Scrub it with an old toothbrush, wipe it off, put the can back on it, and store it. No wonder the can got stuck. Look at that thing.

Did someone mention/question photos with a peq 14 on here a few weeks back? I think in the pic a guy had both a peq14 and light on his rifle. There is one on eBay right now not sure if the price is good or not, it's not mine. Sorry if I violated anything just thought I would help the person out if they were searching for one.

CD posted some pics awhile back of a NG unit that had some state purchased mini monsters. I believe it was 20th SFG IIRC. 28th EOD Company also seems to run minis along with NT4s on their 10.3" uppers. They also run FSP Lite rails which kinda cool too. (Lots of Surefire minis and 720vs)

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ShiftSix:
That works when you can get the latch free... Mine, the latch was frozen in the locked position. This has happened once to me. It was after about 800-900 rounds on full auto. I let the can cool too long before I remembered to go shoot it off and sure enough the latch was welded shut. To make matters worse, it was back when I used to keep my laser and light hanging off the front of the rail a bit so I couldn't even get a tool in there. Ended up having to take the laser off and then re-zero it next time I was out. Since then, I now run my light and laser right even with the end of the rail. And then I picked up a super small cheap strap wrench at Lowes for like $7.99. The way the strap wrench works, there's a nub where the rubber loop goes back through it, so if you put that part *right* on the latch, it essentially pushes the latch in while your twisting it. And then the wrench itself gives it enough torque to make it come free. Works extremely well for $8. Also, I've since leaned you don't have to crank that latch down when you first put the can on. So I basically just get it finger tight now without trying to get it an extra click or two like I used to before. |

For whatever reason the LITE rail FSP seems to show up every now and again. 28th EOD seems to run a lot of them from the ridiculous amount of pics I have of them on different configs. Most often they're just seen on standard 10.3" FSP uppers but some of the guys are running them with low-pro gas blocks (like the last pic I posted). Assuming they probably ran out of RIS IIs or they were delayed or whatever. CD would probably know better why that happens sometimes. I'm not sure I understand your question about being a Mk 18. These guys are Army, not Navy. Assuming just like the minis that they're unit purchased and just giving the guys a nice FF rail to run on their 10.3" uppers with more rail space. |

I still prefer a M79 over the M203 or M302. Longer barrel = more range and I've used it as light mortar in built up areas. (use a angle protactor to figure range and mark inside of sling. Step on sling for range on ground, ref 1970s M79 OM) Carried a 79 in Iraq 03-06'. Math and shit... my head went to mush at the word "protractor". |

For whatever reason the LITE rail FSP seems to show up every now and again. 28th EOD seems to run a lot of them from the ridiculous amount of pics I have of them on different configs. Most often they're just seen on standard 10.3" FSP uppers but some of the guys are running them with low-pro gas blocks (like the last pic I posted). Assuming they probably ran out of RIS IIs or they were delayed or whatever. CD would probably know better why that happens sometimes. I'm not sure I understand your question about being a Mk 18. These guys are Army, not Navy. Assuming just like the minis that they're unit purchased and just giving the guys a nice FF rail to run on their 10.3" uppers with more rail space. The 28th EOD (Abn) is at times attached to SOCOM at Bragg. So they'll seem to get some items and have the ability to purchase some more if shortages exist. Just remember Mk18 are not used by the Army. We use the same gun just called M4A1 URG with either 10.3" or 14.5" bbl or as you call Block II. CD |

I think he was trying to tell me that, cuz I mentioned Mk18. Sorry about that. So, CQBR with a funky rail, right? Or did I get that wrong.
In other groundbreaking news, milspec just posted in the Mk12 thread.

I know the RC/RC2 is clone correct, but is anyone running the Mini on their Mk18 build? Pics? Also, between RC and RC2, which are most of you going with? I love when I see there are new posts in this thread .
Thanks! Some of the DEA FAST guys were running Minis over here. |

This has happened once to me. It was after about 800-900 rounds on full auto. I let the can cool too long before I remembered to go shoot it off and sure enough the latch was welded shut. To make matters worse, it was back when I used to keep my laser and light hanging off the front of the rail a bit so I couldn't even get a tool in there. Ended up having to take the laser off and then re-zero it next time I was out. Since then, I now run my light and laser right even with the end of the rail. And then I picked up a super small cheap strap wrench at Lowes for like $7.99. The way the strap wrench works, there's a nub where the rubber loop goes back through it, so if you put that part *right* on the latch, it essentially pushes the latch in while your twisting it. And then the wrench itself gives it enough torque to make it come free. Works extremely well for $8. Also, I've since leaned you don't have to crank that latch down when you first put the can on. So I basically just get it finger tight now without trying to get it an extra click or two like I used to before. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TinyCrumb:

We burned through 25 or so mags in short order, and that bitch is welded on, now. The latch will not depress AT ALL. I assume getting her smokey hot again will relieve this? Appreciate any input. This is the first time it has happened. |
