I haven't tried any on it since installing. There should be enough room for most...

Just went and measured and there is 0.26" between the shoulder and the rail.

Aesthetically, cutout rails are my favorite way to go with 14.5". I'd probably just stick the rail on and skip the LW barrel, though.

Finally got my stamp back yesterday and was able to put a few rounds through the gun.

Gripod FTW it'll be switched out for a TD VFG when I get around to ordering one. Although I actually like the gripod when using the magnifier, if only it wasn't so damn big.

Did a quick zeroing before I head to the range tomorrow and actually dial it in. Top and bottom groups are from 50 yds and the 4 middle hits are just from finishing off the mag at 5yds. Not the best groups but i'll see what I can get out of it at the range tomorrow.

I just can't get down with the 16" barrel and carbine gas length. I personally feel the 14.5 will look more in place. I know it's superficial but, it's also an aesthetics thing for me. I'm also considering going with a complete 6921 upper since that's the Colt I've always wanted along with a 6933.

I'd have it chopped down, rather than pay for a new barrel. I have to agree on the 14.5", though. The longest AR I own is 14.5".

For the most part, I'd have to agree. The difference in handling is rather amazing between 20" and 14.5", plus, of course, the fact that it's all but wasted barrel length. I have a near-fetish for tiny guns, though. Smaller is almost always better when it comes to non-precision stuff. Hence why I'm mainly in this thread, rather than the M4 thread.

I have been wanting to blaspheme against the world and make a 6.5G A2 or A4 clone, though. Doublestar Corp makes a 20" 6.5 upper that would fit the bill.

I've long learned that there's very little anyone gains practically speaking by going longer than 14.5 inches with a 5.56.

Anyone left wanting with a 14.5" 5.56 needs to seek a different caliber.

Frankly, the only "practical" argument I've ever heard in favor of going beyond 14.5 inches with a 5.56 is from the guys who like to turn prairie dogs into pink mist. And that being considered a practical advantage is surely up for debate.

Well, obviously...

ETA - I had a like new spare 2 MOA T1 in LaRue tall QD mount I would've offered you on the cheap earlier, but someone finally came through with a Western Sport 10.3" DD barrel/Mk12 GB combo this afternoon. Will soon have my fourth CQBR complete, and that T1 will be going on top.

It's 75% because I want to have something I can grab from the trunk and go without worrying about turning it on (and I'm not the biggest fan of the 30mm body dots), and 25% because they look b'dass.

This. The only actual "Mk18" is produced by NSWC -Crane and issued complete to VBSS teams and a few others I'm not sure of. Everything else of the 10.3 URG variety that sits on top of a M4A1 lower is an accessory to the "kit" and is a M4A1 CQBR.

Aahh, I see where you are going. My apologies. Might have to page Augee on that one. From my limited reading, Crane engraved them both ways. Still looking into it now.

It's pretty common knowledge that they were for a time.


This. The only actual "Mk18" is produced by NSWC -Crane and issued complete to VBSS teams and a few others I'm not sure of. Everything else of the 10.3 URG variety that sits on top of a M4A1 lower is an accessory to the "kit" and is a M4A1 CQBR.

Mk18 MOD 0

That shows the typical engraving I've always seen though, and I'm aware of the difference between a Mk18 and a CQBR.

I'm talking about this engraving on Mk18s:

No worries. I was just curious if anyone knew if that predated the "MK18 MOD 0" engraving, or if they were done simultaneously for a time, or what.

Don't know the seller, but solid price on a TA-31 with extras for you ACOG guys:

Click

I'd grab it myself if I didn't just get a TA31-ECOS from DSG.

I've got a few launchers but can never find flares.


I have one as well... no flares either...

Does anyone know if TruFlareUSA's MK80's will work on these?  if so they have a 6 pack for $29


I tried some of theirs a couple years ago and they don't work. Not even close to fitting


That's upsetting since they sell a "MK31" type launcher on their site


Yeah I was pretty upset about it, especially with the $16 hazmat charge

It's nice. I thought about the EXPS, too, but the T1 kind of fell in my lap, and I've been happy with it. It's mostly a placeholder for when I can afford to replace it with an Elcan.

Meh....I'm just not a fan of the "widened" stocks like the SOPMOD and STR.  I figure something that locks up good and solid, weighs less than a CTR, and got to my door for under 30 bucks....worst case is, it goes on something else and I take a different route.  Don't foresee that happening though, cause so far I like everything about it.

I need a gen 1 SOPMOD. I miss both of my SOPMOD's.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've disliked every SOPMOD style stock I've tried. I prefer waffles, CARs and MOEs, depending on the rifle.

Another generous ARFCOM member over a year ago created the artwork for laser engraving for me.  Anyone else want it let me know, happy to share.



The laser file is inverted, as the laser sees black as ON and white as OFF.
