วีดีโอ

I was happy to hear you mention balance in regards to the stock weight. I think it’s something that is greatly over looked in most builds I see. I heavy is not terrible when it’s balanced but a heavy gun with all the weight in the front is awkward to maneuver.

regarding the mags the overwatch precision mags are godlike and 20 a pop

Actually, this isn't out of the realm of a proper clone because there are pics of this Larue rail being used on real MK18s. Along with the KAC free float versions. Less common but they were used.

Very nice setup. Looks very common/non-tactical, which is how I prefer to appear when off-body carrying.

Any way you could do a low light/night video showing how that flash hider effectiveness? Thinking of doing a similar build with a 13.9/14.5 and that LMT flash hider.

For anyone interested I think Ape Defense does some cerakoted part sets like the stock, grip and rail panels

Is that a free float quad rail?

Music is stupid, adds nothing, just irritating. Why do so many TH-cam and documentary makers think it is a good idea to add crappy music/NOISE to distract from the person speaking? It is like trying to talk with someone in a noisy bar or club. Makes your video irritating.

Nice set up.

RIS/RAS were both used. RAS are better, but RIS are harder to get, so the KAC fanboys drive up the price. Both are "Clone Correct.' I appreciate that you are so committed to the platform that you shot a video like this. Admirable.

a good flash hider is very important

Great vid. I wore HSGI padded belts during all my deployments, and used an HSGI Duty Grip belt when working stateside. I think for actual combat, padded belts beat two layer belts. Not even close in regards to what they offer. I also wore Crye suspenders with my HSGI belt, which was nice when I didn’t feel like clamping down tight.

Why the music ?

Hope you keep on making videos. It’s nice to see regular people making videos!

Just found your channel. I love the mk18. I have the Daniel defense mod1 upper with the war comp and the Surefire RC2 also. I’m thinking of changing it out to the 4 prong which they started making again. Nice video!

Are you gonna shoot 500 yards in self defense? Nope

Beautiful clone I love the mk18

I have the Larue 2-stage triggers as well. I don't see how you can beat them for the money. I also like Timney triggers but the Larue's are cheaper.

I watch a lot of these types of videos.This has to be my number one edc load out video it’s great simple ,light weight ,easy just to get home safely!

I really like my larue mbt flat blade trigger… one of the best upgrades I’ve made on my most current rifle build…

A "do it all" rifle thats only good for the half of the day when the sun is up...interesting. I like the LPVO + 45 degree set up for range fun and speed shooting. Super difficult to NV passive aim though with both an LPVO and 45 degree dot, theyre nearly useless when you got your goggles on When you get NVGs you're gonna change to the top dot with the lpvo or find out quick why more & more dudes are running red dot + qd magnifiers on their GP rifles. You can potentially keep your quick change 45 degree dot if you set it up right. Eotech 3-4 is a 4 dot bdc reticle to help with aiming out to 400-500yds add a 5x or 6x qd magnifier that is stowed at night and your bases are covered and your shedding a lot of weight.

Badass. I am currently working on a mod 0ish build.

I keep a bag that’s very similar in my vehicle, a Maxpedition Entity small Crossbody bag that doesn’t look tactical at all. I cover large geographical territory for work, several states, and started keeping it in the seat next to me during the last round of riots. The one thing I keep that many don’t is a large Police Magnum pepper spray fogger in the water bottle pocket, range of about 25’. I also keep a Kabar TDI knife clipped out of sight, just a small, extra “get off me” and weapon retention knife. Other than that we’re very similar in carry items, you’ve got a great bag, thanks for sharing!

I have a blue apex on my Glock 17.3 the only minor issue I have is it feels a bit wide but that could just take some getting used to and honestly I don’t have anything different to compare it to besides the OEM trigger which honestly I almost prefer the width of the OEM but I do like the trigger pull and reset better with the Apex, I am also running a 3.5 connector.

For T-Rex’s med kit it has a pull tab in which your able to pull it out by yourself no need to take it off or have someone else do it for you.

I’ve got a 13.9 that I built similarly, definitely my favorite rifle. For a while it had a vortex UH-1 and magnifier combo but just recently switched to a cheap Nikon 1-6 scope that I had on another rifle. I have the CMC trigger in the 13.9 but I think I would prefer my Larue MBT-2S that I run in my 11.5. I have a Griffin Recce 5 can on the muzzle, Magpul SL stock and MOE K2 grip, cloud defensive rein 3.0, and magpul MS1 sling. With the mid length gas system it’s super smooth shooting and my only complaint is the optic currently, the Nikon 1-6 isn’t ideal but it does work.

What’s with the weird contrast and color grading?

Hello, thank you for the video ! What recoil spring do you use in your glock ? Thanks

What company did you buy your mark 18 from

I thought up this long response to this video, but then I thought about how long it would take to type it (Yes, longer than this comment is going to take), and thought again, no one even cares.... Then I remembered that you (MK18 Cartel) did ask our opinions on your setup and what we think of it. So here is an abreviated version of my original thought: That build looks and sounds like it is exactly hat you needed it to be to fill all the roles/requirements/expectations you have for that setup and your capabilities. "Do it all" is extremely subjective because it is determined by the needs/wants/expectations of the user.. Let's face it, none of the accessories make the gun shoot better, they make things easier for the shooter, and hopefully that makes them better.

I personally like 12.5 AR for a do it all rifle as you stated in the video. Take care brother and stay frostee things are getting out of control very quickly.

When you installed the Apex 3.5 connector did you have a well define wall then break or a rolling break ? Thanks

nice ty

Just got my Roscoe upper with the k9 urg 13.95 greenline tactical barrel and I got the sharps bros bcg and the silencer co sco15 lower thing is super nice i love it more than my 11.3 ba Hanson upper

I’ll agree with you on the magnification, but an EOTech G45 with an EOTech will let you reach out pretty dam far. I will still take a red dot or EXPS3 over an LPVO with an offset. Again it’s personal preference. I like your setup

Putting together a 13.7 now, what handguard length is that?

What size rail is this?

Personal opinion here, but I think that folding/utility knives are for cheesecake, and fixed blade knives are for cutting people in the face

🔥🔥

Good set up.

The mod 0 is my favorite AR as well. The KAC RIS rail and LMT rear sight are a must in my opinion. I don't think they look right without them. Mine isn't clone correct either since i'm rocking a FN 10.5" CHF barrel and psa upper and lower. I had a Comp M2 but sold it. Just using irons for now which helps with weight. Cool video.

💪🏽 🇺🇸

Really like the rifle man!

Sweet!

The leftie shade, how dare you lol. Seriously tho, I think they listened to your feedback, it looks like they added a grommet to that bottom drainage hole.

Good lookin rifle... awesome PAINT.🤙😎

Lol I have the same truck in the same color

Nice set up!! 🏆

What back up irons sights are you using I'm been searching for the a good set to use with the 509t on a glock 17 and 19

What handguard is that?
