My 99051 came in, I picked up a TA01NSN, I as far as a reflex sight for the top goes what do people prefer the MRDS by insight or the docter sight? I did a little bit of digging and they both seem pretty solid, should I just take whichever I can find a deal on first? Also the JP enterprises wing mount specifically this one is that the docter mounting style? Sorry if these are noob questions but I have exactly zero experience with these tiny red dot sights.

RMR, MRDS, Docter, Jpoint. Compare specs/reviews, find a deal on one of the above, and roll with it. I'm running an MRDS on my TA01 and like it. I've got a couple RMR's on other firearms and they also work well. The Doctors and Jpoints aren't as easy to adjust as the earlier listed options. The huge upside of the MRDS is you can replace the battery without removing the optic. That equals no re-zero. I like the Trijicons as I've always had good luck with their optics and they are tanks. Pretty much any of them will work. Heck, I used to run a Docter on a full auto UZI and it survived...... |

I also have a Burris Fastfire III on another TA31 which I really like as well, although its the 3 MOA dot, and can be a little small in brighter sunlight even on the maximum setting. THe JPoint dot is like a fireball when you need it and the auto brightness function I really like, the only downside with it washing out under low light conditions when using a flashlight... but that's a problem with most red dots I guess... I have gone through two ACOG/RMR set ups... the RMR is by far the most rugged bomb proof optic with awesome adjustments, but I got two JPoint set ups for the price of one RMR set up so I went with those. You'll be fine either way. |

View Quote I think in the very first MK18 thread some people had reported that various 10.5" barrels were bought commercially and used as replacement parts and possibly to build uppers as well. The uppers you are talking about could have been built up using these barrels. Edited to add: I am not referring to the LMT uppers, the barrels were Bushmaster or some other commercial manufacturer. I guess technically these were not MK18s by a purist definition but were issued USGI SBRs. |

Any recommendations on where to pick up KAC micro front sights (doesn't have to be taupe) that I wont be giving up my first born or getting a fake or stolen item? I feel like I've read about a lot of fakes or stolen shit out there and you mk18/CQBR guys are always in the know for the clone items.
