The Definitive Colt MK18 / CQBR SOPMOD Block II Build

[markm]

That spreadsheet hurts me lol............ Now the question is: would you do it again?

Yeah. It's a tough one. You can shave 5 grand off without the Elcan, SF can, and PEQaroo!

That's the beauty of this style of build. You can be totally clone-correct at around $2500 and add parts/accessories as your budget/needs allow.

I love everything about this thread. And will make me covet my inbound mk18 upper even more.

Where are your tie-downs?

Just start pushin.

Nice build. All joking aside, I feel that the black SOPMOD is definitely the more commonly issued stock. I don't believe I've ever actually seen a toupe one in the wild (not saying they don't exist). From what I have seen, they are usually black or painted. I feel that the tan stock mostly came about as a builder's option, trying to balance the color of the rifle a little more without the rattle-can. We also generally get stuck with the Matech rear sight, who knows why.

Looks great. You obviously spared no expense, and the QR code is a nice touch.

Thanks for the feedback on the stock. I have a black gen 1 LMT Enhanced SOPMOD that I usually run on it and I should probably retake the pics with that stock installed as it is more true to the original. I think I am going to wait on the PEQ-15 to arrive from TNVC before I do any more glamour shots.

I thought you already had a PEQ box?

I had the VIS model when I took the pictures. TNVC announced their new C model shortly after so I sold the VIS and ordered the C.

Finally received my new PEQ-15 from TNVC (which replaced my PEQ-15 VIS).

Sorry about the quality of the photo. I'll update this thread later when I get the good camera out.
