Sweet. What is the weight of the setup?

RaiderCop · 01-18-2011, 18:25

When I goto my class3/SOT to start the paperwork on my Osprey45 Ill weigh it. He shares a storefront with a ebay pack/ship so i can use their postal scale. Good idea.

Very nice man. I just decided to look for a preban lower(Im in CT) so I can build something similar myself.

You wont regret it. I can't see owning anything with a 16" barrel again unless it has a Long range role. As far as a CQB setup goes, this is where its at. I found it strange how the gun will almost perfectly balance without the can attached. Very compact setup.

Just curious why you went with SA80 mags?

Whenever I think about buying HK I always remember...

"HK: Because you suck and we hate you..."

Very nice build though, I couldn't thing of anything that I would do different. I might consider a Geissele SSA Trigger if you felt like spending another $180.

I just wanted to try the steel mag...I have a truckload of usg1 and pmags. And ill most likely upgrade the trigger if this one doesn't break in well.

Very nice!!!

Fireman1291 · 01-20-2011, 09:37

Thx! Took forever

Very nice set up. It definitely spoils you when doing CQB work with a short barrel. Hard to go back indeed.

AK_Stick · 01-20-2011, 12:14

Very nice. Though I think for the "right" look, you might need a stubby VFG, otherwise, sexy little blaster.

Fireman1291 · 01-20-2011, 12:26

I hear ya, but the mk18 mod0 uses a knights armament grip. I'll probably end up changing it down the road after the nostalgia wears off.

Flashbang1063 · 01-20-2011, 12:43

Nice stick Fireman! Enjoy that bad boy.

AK_Stick · 01-20-2011, 13:27

Its all operators taste once they leave Crane NSW.

Optics, lights, VFG's and mags are usually up to the operator, save maybe in the USCG's use.

New Mk18's get the DD MK II RIS. not the KAC RIS

Fireman1291 · 01-20-2011, 13:32

I thought the mod1's got the DD rail and the mod0 got the KAC m4 ras. O well, I like the setup, it's light. I'll end up with a different grip down the road.

This is my Mk18 CQBR that I assembled early last year.

Fireman1291 · 01-20-2011, 14:09

I know that picture well, it helped me finally spend money on a sbr instead of suppressors. You stayed more true to the clone. I don't care for the aimpoints and shoot better with the eotechs. Nice rig.

Thanks. I am glad I could help.

VERY nice setup. I went a little different with my 10.5" SBR. It started as a Mk. 18 clone, then I ditched the A-frame and KAC handguards for a lo-pro block and VTAC tube. I love the VERY light weight on the completed rig, and I much prefer the folding HK-style front over the fixed a-frame. The empty side rail now mounts a Surefire M600C
Scout light.

Lose the VFG, replace the Aimpoint with a T-1 or XPS, and the ACS with a CTR, and you have my planned SBR.

Sounds like you've got a decent setup planned. Before the 600 was added, I was coming in around 5 pounds LOADED when using a 30rd P-Mag. I had to use a bathroom scale, so it wasnt an exact measurement, though. The VTAC tube is REALLY light, and its really easy to move the rail segments. Just back off the two tension screws at the barrel nut by about a turn and a half, rotate the tube slightly, and slide the whole thing right off. Once the tube is off, adding, removing, or moving the rails is REALLY easy.
