    My "Custom MK18 Clone"

    So I've decided to "clone" a MK18.
    I know theres this little list of all the actual parts that keep the clone authentic but I've decided to venture away from that and do my own kinda "clone."
    I built it as a pistol as I'm pending my tax stamp approval. Another curve is that I've built it chambered in 300 Blackout as I will be running it suppressed once I've obtained the can.
    Build parts list as follows:

    Upper:
    Aero stripped upper
    Aero BCG
    Daniel Defense CH (pending to upgrade to a Geissele super CH)
    Ballistic Advantage 300 Blackout 10.3" Hanson Series Barrel 1:7 twist pistol length gas system
    Ballistic Advantage low profile gas block & gas tube (pistol length)
    Surefire Warcomp 7.62
    Aimpoint Micro T1 w/ Larue 1/3 co-witness mount
    Surefire M300 Scout light w/ Surefire SR07 tape switch
    Daniel Defense DDM4 9.0" Rail (Could not source the DD RIS II by its self)
    *Also purchased the BCM KAG but not installed yet

    Lower:
    Aero stripped lower
    Spikes Tactical LPK
    CMC 4.5 lbs trigger
    Magpul enhanced trigger guard
    KNS pins
    KAK pistol buffer tube w/ Shockwave blade
    Tubbs flat coil buffer spring
    Spikes Tactical T2 buffer
    BCM Mod0 Pistol Grip
    Seekins Mag release and bolt catch.
    Also ordered Seekins ambi safety (not installed yet)

    Looks nice. I'm thinking of doing a similar build in 300 blackout. Patriot Brown? Any plans for iron sights? Is this a home defense setup or range gun?

    Cerekote Patriot Brown is a good color. I have taken one of my SBR lowers and a DD Mk18 rail and coated in that color. Looks good.

    I think the Mk18 would be better if it was a 300 Blackout. Not that I'm hating on the 5.56mm, but once you move away from "twenty inches and rifle gas" you're inevitably starting to make compromises. That's a rocking little stick!

    Nice! If I can find another CASV-EL or two I'm considering a faux-Dissipator ("live" gas block concealed under handguard, sighting-only FSB near barrel end) version of a ".300BLK Mk 18" myself...
