I was thinking about building my third mk18. Looking to start with the stripped Daniel uppers from brownells. Just looked it up, and they are almost 1k now. Am I crazy or did they used to sell for $6-700?

Without the can the brake is annoying, with the can I have to deal with it afterwards as it’s always getting stuck. I should mention I’m usually doing full auto mag dumps with it...so I’m talking about lots of carbon build up, and SERIOUSLY getting stuck |

So do the new Surefire mounts help with not fusing to the suppressors during use?
Or are they just easier to clean the carbon from? Good luck guys! I lost 44 pounds in the last 7 months. My daughter was born and a week later I said enough was enough lol. I was 2 lbs from 200....and I didn’t want to see that on the scale. Planning to maintain at 150, so 4 lbs to go! |

View Quote Best bet is to start with a reasonably clean mount each time if you want to minimize chances of sticking (and maintain the mount surfaces internally); maybe add some kind of high temp anti-seize like the Loctite LB 8008 I mentioned and try to remove the can before it completely cools. If you're starting with a clean MD, I find that sticking isn't much of a problem until you get above 400 or 500rds in a single session. Of course, that depends on the length of cooling cycles and that's rapid semi; with FA the heat is gonna make it happen faster and at a lower threshold. You're not having to shoot it off or anything, are you? Usually worst-case for me is having to pry it gently with a flathead (wrapped in a cotton patch) between the RIS II and the unlocked collar to break it loose. |
