I took the front finger ledge from the Magpul handstop you're using and put it in front of a BCM Gunfighter on my MK18. Love it. Really lets you get your hooks into the rifle. Nice setup.
Nice review. I have this upper in 14.5 and 10.3. Holosun is very good I have a couple but imo Eotech Exps 2 or 3 is a beast also the Aimpoint PRO is another good rds. DD is one of the best out there. Also their customer service is top notch.
Nice build. Love the brown. I want to do a recce build in it. Try a JP silent capture spring with the Law folder adapter and a Lantac domed cam pin. Smooth as hell. I also went for a Superlative Arms piston kit, so no blowback or buildup in the receiver which makes cleaning much easier. It has gas restriction and bleed off and is suppressor friendly - though I haven’t personally used it with one. I only wish it was compatible with 300blk, especially for future suppressor dreams. Altogether I will say it is a pricey core, but I love it.
Question, I have the DD MK18 pistol and have recently Sbr’d it. I’m assuming my B5 stock isn’t going to fit until I change out the buffer tube. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks again
Great build. I have a question, what's the value of having the front sight MBUS without a rear sight? How do you use it to sight without a rear sight to know where you are aiming without any "parallax" because you'll only have one sight.
Great Review!!!!! HOWEVER comparing the EOTECH & the HOLOSUN...Theres one FACT about it & thats you don't have to worry about changing the battery every other week with the HOLOSUN & it does EXACTLY the same thing as the EOTECH!!!!
Ditch that buttstock and go with a CQB Gen 7 by Maxim Defense or Gen 6. I have a good friend of mine who builds custom PDWs and the quality is even better than DD or any high-end top dollar company. Oh, and they are available in 9mm, 45 ACP, 10 mm, 7.62x39, 5.56 nato, 300 BO, and a few others. All of them are Cerakoted and slick-baked with custom paint jobs, with matching eye protection, ear protection, two mags, and a custom range case. He does them with suppressors or full auto legally if you have the correct paperwork. Want them in SBR, no problem, he does those too. Goddess Arms is located in Deep Creek, Maryland. Seriously, you will fall in love with his builds.
