I opted for the Specwar 556 ($500 OTD locally) and I can say it's a phenomenal can, I'm sure the K model is similar but louder given its shorter length. The SWR/SilencerCo ASR cans won't snug up to the Mk18 rail like the Surefire cans but I believe they're quieter and, well, much cheaper. |

Looks like the FDE RIS II rails dried up in the EE. I'd still like to toss $500 down on one.
How many didferent FDE color changes have they gone through? Some look darker than others. |

Latest revision of ADE106(E) Cerakote, "Anodized Dark Earth". It's modeled after the more gold toned RIS rails from the 2008'ish timeframe.

If I were doing it again I'd get a Surefire 7.62 mini. Looks like the SOCOM, and you can always shoot 300 BLK.

Couple hundred of each and no pics of either? Must mean all the MK18 RIS II FSP rails went onto the LMT 10.5" barrels! Therefore, LMT 10.5s should be allowed if covered in a MK18 FSP. This thread is pretty fluid - where, when new information comes to light most of us are pretty willing to concede it's correct. But we have a few really nice fellows who built these for a living and a few who used these weapons that send us cool info. I'm sure there is all sorts of crazy stuff used and swapped on them. It's just in order to keep some structure, tend to stay with what has been confirmed. |
