lever, they've all been "standard" full length levers on both side with a flush Allen screw, not the "proud" one on the Colt design. IIRC, some of the M4A1 PIPs that are being issued conventional side are supposed to be coming with the Colt-syle ambidextrous selector - but they will get the "MWS treatment," not SOPMOD. DSA has already said that they've received a contract to manufacture Colt-style selectors under license (can't be sold commercially) for the M4A1 PIP upgrade program. A member in Korea, IIRC, showed a picture of a big Army issued M4 (I think) with the Colt style ambi as well a couple months ago. I'm not sure whom the manufacturer is for the Crane/SOPMOD ambi is, probably multiple sources - maybe even DPMS, which is why they can claim "Defense Procurement." ~Augee |

I thought I read at one point that the ambi safety used in the SOPMOD program is made by LMT...?

Have to send my EOtech 553 in for repair - the reticle fades as it nears the edges of the window.
I let it go for a while, but it's been getting on my nerves the last couple of range trips so it's going back to EOtech. Unfortunately, it's just over 2 years old now, so I don't think this would be covered under the warranty anymore.

You lost your goddamn mind? Mine wants me to build her an AR of her own. I've been trying to talk her into letting me have a ring made with an elk ivory but she seems like she wants a new gun more. That makes her either the best girlfriend of all time, or she's gearing up to be my enemy... Kinda like when the US gave the Taliban arms, funding, and training back in the '80's and now they use it against us... |
