Da Vinc- A thought:
Have you toyed with the idea of moving the triple shingle to the front of your rig, and the double over to your weak side? It's an idea I stole from Mosin way back when he posted his real-life battle rattle, and it's INCREDIBLY practical (I rock an eagle scalable and its ridiculously similar to your vest). You're a righty, so you're mostly doing reloads with your left hand. Having that double there instead of the shingle is fast access to 4 mags, and having the one row of 3 up front will let you go prone easily (without mashing a radio in a pouch, either).
If I were you, I'd have the pistol and its mags on the first line (belt kit). My first line is: Holster and pistol, IFAK, dump pouch, and my 3 pistol mags. That way, my vest has rifle mags, radio and related stuffs, frags, bangs, water, and my belt has lifesaver and emergency stuffs.

Today and I think that double mag pouches might look a bit funky and probably a bit bulky.

Any improvements on the guns?
Also I find this thread much more entertaining now.

This looks very nice. Do you still run any of the page one rigs?

Any improvements on the guns? MK18 no longer has an outer barrel, I'm getting a different one with a flash hider, I have a scope for the M14, and that's pretty much it. Do you still run any of the page one rigs? The MOPC has been changed to the new layout, on page 3, and I still have no pouches for the "MBSS".

Double post for content, and opinions. This is how the AR sits: As previously said, I want to turn it into a MK18 MOD 1. I have an outer barrel+FH coming in, but here's the breakdown on price for what it'll all cost: DD MK18 RIS II - Madbull ~$110 (If I can find it anywhere) ACM ~$60+shipping Crane stock ~$30-$90 Crane stock battery ~$30 Low total would be around $120 High total would be around $230 I doubt I'll be buying all of these brand new, but would it be more worth it to buy these and turn my existing AEG into a MK18, or to sell mine and simply buy a new AEG that's close to being a MK18 and converting it?

I am building a MK18 (parts are ordered, awaiting shipping) but trust me: Go with your current set up and convert it. It is far easier, and costs about the same in the long run. AirsoftCarolina, Ebay, and Ehobby have the RIS II, but its almost more trouble than its worth. The only real reason to get a RIS II is to make an authentic MOD-1, in which case you also need the Colt body, which is also really hard to come buy. I was anal enough to go for the authentic build, but you may be better off going for a MK18 style instead of a legit MK18. Its WAY cheaper and much easier to find parts.

Like Gabriel said, stick with what you have and build off of that. It will probably be more cost effective anyways.
Also, it doesn't HAVE to be a 100% accurate Mk18 MOD1. It's airsoft, and only the most insufferable of gear-whores, who should be ignored anyways, would hold it against you.

I just like the look of the RIS II, I wasn't going to make it all super-authentic and crap, but you did remind me of the MOD 0, which would be an even cheaper route, and they don't look too bad: I don't know, we'll see how things play out, but thanks for the advice.

The Mod 0 is certainly cheaper. Do the same a that picture above, but throw on a peq 2, a KAC can, and a surefire 951 and it would look sweet. Or you can always do a block 1.5ish build with the KAC RAS like above, but with the new accessories like a specter DR and m3X and peq 15 like this i55.tinypic.com/35me688.jpg

MOD 0's are hot potatoes IMO. I have always preferred them to the MOD 1's. It really boils down to personal preference but the MOD 0 will indeed be cheaper.
