Interesting build, @Cucv but what are you trying to clone here?

Ive been tossing around the idea of a M4 clone

 

[Cucv]

[Diamondback]

Nice setup on the A4!

The Mk18 FSB RISii...

That looks pretty cool!
I just bought a Strikefire, maybe I'll put it on something like that.
Or do I need a trijicon/holosun?

My favorite 5.56 of the bunch, somewhat modern devgru HK416 clone:

Clone of dev's PDW T&E purchase (Rattler conversion uppers, M4 lowers):

Clone of dev's new Noveske carbine (wrong can on this one, correct one still in ATF jail):



Mk 17 CQC Clone:



Well this is an AR clone, but it's not military. It's a clone of John Noveske's personal carbine before he passed:



Mk 12 Mod 1:



Don't own this one anymore, but my old Mk 12 Mod H (SPR) build:



MARSOC/Raider Mk 18 / CQBR Clone:



Don't own these anymore, but these were my first clones. Block II Mk 18 / CQBR and M4A1:

Journey's End. Kinda bittersweet after how long these babies have been in the building...



Photos taken in my gunsmith's shop just over three hours ago taking delivery of the green parts on the C8 and installing them before safety inspection.

 

[Mygrainman]

It's been a minute since anyone has posted here...
Here's a couple.
top&right... Block 2
Bottom&left... URGI
im too lazy to do a build list right now so I'll have to circle back.

Here's a few of my GWOT inspired rifles. The OGS clone is the favorite and really the only clone versus builds that were inspired by service rifles.

 

[Diamondback]

Anybody done a 12.5" GL/SSC? I know the DD RIS-II is unobtanium, but supposedly there was a Block I was a KAC RAS, another unit MacGyvered with 10.75" URX-II's and I've been penciling out a few other "GL/SSC-ish" options using Centurion C4's.

Yes… since we aren't in danger of too many posts burying the spirit of ththread… As the OP I hereby Approve all GWOT inspired builds as well..
There are some cool parts that need to stay alive. Soo many cool and sometimes outrageous accessories from ARMS, GG&G, KAC, Colt, Surefire, LMT, Vltor, DD, and others were fielded in that time, and while they aren't all "Clone Correct" when mashed together… they effin-a should be.
One caveat… If you have to ask what a GWOT is, then you probably don't have a qualifying build..

Show off pictures and discuss all of your AR15 based clones of the guns issued and used by our military special forces Including, but not limited to:

-SOPMOD Block 1, 1.5, &2's
-Mk18's
-MK12 Mod 0, 1, &Holland's
-URGI's


It was asked if Under Construction builds are OK...
YES!
sometimes these builds take a while. Sourcing parts, and getting them put together is the best part of clone building.... and at times frustrating.
Please post pics as your builds progress..
Let this be a place to help each other find parts, and share knowledge

Don't own any since that terrible boating accident!
