CQBR / Mk18 Mod1 Clone thread - Show us your clones!

[Hilo71]

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

Tonnes of operators use grips, sling mounts, stocks, covers, BUIS etc.
Some CQB M4's have been seen with Troy sights, others Magpul polymer. CQD mounts are by no means "needed". I prefer QD's over hooks
The Elcan is very heavy. I won't run in with an elcan on course.

My "standardized clone" with an elcan and a loaded mag came in at over 10lbs.

10 lbs is not so bad considering all attachments, not light weight by any means but not too bad either.

Think of it as 10lbs of fun

On the other hand, i have been contemplating the idea of switching to a geiselle mk8 rail, it is almost half as heavy as the mk18. Not that i find mine too heavy.

Next project: MK18 upper for my Colt M4 lower.
RIS or RIS II?

 

[iloveak47]

You know the only reasonable answer is build both

i have and did try all that stuff, but in the end it isnt about the weight and this is the configuration im most happy with. its was more a funny observation when i took all the stuff off to paint it. with all the stuff i have on her now it balances almost perfectly at the magazine.

Hello Brown rifle. less black, less evil. should make this non restricted now amirite!? colours are aervoe Coyote, field drab and OD. ive learned that coyote and field drab are essentially the same. coyote leans to the brown, field drab to the yellow.

now to beat this thing up.

I have dbal and elcan on top rail like that but the dbal covers some of the field of view. Is it like that with yours too?

this is my 1X FOV. at 4x theres no obstruction. it was the same with my dbal.

I have no experience with this exact setup but i imagine shooting with both eyes open the dbal/peq in the fov would not be an issue

If you were using an eotech or aimpoint t1/2 you could use a riser to lessen the obstruction.

went to the more correct, SF3P. yes i know the 4P is the proper one, dont be mean.

Nice! Going to use a warcomp/ warden on my Mod1.

nice. i like how the new series have the index pin for the Warden. my old mb556k didnt, the warden still worked but this is nicer.

I've been looking for an SF3P. I've been waiting months for my Warden. Did you buy your SF3P used or is there a vendor somewhere in Canada that has them in stock?

if your in the GVRD, ds tactical have SF3Ps in stock.

be warned, my armorers wrenchs didnt work on it. both weaver and magpul. 3/4 crows foot didnt work as well.

what i had to end up rigging, 3/4 combo wrench on a 3/8 socket attached to the torque wrench.

 

[derrob7]

Ah, I remember having to mess with this on my 4P. I had to ground down the sides of my armorers wrench to fit the skinny flats.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ris ii's are still going for crazy $ in the US, what did y'all pay for yours?

 

[derrob7]

If I remember correctly it was around 360.00 new 3 or so years ago.

How is that possible?? My dbal is obstructing some of the FOV of my elcan DR. How do you mount your Dbal? Mine come with QD.

Does the Peq15 (atpialC) sit lower than a DBAL? it might.

They all come with an torque wrench adaptor to fit inside the tines inside your packaging
