    Well considering it's almost Crane spec, and considering it's designed to run suppressed and unsuppressed it's probably a good thing.

    I'd Iove getting a proper .070 DD barrel.

    For sure, I'll take this over the previous size any day.

    Well I got it to the range today, and got everything zeroed again.

    I would call it a night and day difference, but it was much more drastic than that.

    It really felt like a new gun, with the same Springco Blue, and H2 buffer. It shot amazingly different, it's no longer a rifle I hate, it's now the original rifle I wanted. It honestly felt better than my BCM 11.5 with a Geissele Super 42 buffer system in a H3 configuration.

    If this is how all the new made MK18s ship, it's definitely worth the purchase.

    When did they change the gas port? I'd like to buy one but I want to make sure I get the smaller port.

    That's great to hear. I was on the market for a 10.3 recently and it took me forever to find one that was 0.070 with FSB (ended up with an Andro/Ballistic Advantage). I can't believe they hooked you up as much as they did. Damn good CS.

    It is good to hear that they can remedy this. The oversized ports with all their issues can be used ok tossing crap out the bore for some training scenarios on a budget, but not so much for some possible serious uses.

    Even slinging crappy 55 gr ammo sucks if your AR bucks like an AK 47. I've got an Aero precision 10.5 with an .080 port that I'd planned to run like you say. But it just never ended up getting shot. So I choked it down with an insert. .069" I think.

    To each there own for their own circumstances. The oversized port does conflict with some others for serious offerings.

    That is a solid for DD. I think my DD is old school and gassed properly. Very impressive they hooked you up.

    Incredible customer service from DD. Glad they took care of you when they had zero obligation to do so.
