Is there any part of a legit Mk18 Mod3 that I can't legally get or is it just money?

[cab11150904]

Looking to build an exact clone so money not withstanding can it be done?

There is no true MK18 Mod 3.... in fact theres not really a "Mod 2" either... the official would still be the Mod 1 (or Block II, I suppose). Some people are replacing the DD RIS II from MK18 Mod 1s with Geissele rails and calling them "Block III MK18s", but those arent official in any way.

Geissele has the URG-I contract for the "Block III", if you will, and I believe they are eventually going to be releasing a 10.3 upper to replace the current MK18 upper receivers, so maybe thats what youre looking for? In that case, technically you couldnt have any of it, as it hasnt been released yet, and I havent seen any plans to replace the rail as a stand alone. Eventually they may release the whole upper, like they are doing with the URG-I.

Hope that helps.

I have a package coming with no idea what is inside, I may (or may not) be able to contribute to this in a more positive manner pretty soon.

Since there’s no real mod 3, I hope your package has a RIS III...(in the correct RIS II anodized FDE.)

Sorry if that is yours, but that just does not look good.... it looks like a total hack job.

Not mine, it was from Solider Systems.

the Mk16 rail for the <whatever version> Mk18 will be commercially available in October, as a complete URG replacement, just like the M4A1 URG-i.

It is the Goldish color that's the problem???

I love this forum.

Regularly: Quit bashing Colt's fit and finish. They make war horses, not show ponies.

A few days ago: Don't buy that BCM, you're too obsessed with fit and finish and they'll let you down.

Today: That prototype DD rifle is fugly. A total hack job.

It took me a few tries to understand this.

The MK18/CQBR version of the Geissele URG-I will be available in October.

Still sounds like Mr. G won't sell the MK16 rails separately.
