Putting together a MK18 Mod 1

Alrighty, upon further research and whatnot, I've decided to go with the G&P. However, I am still interested in hearing any opinions otherwise.

Or you could just get one of these.

I was going to get one, then I decided not to risk getting the unlicensed trademarks into the US, so I was going to buy something from a US dealer. Then I found a pretty good deal on a G&P mk18 mod 0 with Colt trades that was for sale on arnies, and already in the U.S. I also bought a Socom Gear mk18 ris II from him, so I should be building a Block II M4 cqbr soon too.

If you don't want to deal with unlicensed trademarks, you could just watch around on some of the different forums' classifieds sections and find some thing already here in the country. I personally have never ordered a replica from overseas, but I know that many people have with great success. I just didn't feel like risking it. If you do order from Hong Kong, make sure to have them cover the trades.

As for what brand, VFC has rs spec threads, so you won't need the special barrel nut, and VFC is supposed to be a little nicer. Both are very reliable in general, and with slight tuning to increase durability, either one would last a long time.

I was only looking at ASGI. I haven't really branched out to too many different retailers yet. Here is the link to the one on ASGI, which clearly has no real trademarks on it.

That's an older Block I Mod.0

Save yourself the time and hassle and just get the pre-made VFC Mod.1 from either WGC or ASG.
