I know a few pages back a few people were looking for the DDMK18 uppers.
I don't know this person, but they posted a new one in the EE for $930 which is a solid price. |

So I'm finally DONE with this build. I did it as "to-spec" as possible without a registered M16 lower. The only thing bugging me is that I'm having trouble finding a spray paint color that is a happy mendium in matching the other tan/taupe/FDE accessories. Parts list: Colt 6933 lower receiver (with Colt LPK) Colt 4-positon buffer tube Colt H2 buffer w Colt spring LMT Gen 1 SOPMOD in Tan CQD rear sling plate Colt M4 upper receiver PRI Gas Buster w "Military" latch Colt 14.5" NATO barrel cut to 10.3" Colt FA BCG w Colt gold extractor spring and high reliability o-ring Daniel Defense Mk12 gas block KAC NT4 flash hider Daniel Defense Mk18 RIS II rail in taupe (or whatever color they call it) CQD front sling mount Eotech 553 Insight M3x (with gold label) and Insight dual switch KAC front sight in Taupe KAC 300m rear sight Here's the funny thing, and tell me if I'm crazy, but even though this is supposed to be a higher-speed/lower-drag/cool-guy build.... I think I kind of like my old (stolen) Block 1 a little better. Am I nuts? I mean I JUST finished this build and it ran 100% with ALL ammo types at a recent competition. Not a single failure and I intentionally ran mags filled with XM193, PMC Bronze, Wolf, whatever WalMart had, and even some random rounds I found on the ground and it ran like a Swiss watch. So why then am I thinking about trading this upper for a Block 1 or a .308 bolt gun? I must be nuts. |

Also, for the PG, have you looked into a taupe pistol grip like the one from the KAC taupe mod 0's? They match the FDE SOPMOD's very well. |

Solid, factory "colorized" stocks only look good on no-paint builds, or mismatched ones with beat up paint/half unpainted, etc.
IMHO, the only reason to get a 511 or 551 model EOTech is if you're building a specific clone of a specific model/era, i.e. basically, either an HK416 or MRE or KAC FF RAS equipped M4A1 build. The 511/551 series was discontinued by EOTech, and no longer supported by them, and generally regarded as one of the most troubling EOTech variants, not to mention that the N-cells are hard to find and expensive. Of course... none of these things is stopping me from trying to find one, and/or trade my 552 for one - but then again, when you're looking at EOTech #5, you can take a little gamble, because I want one badly for my MRE build.

Too rich for my blood for what they are to buy outright. I'll take a 511, but what I'm really looking for is the 551, which comes up less frequently, and are usually not Rev. F models, I have a handy dandy guide to figuring out which model you have posted in in the WTS/WTT thread.
Once again, since they're no longer supported by EOTech, while I could care less about how beat up cosmetically they are, I'd like to cover myself by at least getting the most updated/latest electronics - if my 552 goes down, I can always send it back in for refurb. Not so much with the 511/551, I think they'll offer to sell you a 512/552. Not that I've ever had to have an EOTech sent back, all five of mine have worked great so far, including the LawGuns 553, but the 511/551 series are pretty much just like the LawGuns 553s, if they ever stop working, they're paperweights. Granted, I don't mind buying out of warranty items that are at least still supported - but I won't buy unsupported equipment unless I'm getting a great deal on it, this is a lesson I've learned, incidentally, from buying un-supported "retro" Aimpoint models that I've promptly broken and ended up having to sell as paperweights. ~Augee |

I sold it off for an exps. The batteries would die constantly. Like all the time. My brother in law has a 511 and his is the same way. He doesn't even keep the batteries in it because it drains them when its off. On another note I think I'm going to go with a Govnah MK18 extra gas model. The Syrac is cool and all but the fact you can switch the Govnah on the fly is a huge plus. |

Okay dudes I'm getting out of the Mk18 game. I have my block ii upper. I have a Daniel Defense factory mk18 upper, FDE rail. Upper itself has been painted, rail has not. 200 rounds through it and it runs flawless. I'm looking for 600. I also have a LMT mk18 upper, KAC RAS, Wilcox mount, Aimpoint PRO (same housing as comp m2 but with a 2moa dot, far better imo, Surefire M951, also painted. Looking for 600 for the whole package. Willing to combine both uppers for 1100. Buying new turbos for my car so I'm just trying to make quick cash.

IMHO, the only reason to get a 511 or 551 model EOTech is if you're building a specific clone of a specific model/era, i.e. basically, either an HK416 or MRE or KAC FF RAS equipped M4A1 build. The 511/551 series was discontinued by EOTech, and no longer supported by them, and generally regarded as one of the most troubling EOTech variants, not to mention that the N-cells are hard to find and expensive. Of course... none of these things is stopping me from trying to find one, and/or trade my 552 for one - but then again, when you're looking at EOTech #5, you can take a little gamble, because I want one badly for my MRE build.
~Augee I really like the 551. I've never had a problem with the two rev f models. Walmart has N cell batteries but I just ordered a box off amazon so I'll never have to worry about it. I like the short relative compact body of the 55x and I picked them each up for about $250 new, I feel like that is good value. |

I haven't seen one take more than 5 in the last 8 months (I work at an SOT) however they ARE taking for fucking EVER to actually mail the last few forms. One was approved on the 21st and we still haven't seen it! |
