Swapped in some Colt receivers and a 10.3" bbl.
Think I've got 'er set-up how I like... for now lol
where did you get the UID sticker?! can i have one. how do you like the B5 bravo stock? i was going to go with that one but the SOPMOD is more accurate so i went with that. still love the look of the bravo
The UID sticker came on the lower.
I would have went with the SOPMOD stock but ran across the Bravo in a package deal. FDE B5 SOPMODs are out of stock in Canada from what I can tell and the LMT is just too pricey. I'd like to switch it up eventually since it would be more correct. The battery storage would be nice also.

That is art WK~
i didn't per se, i referenced him a lot to see what was correct and what was not. its hard not to be inspired by one of his builds, he seems to have every permutation of every type of CQBR/MK18. but no i didnt choose any spacific one to model this after. just the parts i liked keeping within the block 2 umbrella. i like the colours fading into another, that sort of out of focus camo scheme, sort of kinda maybe like ATACs? opposed to the laundry bagiloveak47 said:

when i took all the crap off mine to paint it, mine looked as sleek as yours... its SO light!, i had forgotten. id never change it but damn shes a pig with all the crap on her.
side note, where did you guys source your CQD sling mounts from. the CQD website is geoblocking canadian ips so i doubt they ship international.
I had grabbed my CQD stuff from: Bravocompany wayback when he was out of his garage, Rainier when they had bins full of the stuff and lastly OSTS a couple years back.
It is very true the MK18 gets heavy with peq15, SU230, and a light. Try lugging it around all day in full assualter kit... fugg.... PMC style with a combat loadout.....
Curious to know how much your pig weighs with everything straped on. I think i remember donut saying a good clone-samaritan from the land of the free hooked him up with a cqd rear.
Me personally i have the sling attached to the stock so i won't bother with the cqd rear, for the front i use a dirty non-clone gear sector qd mount as i feel it is superior to the cqd/hk clip setup. Gear sector qd mount having been seen in the wild and all
If you want to make your rifle lpighter here is my suggestion : car stock instead of sopmod, eotech instead of elcan.
You could also bring the peq closer to the receiver, it will put more weight towards the back to make it less nose heavy. Not sure if nose heavy or overall weight is the issue here, or if weight is an issue at all
