    Thank you for the suggestion. I want to do the swap out of parts my self. But I think you are right. I'm going to send my upper out to high caliber sales to have the work done once my lower reciver is papered.

    Does anyone know if the mk18 is stored by the navy in a pelican case or do they use a soft bag to transport the weapon? I have seen a few pictures with what looks like a black hard case.

    They don't use the pelican day to day... that is a mass transit case... like when deploying overseas for transporting the weapons in the 130...

    I suppose that's probably the only time they would have them in a case. I would like to put my mk in something authentic when I travel with it. I would like to cut my foam nicer then what I have seen in pictures of military kits. From what I have seen they hack it all up.

    If you want authentic, buy a weapon rack and throw it in a truck. Seriously.

    The reason they're hacked up is because we generally only give a shit that it works, the foam in a Hardigg case being pretty, or using the hard case to begin with rather than something else, is a non issue with most military guys. As long as it gets there and my shit isn't smashed all to hell, what do I care how it gets there? The rifle sure doesn't notice the difference between a nice cutout and a hacked up cutout.

    Do you want this rifle to use hard, or to show off and look at?

    I realize they don't give a shit. To them it's a tool. It's not just a tool to me. Its not cheap to build and has some collector appeal to me. The rack comment is really cute. In my state we cant have gun racks. I suppose to be really authentic I need a hummer!

    Honestly they get stuck in a weapons rack and thrown in the back of whatever truck is handy.

    I'm talking about a standing weapons rack, like this:




    You're building a clone of a military weapon, if you want every detail to "spec", then make the case look like someone who just wanted it to fit had at it. Ain't rocket surgery my friend.

    Those space savers dont save much space, and were a PITA to bolt together since they cant be chained. I miss the old racks.

    Just received my upper back from Kevin at High Caliber Sales. Very reasonable price, good service and fast turn around time.
