    Colt OEM 2 = MK18

    I like many others have already gone down the DD mk18 road. Now that I actually have a few suppressors pending inevitably the port issues of the DD would become problematic. I also owned no Colts and figured it would be good time to rectify that problem.

    Some guys go all out on clone builds but from the start that was not my intention. All I really wanted was 100% Colt for the base gun and I already had the rest of the accessories sitting in the parts bin. Hardest part was waiting for the barrel come back from getting cut down. But I'm happy with how she turned out for the time being.

    Colt OEM 2 16". Factory barrel cut down to 10.3" gas port opened to .070", Colt BCG, CH, etc. KAC micro rear and mk12 front sight. Surefire warcomp underneath. The factory colt lower received a KAC trigger guard and a spare LMT stock. Someday I'll get the SBR stamp back for it but for now she gets my Sionics pistol lower with A5 pistol tube and a5h2 buffer. I need to get one of the newer style braces still.

    Standby on pics

    The New Daniel Defense MK18 barrels are ported at .072, and if you already have one of the overgassed barrels, Daniel Defense will replace the over gassed barrel with a .072 barrel.

    I just went threw it and made a thread about it here on M4C. It's a much softer shooter, I wouldn't be concerned about shooting it suppressed now.

    I saw that. I still have the barrel so I may go down that rode. I have another mk18 rail so if I don't use another colt OEM for it I'll go with DD.

    I sent it to Marvin Pitts. It was a little over 6 weeks to get it back.

    Real mk18 are cut down Colts, so that's actually pretty accurate for a clone.

    That isn't always true.
