Thank God for toys, and the fact that I can buy them. And God bless our troops...And Police Officers.

As far as the "are they marked MK18" or not. Let me just clarify, I have had XXX (unspecified, triple digit number) of them pass through my hands. Not a single one was marked MK18. I also had the luxury, er job, to zero every single one of them, twice. Irons and optics. My job sucks.
|
|
Want2race, We need of Photos of the MK18 up close and you shooting them.
|
|
Anybody know of a soure for the 10.5" barrel? Does anybody know what the markings are on them? Should be C MP CB under the handguards like the 11.5" barrel.
|
|
Wannt2race, are the uppers Colt with the Forge marks on the side of the upper or LMT ?
|
|
SAW has 10.3 inch barrels, and the uppers that go with them. For extra cool guy points, get the reliability package. |
|

C and Key hole on upper. Upper and Lower are Colt. I remember the wrapper that they came in. |
|
+1 SAW has them. |

Are they the ones with the bayo lug?
I'm not talking about the ones with the flash hider directly ahead of the front sight base without the bayo lug. |
|
YardDogOne does not have a bayo lug on lhis Colt. I am not sure? It may be best if you email SAW. But if the factory Colt 10.3" barrels do not come with bayo lug, then maybe that's the way to ID the origin of some of these uppers . . . ? (you can see the difference between a 10.3" and 10.5" because a 10.3" has its flash hider backed all the way back to the FSB) Colt 14.5" M4 chopped by Crane = 10.3" with bayo lug Colt 10.3" upper built by Colt = 10.3" with no bayo lug LMT 10.5" upper = 10.5" with bayo lug (just a guess?) |
|
|
All the pictures we have seen clearly show a 10.5" barrel with the lug. YardDogOne's barrel is a 10" barrel of the same length used on the XM177. |
||
|
All the close up pics I have are the same as the one S-1 just posted in regards to barrel length, bayonet lug (covered by flash light in that picture), and KAC flash hider. |
|||
|
Yes, its clearly the 10.5" barrel with lug. |
||||
|
Ya, the more I looked at that pic - the more I though that was a lug. So that theory is down the drain . . . |
||||
|
If we are talking about want2race's pic; The Colt is listed as a 10.3" (and his is a Colt) |
|||||
|
is this the official military 10.5 or just the one the navy chose to put together?
also what are the barrel specs? ETA: oh i see it now. looks like a great package, very smooth, snag free. what's the make of the handguard? |
|
|
I really didnt expect to see a TR21/Larue on that baby!!!! Very cool I just got mine and Im really beginning to like it, wish I had one of the Little carbines too though! chuck |

Navy EOD |

|
that is so kewl. accupoints in Larue SPR mounts on SBR's. looks like they read arfkom....
|
|
I did talk extensively hear on BARF.com in regards to the optics package I developed with LaRue hoping the info would be useful to others in harms way, AFTER IT WAS COMBAT PROVEN. This board had nothing / zero to do with the development of any thing in this weapons package. The Arredondo mag well is supplied in CB not painted. Out. 2011BLDR |
|
|
That's ugly. |

I don't know, something about the Arredondo mag well reminds me of a man wearing a skirt. Just not right. Very "dainty."
I'm sure it works. |
|
I wonder how they (the magwells) are installed onto the weapon.

I started a Mk18 build today. LMT 10.5 upper, LMT rear sight, KAC free float rail, Bushmaster lower. LMT stock. AAC SCAR-SD suppressor. AAC Phantom flash hider.
I just fired 11 shots with the SCAR-SD indoors and it sounded good. This is the right can for entry or defense -- when you probably won't shoot but want to be protected if you do. Oh -- the AAC flash hider works fine on this barrel length. |
|
Fear of what, decent taste? |
|
|
They fit over the lip of the mag well, held there by 3 screws. Pretty solid, but it will break off if the rifle is dropped on its side. |
|
|
apparently so do a few queens! j/k.......... I suppose you need a bit of flair in these competitions. Something to make your rig unique in a field full of clones |

|
OMG, what is with that friggen belt? Have you seen that pic before? I got the same damn comment from my bro's on another forum. Tell you what, since you seem to be focused on that belt too I have a picture just for you. wait for it. wait for it. MEAT GAZER! Mwuhahahahahahaha Let's just say I NEED a heavy duty belt. |
||
|
So that's where all the kleenex went? I wonder what other fourm; I guess great minds think alike. ETA: It just looks weird, with the BDU pants and all. |
|||
|
I think they are 82nd airborne |
|
|
Personally I don't like the Arrendondo magwells. They don't truely work like a magwell does on my STI pistol. This is my 3 gun rifle and Limited pistol for USPSA and 3 gun. |

|
Come on, you can't post things like that and not include pictures :D |
|
|
Isn't that an oxymoron? I did detect a slight sacasm, but haven't many proclaimed the 10.5 as finicky? And even more so for those shorter? |

|
too bad this has gone off topic in so many different directions, none of them god
