So many people will use the LED version as a "close enough" substitute. Looks good enough from 25ft away sorta thing. The real solution is to go with the more modern Insight WMX-200 in bronze which is what replaced the SU-233. But those are hard to find and typically run $800+ when you do. Here's a good look at an SU-233:

I'll grab it if the guy still has it. $200 CAD which is about $160 USD. That newer light......holy, don't think I could live with myself to cough up that kind of coin for illumination, lol! |

I have a question. What trigger are most guys using on their Mk18 Mod 0 or CQBR? I have a standard mil-spec type trigger in it right now along with a M16 selector (modified to SP1 specs). I know that the Mk18 CQBR originally used a standard M16A1 lower and FCG.

Lol, tell me about it. I was posting my Mk18 Mod 0 progress a couple of hundred pages back (this thread, holy fuck.....so....many.....pages!!!!), and that one I went to the ends of the earth to source parts for (a lot are unobtainium in Canada) and I just wrapped up an attempt at a Mk12 Mod 1 build. I limited myself to that one being “close enough”, but if I continued down that path it would have ended in divorce. The Mark 4 was not in the cards - not for $1,900 CAD, and my barrel was completely wrong, but it’s a good shooter and I didn’t want to chop it down from 20” to 18”, and I didn’t want to start a whole new build around the correct Douglas barrel.

Anyway I wouldn't bother converting it, unless every other aspect of your MK18 is dead on - it's such a minor detail. Plus I'm sure they will start issuing the new battery model at some point anyway. |
