Really thinking about selling my MK18 rail and swapping to a MK8. My "CQBR" has never been close to correct, wrong lower, upper, BCG, and silencer. Has anyone here switched to a G rail, and regretted it?

I went with a Geissele Mk 14 rail and could not be happier with the looks and the way it handles. I'm hoping to eventually get the DD Mk 18 rail someday also.

Can't speak from direct experience, but I will say I think the G rails in DDC look awesome on a CQBR. Probably will be the next thing I build.
I'm debating right now whether I should just buy a 6920 and part it out for a better looking lower to SBR :\. I've got the Form 1 all ready for this Brownells Colt lower - all I need to do is put on postage - but I keep hesitating. It isn't even the rollmark that bothers me, it's the cockeyed selector stops. It's also kinda nice to have a Colt lower that is pistol legal, but that's way, way down on the list of considerations. Mostly it's just the idea of being stuck with funky selector stops on a Form 1 lower. What to do? Ahhhh! |

I tend to get super OCD over the tiniest shit too at times. In spurts. I kid you not, I have kept myself up at night tripping over "oh my god my lowers' FCG pin holes are getting wollowed out, my lower is done for!" - and now (about 4 years later) that same lower is still working 100 percent perfect, without a single issue at all.
I said all that to say, at the end of the day, as long as it works right.....fuck it. |

I mean overall, it's not such a huge deal that it stopped me from getting all the paperwork ready, but at the same time I'm pretty OCD about certain stuff. Things out of balance or not symmetrical can bug me :\. I'm surprised a KAC lower would have funky, mismatched stops on it.
The other option is to go ahead and Form 1 this, then do an 80% M4A1 marked lower (which is what I really want) for the CQBR down the road. Then I could swap this one onto my Mk18 pistol, rattle can it and never know the difference. That probably makes more sense, to be honest... but I'm still tempted to go the 6920 route. I guess I'll vacillate for awhile and see where things land, heh. |

My Brownell's Colt Lower came in, same deal as most, light strike on the L, CR serial, but otherwise fine - a few rub marks on the right side of the magwell but nothing worth fretting about. AR's fall in to the tools not art category for me, so don't worry much about minor marks, etc - heck most get painted anyway :). Selectors "stops" are flat, but all of my Colt lowers are flat I am pretty sure - my Noveske, BCM, Brownells/Nodak A1, etc are all proud.

Of course, to get a DD 10.3" with an F marked FSB pretty much means having to buy it separately and send it to a be pinned. After the extra fees/shipping, that BA option could be pretty attractive - especially if you wait for a sale. |

I think their standard 10.3/10.5 port is .078; it'd suck if that's what they used. I suppose you could always use one of the .070 inserts from BRT, but that'd pretty much make any pricing advantage over a DD 10.3 go *poof*. |

Bill Geissele just announced Mk16 rail will be the new sopmod rail. He's doing a press conference that's live on youtube and instagram. It sounds like the only way to buy the rail as a civilian is to buy the complete URG which he is calling the "URG-I." He also said the DD has won the contract for manufacturing barrels.
