Does anyone make a decal for sale that looks like what Crane puts on the Mk18 Mod0?

I'm not aware of such a decal. You can have it laser engraved. Someone in the Mk18/CQBR thread went through the trouble of making an image suitable for engraving. It was just reposted within the last 20-30 pages I believe. Don't want to have my receiver engraved (it is an RR and worth too much). Just looking for a decal. |

I haven't seen any floating around. The only thing I can think of would be to contact a custom decal shop. |

Custom decal shop should be able to do that in any size or color that you want. There are many online as well. Google is your friend. NCH Tried several custom decal shops local to me and no dice. All said they couldn't make one that small. Have had no luck online either. |
| Your RR lower is worth too much? Yeah, I get SBR... but the logic of this is totally bassackward to me. You want a logo to make it look faithful to the legit shit, but the RR logo is way more prominent and totally negates anything you can laser on the side, let alone slap on in decal form, which in itself would stick out like a ghey thumb. It's like wanting to glue an M3 badge on a car, but it's a Hyundai, and you want a vinyl decal of an M3 badge so it's not so permanent-- just a pile of half-assed mimicry. SBR a Colt lower and laser that shit or don't bother. Just enjoy the format and general look otherwise. Or don't... whatever. I don't even. |

Just looking for the sticker in case I want to make it back into an M16A1 in the future. |

What?? 100% of the Mod. 0's are marked like the picture provided, the Mod. 1's aren't because they're typically M4A1's. Every Mod. 0 I saw across 5 ships were marked like the ops photo. As far as your decal goes have you tried a internet decal provider? I understand wanting to keep business local but sometimes you've got no choice but to go online and search. William |

Most people confuse the Mk18 and the Block I CQBR, (the difference is visually hard to tell) and I'll leave it at that as to why there's rifraff over seen with laser engraving/seen without laser engraving.
But there is a difference. A block 1 CQBR "package" is listed as an M4A1, as is the Block II CQBR "package", neither of which are Mk18's. Package = 1 CQBR upper, 1 14.5 upper, with 1 shared lower. |

Dangerdan said 99.99% are not, question him. 100% of the Mod.0's on those ships are marked as such, that's not up for debate, his statement of only .01% are marked is incorrect. Hell even the VBSS school in San Diego's were Crane marked. From Norfolk to Mayport, San Diego to Hawaii, they're marked. William |
