Roba93 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 looks like specna have stepped up there licensing game with Daniel Defense. They've released a Mk18 with trades. Just when I was sure I wanted an SA-A03 as well! Although this is basically just an Edge replica (SA-E19), so QC may be an issue! Might wait for some owners reviews before I grab this one 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 They should definitely make a Core version with polymer body. Or at least make a polymer upper (with poly rail too if possible) as a spare so I can buy it and have 2 different uppers for mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roba93 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think they have! https://gunfire.com/en/products/daniel-defense-r-mk18-sa-c19-core-tm-carbine-replica-chaos-bronze-1152227098.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Defense make a gun they call the 'Mk18' for the civilian market simply because they fitted the same rail they supply for the SOPMOD block II program. A marketing gimmick. Real Mk18s use Colt rifles as the base, and now 'block 3' is a thing, Mk18s are being fitted with Geiselle rails. I think TM and G&P produce the closest in terms of accuracy to a Mk18 block II.

To a layman (me) its close enough to make me happy 🤣 Although I am a little disappointed they have DD trades on the receiver and not colt. Will probably replace the ugly iron sights too. Unfortunately I have a mars and evo so can't justify another £400 RIF. Would if I could though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedbird_666 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I think the pricing is well off with this one. Its an Edge 1.0 (Gate X-ASR) and is costing £230 (PatrolBase), £220 (Gunfire). For less money, you can buy this: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-rock-river-arms-sa-e02-edge-carbine?pv=9070 and this: Cheapo Mk 18 Rail £155+£25 = £180. So that's £50 for the logo. I suppose you could spend that on a new E&C gearbox to replace the shite stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm going to go with my original plan and pick up an SA-A03 for a lot less. Heard they are still OEM'd by E&C so QC should be better.
