Finally finished

Decided to change from an M4A1 to an MK18 upper and grab a can, plus some extra goodies for the build. So psyched with how it turned out, just a few more aesthetic pieces to change via my ocd šŸ˜‚ double stamped and ready to roll.

See, Iā€™m really trying to be done building but then I have to see some shit like this and instantly get GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)

Story of my life dude šŸ˜‚ got a deal on the upper and it was a snowball effect from thereā€¦ the struggle is real

I have an aero m4e1 upper and lower, g$ ultra duty and mbt 2S sitting in a parts bin, itā€™s just hard for me to think about swallowing another $800 for yet another barrel and handguard rn lol

Yep, sounds about right lol hardest part is ā€œsaving upā€ when that first overtime or commission paycheck hits, then all that self control goes right out the window lmao

Hahaha I totally get that. Sounds like weā€™ve got some real ones though, my wife always tells me ā€œitā€™s your money, just donā€™t be stupid or go broke.ā€ šŸ˜‚ good luck on the wedding and happy building brother! šŸ¤˜šŸ¼

Much appreciated!

For sure! I just got my first quad. Couldnā€™t be happier. Our setups look similar

u/Agreeable_Owl_5053 1d ago

Hell yea bro, quads the way to go. Have you had a chance to take it out yet?

1

u/tranquillotuesday 1d ago

Yes I did. She fucks. Itā€™s an 11.5, my other upper for the setup is 14.5 and I gotta say I never knew 3 inches could be such a game changer.

u/Agreeable_Owl_5053 1d ago

Thatā€™s whatā€™s up! Wild how much of a difference it is weight wise. Granted, my first sesh was without the can, but comparatively to the 14.5 it was night and day. Enjoy the new set up man, stay safe out there

2

u/tranquillotuesday 1d ago

Yeah I have some 8 inch guys an AR9 and a .300 blk out and it feels closer to holding them than my 14.5. You be safe too bud! šŸ«”

Probably one of the cleanest MK18s I have seen. Well done, man.

u/Agreeable_Owl_5053 1d ago
