For many building a rifle is satisfying enough to make firing the necessary and conclusive final step, a satisfaction that is shared in many hobbies. I've built several, sighted them in and use them to attract dust away from my next build.

I have a block II FSP M4A1 upper I'm finishing up (pinned A2X) and as I expect I won't be getting the SF can anytime soon (or probably ever), I'm toying with selling off the barrel and (originally black but krylon'd) RIS from my mk18, and using that to do a 11.5 BFH from BCM and probably ALG handguard. Dunno. I feel that feel though, bro. |

"The" Costa said in an interview following his runway appearance in Japan that airsoft players in Asia make extraordinary efforts to copy the kit of the live-fire groups they choose to cosplay, as a way to honor said groups.
Imitation isn't always about flattery, most times it just works. Such could be said of the subject of this clone thread and others clone threads. I will shortly be committing heresy and building up a CQBR in 300BLK. |

Planning on building one. I have the 14.5" MK18 MOD0 block I. Planning on getting a 10.3" upper.
Is the Colt MK18 URG being sold by SAW a cut-down or factory 10.3"? Or it is marked C MP CB 5.56MM NATO 1/7 under the hand-guard? It says chromed chamber & bore on description but can't really make it out on the pics. |

I was able to pick up my URG with a Gov. contract Daniel Defense 10.3" barrel. I'm not too sure on rarity, but I don't see too many of them.

Plus they're made in USA. arrived today (gonna post in the Mk12 thread as well since both rifles use this style stock as an option) https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/438461/IMG-0959-117424.JPG After seeing this, I went on CDNN and ordered the complete kit for 49.99 (SOPMOD, Mil Spec buffer tube, spring, buffer, plate and castle nut) It just got here today. The stock appears to be exactly the same one as js1977. I guess I should have known that the other parts would be questionable. They dont look bad, but I didn't compare directly. The RE is Chinese manufactured. I should have known. I try to use US made parts where available in my builds. I dont mind paying more within reason. I see all the small business that are springing up around the firearms industry, and do my best to support them as long as they or have someone manufacture here in the US. My dad and many many family members were auto workers, so it was instilled in me early on. I wont use the parts other than the stock (made in the US), but its still a decent price for a stock. Let me know by EMAIL if anyone wants the other pieces of kit, $10 and Ill get it in the mail Monday. First one in my inbox gets it as long as PP funds are received. Service was quick....

Got the barrel back from chop today. Just waiting on BCG and eventually a "C" upper. Really digging the KISS setup of this upper. Feels soooo much handier than the CQBR or M4.

And FYI: If you want to have your Surefire can repainted, they charge $80 to strip, paint and change out the locking ring as its anodized.
So for those who bought a black can but wish you had an FDE SOCOM, there you go. Have to call Surefire to get it setup. |

I gave the snow camo a shot, but I was too lazy to tape off the accessories so I just took them off. Now that I got it back together I think I'm going to have to paint the accessories as well.

So I used to have these uppers on one lower... then the M4A1 upper turned into another rifle and the CQBR upper turned into another mod 0 upper... I need another safe. The funny thing is I used to laugh at the guys with a bunch of ARs... now ive got like five in 5.56 and one in .300 BLK (PDW build)... 
I've only got the 1 SBR lower and I don't feel like going through the hoops any time soon to do 2 more. I was only really concerned with doing one so that I would have a copy of my deployment M4, then I realized I could do a Mk18/CQBR and run them and be sorta-ish correct. One day I'll do some more. |

Not intentional. Actually my pics turned out really grainy after sending them from my iPhone to my laptop and then to Photobucket. The crisp resolution went out the window; I need to break out my wife's Canon 6D and stop disappointing myself. The backdrop is really low tech - it's a tri-fold Presentation Board from Walgreens or similar. I try and time my pics with good outside sunlight and lay everything out on the ground. Then I just edit the pics on my phone and adjust the exposure until the white is crisp and (most of) the shadows are gone. Super easy. |
