Just undecided if I will break that Colt factory-staked endplate to put a CQD rear sling mount.

Another candidate for a project:

...or keep as is as I still managed to import this lower with stamped markings. I think the later production CR02###x would already have the engraved USP markings.
 
Adding more pics that I had from last year of the mk18 mod0 clone to keep it on this proper thread...
During that time, it was still wearing a B5 Systems enhanced SOPMOD stock.

Not building a SOPMOD, but I'm working on an M4 too, though I'm going for a USMC "basic-issue infantry 0311" configuration. Bottom half (still waiting on cash-flows for the upper, and want to finish one of the pair first Just In Case) with its counterpart for the girlfriend's C8:

Gimme a little time and I'll copypasta the build-sheet over from my C8 thread, but right now I got an ill-tempered mutant landcrab (read: "exceedingly cranky and demanding bedridden mother") to go make lunch for.

EDIT: The build sheet, as promised. Bear in mind as an American south of The Line, I had to make a few "looks close but not quite perfect" improvisations on the C8...
Technically the KAC broomstick is superseded by Grip-Pod but still in wide use; latitude on personal grips is frequently given and this is the grip that fit my hand best.
