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

So was thinking about building a Mod 0 style upper, but it seems like a complete pain in the #### to get the KAC rail. Are these still in such huge demand?

A few years ago, the M5 RAS for full lenth rifle were a dime a dozen, easily had on ebay for $60-80 USD (P&S contract). Now even those are busting $125 USD.

I figured with the advent of free float rail systems, these would be easy to get, but they seem even scarce on ebay.

Lol, where are they all?

Iam holding onto mine because ever since i switched to the DD rail i miss the old mod 0 setup... Or maybe a block 1 14.5 to go with the shorty.. :D

Well, I'm in no particular hurry to build it, just wanted one for nostalgia. Will keep my eyes peeled for a used and beat up one for hopefully cheap :)

Mod 0 is lighter and feels balanced.
Interesting, figured the weight dif wouldn't be that noticeable.
 
I know how you feel i have been looking for a gen1 lmt sopmod for a while and no luck finding one at a decent price.
I got lucky on an old LMT stock last year, but I see the supply on cheap used ones has sort of dried up as well. The B5 stock seems like a decent alternative, not overpriced last time I checked.

Still baffled about the KAC rail. $350 in EE....fuk.
 
B5 is ok but it is a gen2 style stock with the integrated qd sockets wich is "not clone correct", the gen 1 lmt (or b5) is the correct stock. It really all depends how far one is willing to take this clone madness:d

I might be interested in trading my ras for a lmt stock .wink.

Haha, I'm not sure I "need" an authentic LMT gen 1 stock, though it's nice to have.

Finding a suitable replacement for the KAC is a total PITA though. I may take you up on that trade and find myself a b5 to replace my LMT :)
