block II CQBR or MK18 mod1

[pezboy]

A MK18 has a 10.3" barrel. A M4 has a 14.5" barrel. Some MK18 Mod 0's had 10.5" LMT barrels but most were 10.3" Colt barrels cut down from Colt 14.5" barrels.

A Mk18 with a 14.5" barrel is still a Mk18. Just like an M4A1 that has a CQBR (10.3" barrel) upper added is still an M4A1.

What buffer weights are ya'all running in these?

Buffer for all USSOCOM Mk18 Mod 0, Mod 1s, M4A1 and URGs are H3s. That includes guns belong to all branches of service. MK18 Mod 0 were reported to have some LMT 10.5" bbl's but I've never seen them during the 2+ yrs a SOCOM armorer down range. Its either a NAS Crane cut down 14.5" Gov't profile to 10.3" or 14.5" Govt profile or SOCOM.

That's not really how it works. Most MK18s are built on Colt M4 or M-16 lowers. That does not make them a M4 or a M-16. This whole area is gray and convoluted.

I just checked our entire ODA's weapons and all buffers are H2, not H3.

Here's mine...I can give the specs if you want, as best I know them at least.Attachment 43186

*edit...just realized this thread was forever old

Is that an issued SF micro?
Any comments on performance?

We have several issued aimpoint micros (at least 3), but I havent seen anyone on the team put one on their rifles. Personally I shoot an EOTECH better and havent had any issues with the current model. That said, both my MK18 and MK17 wear ELCANs (1-4x and 1.5-6x respectively) due to the nature of the current deployment.

Rick, You're right H2's! CRS and being really busy messes me up Thanks for the correction.

Sorry, I was referring to the silencer. Thanks though, that's interesting.

I like it although I feel the EoTech I had previously was much faster. I just couldn't get past the nagging feeling that the zero was drifting even though I had no problems with it prior to the drifting zero issues coming to light. Paranoid I guess.
