    Can anyone quickly confirm what suppressor system was most commonly used on the Mk18 Mod 1 platform? Cheers

    Way back when I was chasing around doing research for mk18 mod 1's the Knight's Armament NT4 QD was the one which kept coming up. The actual make up of a mk18 mod 1 seems to be a weird hot point of contention, plenty of folks disagreeing with the accuracy of the parts list folks put together so take it with a grain of salt.

    As said its all a bit weird. Mk18 MOD 1s where used by VBSS teams and built on an M16A1 lower. Seals and all the other secret super squirrel people used M4A1s with CQBR uppers.  Alxndrhll is correct on the Suppressor manufacturer, KAC was a big contract holder at the time supplying optics, rails ETC   good resource on cloning rifles https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/AR-Discussions/118/?page=1

    Check the above that's a MOD 0, MOD 1 used the Surefire RC2, the KAC QD is just as legit though.

    @CaptainDumbass Sooner than you might think.

    Check the cylinder for burrs around the intake hole, the piston o-ring for chunks missing (because of said burr). Oh, and hopefully yours might have a smidge of grease from the factory and a couple of shims. Many didn't, including mine.

    Switch the hop rubber fairly sharpish too, I threw in a Lonex 50deg that I had laying around. The stock one is meh at best.

    Check the gearbox casting while you've got it open, it's a bit rough in places (tappet plate track and piston rails), use 1200 grit wet and dry to smooth things out. Only takes a few minutes.

    Have fun.

    The last time I played at the Bunker I was about a foot shorter and I distinctively remember how many times I would hit my head in doorways. 

    Tomorrow should be fun.......

    I managed to crack my head on one of the supports about half way down a tunnel that was about an inch lower than the others. I was at full sprint at the time! I had no idea what happened until I hit the floor. I ditched the Cap and only wear a helmet down there now. Got plenty of battle scars on the helmet now but at least it is not my head.

    Unless its broken leave it be man,one of the lads I skirmish with has a stock one he uses propane (it shoots a fuckin dream) and runs around with extended mags being a nightmare to the other team,looking at your loadout preference I'm guess you're a CQB man so if you haven't already what about a torch and some mags to go with that slick pistol you've got,oh btw I'm not in the least jealous?

    There are T&Cs you sign up to when buying a GM. One of them is that you won’t upgrade it. Honestly you won’t be able to upgrade it from where it is, you want something to upgrade then buy a spare hi capa! My GM is annoyingly fantastic.

    CaptainDumbass
    CaptainDumbass
    Sorry chaps. I did a silly and upgraded it anyway. 
    Maple Leaf hop unit & 6.01 inner barrel with Autobot 60 bucking and its already shooting even better lol.

    Short stroked it simply for gas efficiency and faster shots. 

    Nine Ball gas routers for better sealing/ efficiency. 

    New magwell for the looks.

    Armorer Work SAI Hi Capa, or the TM Gold Match Hi Capa?

    Not yet bought it, but a TM hi cappa will be my next major purchase!! 

    Done a bit of research and all roads lead to TM it seems.

    CaptainDumbass
    Downsides to being 6 foot 4.... posted a grenade around the corner at about knee/waist height and get banned from using pyros for the day because it was still too high.... typical hahaha, my bad!

    @Esoterick I've wondered the same thing. The usual reply I get from the shooter when asked if the head shot was necessary is oh it must have been the wind or the hop... (how its windy indoors is a bit of a mystery)

    Albiscuit
    From a marshals or opposing players view, the waist height of a tall player is pretty high. You said it was knee/waist high, quite a big difference between the two.

    If I were crouched behind the corner your waist height is almost level to my face.

    The mall is sh*t hot strict on hard pyro being knee high only though, for good reason though.

    Playing devils advocate here but if someone decides to crouch down knowing that grenades are posted at knee/waist height then isn't that also down to the person on the receiving end knowing the risks of being that low down? I've been laid down before and had solid state BFG's land on me where they have been posted into the room I was in and knew that could happen... I do agree though that there is a fairly large difference between knee and waist height dependent on your height as well.

    Spending 500 quid on gear and not a single purchase is a gun or attachment :(

    gunna wait around until a nice package goes up for sale on here or another forum/facebook group... im too lazy to buy one and then buy & fit new rails and stocks and stuff xD

    CaptainDumbass
    Any recommendations how to post gas grenades? Will post office be funny if i just tell them its an airsoft grenade inside?

    SeniorSpaz87
    SeniorSpaz87
    Do. Not. Say. That. Say its sporting equipment or something. Never should the word airsoft be mentioned, and especially not the word grenade... Also, you need to make it not airtight, so just open the seal on it (depress firing pin and keep it depressed will work

    CaptainDumbass

    Dayum, the series has already overtaken the books then :/ I need to start watching it instead of praying for the next book to be written :D From what I have read they have managed to condense 3 books into 1 series O.o

    bah he'll be back missandra (or however her name is spelt) is there ;-)

    even in the books you just know that's what is going to happen. (yes i know they said "dead is dead")

    That's what I thought, and an actor would onvioulsly say he's dead for good to make suspense.

    This is a serious question: But what would business look like for a new full time business in CAD, CNC, Milling, 3D Printing, Laser cutting/engraving and Hydrodipping? I get that it would be very pricey to start but would it be possible & worth it financially as a career?

    ImTriggerHappy
    Yeah thats a good one to have. Problem is you never know how long you have got a contract for nowadays. If you have the workshop already its worth looking into. Keep your regular work and treat it like a sideline less risk if it doesn't work out.

    Off topic (slightly) but Cpt do you still do your laser engraving? If I remember correctly you did your Glock awhile back and someone's reciever on a GBBR?

    Cpt, I think given your resources and your love of the sport an excellent idea. I'm constantly asked to provide good quality metal receivers, barrels, rails etc at good prices, CNC'd or otherwise but dealing with the Chinese is tiresome and supply (at present) is short. Of course does come down to being financially viable etc.

    This is stupid as sh*t i can tell, but what are sorbo pads and what do they achieve?

    I used a sorbo pad in my VSR (pro) to dull the thud of the piston hitting the piston head and now its virtually silent (on par with a mk23)

    S
    Sitting Duck
    Do people need to panic ???

    I strongly think not - it would still be better than stock, aoe corrected and piston hitting a 5mm wall of neo is still better than hitting a 2mm wall of rubber/neo

    but I will start a thread me thinks......

    If you want to cut costs you can buy a 6" square sheet of 70D Sorbothane on ebay for very little.

    Ah good, wanted these in airsoft form for a long time. Glad someone finally got hold of the license.

    I recognised them as the real ones, forgot about ARMA III. My favourite magazines are still Lancer AWMs though, wish they weren't pretty much sold out everywhere and so expensive
