    Magazine related failures to feed. I didnt take time to diagnose as they weren't on my weapon. I don't have time to sit around and figure out if an after market magazine is better than the USGIs when I have never had a failure with the aluminum magazines.

    JPMuscle is correct. I am left handed and the build is set up that way.

    Thread update:

    Seeing how we are as close to a SHTF scenario as we've ever been (at least in my AO), I decided to make a few changes to the build based on personal preferences and ease of use (I'm a lefty). The rifle is currently living life outside of the safe with a sling permanently attached, in condition #3 (chamber empty, full magazine, hammer down). These types of changes are often made on the real MK18/CQBRs by those who are issued these weapons while on deployment.

    - Switched out the Gen 1 LMT Enhanced SOPMOD for a Gen 2 model that has a QD socket.
    - Removed front CQD sling mount and replaced with a Magpul RSA (QD socket pointed down in order to keep sling out of the way of the ejection port).
    - Switched out the HK hooks on my V-TAC Wide Padded Sling for V-TAC Heavy Duty Quick Detach Swivels.
    - Replaced Colt A2 grip (I didn't like the grip angle) with a BCM Gunfighter MOD 3.
    - Replaced Tango Down VFG with a Magpul AFG.
    - Replaced L3Harris/EOTech Dual Button Remote with L3Harris/EOTech Remote Pressure switch for running Insight WMX-200 light. APTIAL-C will be run locally.



    It kind of pains me to deviate from 100% "clone correct" as-issued aesthetics, but the rifle is finally being pressed into service for a genuine role and these are exactly the kinds of modifications one makes in this situation.

    With sling stowed (remember, I'm left-handed):

    Dude don’t worry about as issues clone correct. You can see guys running around with add on mag wells, VCOG’s razors, mk6’s, even strike eagles, guys but Surefire warcomps, grips get swapped out. My buddy has an add on mlok rail and a VCOG 1-8 on his issues scar and BCM furniture on his m4 that has the new mk16 rail.
