For anybody that wants a MK18 SBR or any SBR: Buy an AR pistol and use an ATF eForm 1 (convert an existing firearm to a SBR). The same process as described, but the eForm 1 has a waiting period of around 30-40 days instead of 8-12+ months.
You mentioned that you were nervous waiting the eight months not knowing if you were going to get approved for your form 4 I kind of felt the same way on my first tax stamp. Just to let you and your viewers know that if you can pass a 4473 (the federal form you fill out when you buy a gun from an FFL) and you have the right to legally own a firearm then you have the legal right to own an NFA item there aren't any additional requirements that would make you get denied for a tax stamp versus a regular 4473
Garrett - I’m quite certain if you have no felonies or history of violence you will not get denied. Especially if you’ve made legit firearm purchases before
Garrett if you have passed a background check on a 4473 you will get your tax stamp. When the NFA Branch does a background check on you to approve a stamp they literally follow the same process as a 4473.
Stephen B Another option is to build it as a pistol with a pdw brace like the maxim defense brace or that new SB tactical one that is pretty much a stock and you don't need to worry about all that other unconstitutional bull crap. Seeing as you can shoulder a brace now anyway, SBR's are in essence legal without being legal. Just my two cents worth and you'll save a little money and best of all...no bullshit waiting period or "tax stamp."
For your first AR, you sure picked a good one. I went with an AR pistol instead of an SBR. I live near where 2 states border, and travel into the other state often. I didn't pay $200 to the alphabet police, and I don't have to file paperwork with my intent, then receive permission to take my AR into another state. I applaud you for doing it right, but I just can't see it. All because of the shape/configuration of the part that contacts your body. Either way, you have one quality AR-15. Have fun with it. I'll look forward to the "evolution" video(s).
@@jonathanmerva5362 wrong. You still need a pre-approved 5320.20 before taking it out of your home state. The only NFA item that is exempt is a suppressor.
Because they look like flaming dumpster trash. I know ultimately it doesn’t really matter but as a consumer, being happy with the way a product looks is very important. Especially with that price tag.
I always say, up to personal opinion. I love the way they look factory. But we all have different tastes! I'm trying to decide on the mk18 with the RIS II or RIS III currently. (again, mostly just aesthetics)@@JoelCaseyJonesMusic
You’ve got the perfect plan for it eotech and a light home defense thats exactly where it would shine for you I put an eotech on mine I bought the same weapon only difference was a knights armament rear sight as I already had them and put the DD front fixed on there and I put an EoTech xps-0 I think it’s the shirt one with the single dot red and a sure fire mini scout with a cloud defensive switch plate holder for lack of better terms and that works great for me and also a BCM 88° angled fore grip as they don’t allow you to put a vertical grip on a barrel that short but the 88° works great and as far as a muzzle break I’ve put them on a lot of 16” guns but I’ve felt it just wasn’t necessary on a gun that short the recoil is very manageable bc it’s a 5.56 and there isn’t much muzzle rise at all so you don’t really need a muzzle break or a comp to be honest but of course no one needs anything but of course you do need an eotech and light once you get those you’ll see what I mean it’s a must that light will just increase your chances of putting down a threat by a lot they’re eyes are adjusted to dark creeping thru a house and you just gave them an instant migraine with a 500 lumen blast to the face they can’t see anything but you can see them well most certainly well enough to quickly put 15 or more rnds on target man you bought the right one there ive bought a lot of AR’s and that one is still my favorite I have no doubt it will be yours too congratulations man have fun!
First I bought DDM4 M4A1. then I sold the upper and registered the lower for SBR. It took like a month. Then I bought MK18 upper. But the suppressor took like 8 months.
@@KyleSVT You're welcome. After seeing your video I'm going to order the same. Grab the Surefire pressure switch for the top rail when you get your lights. That seems to be the go to switch no matter which LASER/Lights you run up front. I'm going to run a Surefire SOCOM MINI2 up front as well because that SBR will be very loud and disorientating in the house in a self defense scenario. I'm also going to run a surefire three lug flash hider too. FYI! :D
KyleSVT had to wait almost 2 months, there website was out of stock and i couldnt find a distributor with any. I got the black receiver w the fde rail and i gotta be honest its really dark, almost a burnt bronze. I love it though, hitting the range today
That flash hider is already suppressor ready, if you look at it on the Daniels Defense accessory section, it tells you what it’s compatible with. I a think a more accurate statement would be you want a better all around muzzle that is also suppressor ready.
In Canada what is considered an SBR in the US is treated the same as any handgun, AR or other firearms here that are considered 'restricted', its just a few day wait for the transfer authorization to bring it home after purchase. Sadly though we're saddled with our magazines being pinned to 5 measly rounds for semi-auto centerfire rifles, 10 for pistols. I have a DDM4V7 in the same Milspec + color.
Mini scout light pro with ds water proof with the st07 momentary on top with cloud defensive mount for switch and wire management is what it does and eotech exps3 is how I run mine but use fixed for absolute co witness at lower 1/3 of the optic
Man jeeps and guns? This channel just keeps getting better LOL. Hopefully we get to see some shooting footage of this beauty. Way to go starting out your ar buying with an sbr. Now youve got one wait out of the way so youll have something to play with during the next wait haha.
Awesome looking forward to seeing that man! Gun buying becomes an addiction almost immediately. I have gotten into the habit of buying guns on my lunch break at work HAHA. Working next door to a gun shop is a curse.
Cant go wrong with that! My ak is one of my favorite guns to shoot! Id much rather shoot it than my ar for sure. Honestly not even sure what is more fun about it i just find my self enjoying it much more haha.
Don’t kid yourself, buddy. . you go through the EXACT same procedure to procure an SBR tax stamp as everyone else does. Otherwise, none of us “have a problem” buying anything either. 🤷♂️
That’s because you bought the pistol version and NOT the SBR, anyone that can pass the background check can do exactly what you did. I did the same thing, and then E-filed for a tax stamp, my third stamp for an SBR, waited 32 days for the stamp and then changed out the pistol brace for the same stock, ( $75 ), that the MK18 SBR comes standard with. Very simple process with only a fraction of the wait time.
BCM with A3 adjustable pistol brace !!! 1/2 the price just as nice concealable and cross state transportable “Pistol” but Daniel is really nice just taken aback by they’re Initial Blind support of anti-gun legislation
Stephen Pepper The ATF has no authority to do that. They enforce laws, like the NFA, they do not interpret them. They tried to stop people from shouldering braces, then some patriotic lawyer worked his speech craft to convince them how the NFA doesn’t prohibit us from shouldering braces. And the ATF decided to just sit down and shut up.
Jesus that’s an expensive first ar most people go with like an M&P15 or colt 6920 but no you dropped the $1800 plus $200 for tax stamp and waited a year. Power to you bro
keenan walker yea mine was a lot less than that but yea I wanted an sbr for sure and loved the look and quality of DDMK18. Definitely and extreme first AR lol Thanks man!
Hey man if you wanna be reeeeal tacticool. Troy industries makes nightsights for rifles. Standard m4 and hk style. Slap a peq15 on or dbal or ngal. A surefire scout. Unity or skalarworks mount to an eotech and magnifier combo. Add your own choice of vert grip and you'll have the SOCOM setup. Lol
Check out the Fortis Shift angled grip. It’s a hand stop/angled grip all in one. It’s more expensive than a Magpul afg, as it is aluminum. But I damn love it. Also, give us an update on this one!
Did you go with the eotech? I just have the V7 with the eotech. Mini surefire/arisaka mount with the cloud def tape switch. Works excellent with the front sight up. Inside 15 yards my point of aim is never more than two inches off. DD guns handle great. I have the 308 too.

Love your rifle and your choice of upcoming accessories,...form 4 is a Joke, Funny how a dangerous firearm becomes safe with $200 and 6 months of waiting 🤦.a SureFire and Eotech will be at home on this baby,
I prefer an adjustable piston on a SBR. I want to control the gas. Especially if the Gasport is too large to begin with. Contemplate your age and your eyes before you purchase your EOtech.
I purchased the same DDMK18 MIL-SPEC+ On May 11 2019 they cashed my "check" debit card on June 21st 2019 I called them last week May 14th 2020 and the same answer is always "still pending" I haven't even been assigned an examiner yet I just don't understand it..it's been just over a year since I purchased the rifle and next month will be 1 year since they cashed my check I've upgraded it with all types of accessories everything except for a light because they told me it would be 6 to 8 months SBR take the shortest time suppressors take the longest I don't know what's going on someone is not doing their job I own other rifles including the DDM4A1 along with others I was willing to wait 6 to 8 months 9 months tops that's what I was told by several people but after a year and I still haven't even been assigned an examiner somewhat unacceptable I'm a law-abiding citizen
Well I’ve decided to buy one because I’ve moved from New Jersey to North Carolina and I want to exercise my second amendment like all free Americans sad thing is hearing you describe waiting six months reminds me in New Jersey you have to wait a lot longer then that for a handgun 🇺🇸
So you can create a trust and anyone on the trust will have access to the nfa item. For individual it's just me who owns the rifle and I always have to be present if someone else wants to shoot it. It used to be if you did a trust you didnt have to get fingerprints but they changed it.
I can’t comment on the Surefire SOCOM Brake/Warden, but I have the 5.56 Ferfrans CRD on mine and it’s awesome. If you do get the Surefire Warden setup, make a Vid. I might put the 7.62 SOCOM Brake/Warden on my Sig 716 DMR.
A DD Being your first AR there isn't anywhere in which to go up to. Congratulations!! If you get bored of it. Give me a holler I will trase you AK with 2000 of rd .
Could you just buy the pistol version and buy a stock and just do the paperwork so you can put the stock on? That way you can have your pistol and just wait to put the stock on?
yes but then you need to get the lower engraved. For me it was just easier buying a factory built sbr but you could for sure buy a pistol and run a brace until your paperwork for the sbr gets approved.
Yes you can absolutely do that. And the laser engraving is no big deal, I’ve had two of them done, placed the engraving on the underside of the flared mag well, completely out of sight, but easily seen and meets ATF requirements.
@@KyleSVT, the “factory built” SBR is the EXACT SAME WEAPON as the Pistol version, one simply has a brace and the other a stock, easily switched out in less than 10 seconds. 🤷♂️
why not just buy a pistol brace and avoid 200 charge and long wait , not to mention you are restricted on traveling across state lines. hoops and jumps too
KyleSVT ok awesome, so in your opinion which would you rather prefer for your "ultimate" shtf "go to" pick one gun? The mk or slr? I only want one gun, if you don't have enough experience shooting both yet that's fine just let me know, or make a video further down the road please!
I'm going to shoot both this Saturday. The Mk18 feels like such a quality piece of machinery. The AK is cool and I really dig it but the Mk18 is still my favorite. But I'll let you know my thoughts on the AK after this Sat
Great video. Thanks for the insight on that particular AR. Quick question though, if after you paid for the AR up front ($2000+) and you were hypothetically denied after the 6 month NFA check, I don't suppose you would be able to get a refund? Or are you out of pocket on that money?Thanks.
@@KyleSVT Yeah, I'm actually curious because I too have been looking at Daniel Defense AR's - particularly this same model you patiently waited on. I didn't realize the wait was that long though. Oh well, some things are worth waiting for.
@@KyleSVT It sure is, but you had a point too in your video about the short barrel being possibly a better option for home defense. We shall see though. Btw, was the approval process similar to the Concealed Carry?
Nice, I’ve got the pistol. Got an aimpoint T1 on it, tango down stubby grip, and soon to have the 5 position retractable SBA3 brace for it. Like the battle field music, and video quality. You play Escape From Tarkov?
Awesome bro, feel free to join my discord and maybe we can play this next patch. Lots of AK fans in here, but it's pretty much for everyone now. discord.gg/BJuDAah
Ok great! Yeah should be a lot of fun squading up, I'm pretty sure most of us are going Bear this time around. The new merchant will be selling clothing so were gonna get the Russian camo's lol.
I might have missed it or maybe I'm just stupid, but did you already have a Class 3 License or can you acquire these guns without a class 3 and just apply to get it. Still learning about guns so please take it easy on me.
i heard you say you had to stamp the M18? fill out a form? so its not easy to own one ? as going into your gun store and buying a AR15?..... the gun is 2,000 online is there a legal process for me to own a mk18? its semi auto right?
SubHero4eveR the barrel is shorter than 16 inches so it is classified as a short barrel rifle, which requires a tax stamp ($200) and wait about 8 months to get the letter back approving you to purchase the item.
An i hear if you go with the pistol an have a concealed pistol licence you have this in your car an be LEGAL.because its a pistol an you can have loaded mags an still be LEGAL IN MICH.
100% Get the Surefire Warcomp , I got some videos of both on my MK18 Warcomp and Warden . Warcomp Stays flat and no Flash at all , Warden it throws a 3 foot flame but also throws the blast forward which is great for indoors . Check out the video , ohh one thing swap in a Giessle S3G Super 3 Gun trigger in it ...man that made a huge difference
I could’ve built that for 50 dollars. It’s smarter to never spend over 100 dollars on an AR. Mosin nagants work so much better. And I’m so much smarter than everyone else
For anybody that wants a MK18 SBR or any SBR: Buy an AR pistol and use an ATF eForm 1 (convert an existing firearm to a SBR). The same process as described, but the eForm 1 has a waiting period of around 30-40 days instead of 8-12+ months.
8-12 months? *Fuck* that. Lol, that made my decision easier, thanks.
so u have to wait 8-12 months to get the MK-18?
@@GamePath hold your horses.
The form 1s going to have your name engraved on it, city and state...
The SBR will be authentic.
@@floored3078 so whats bad about the form 1? wont a form 4 also have your information? lol
@@OwnedEpicStyle form 1 is going to have your actual name stamped on the rifle, looks goofy.

if you measure freedom to dollars spent.

I purchased the same DDMK18 MIL-SPEC+ On May 11 2019 they cashed my "check" debit card on June 21st 2019 I called them last week May 14th 2020 and the same answer is always "still pending" I haven't even been assigned an examiner yet I just don't understand it..it's been just over a year since I purchased the rifle and next month will be 1 year since they cashed my check I've upgraded it with all types of accessories everything except for a light because they told me it would be 6 to 8 months SBR take the shortest time suppressors take the longest I don't know what's going on someone is not doing their job I own other rifles including the DDM4A1 along with others I was willing to wait 6 to 8 months 9 months tops that's what I was told by several people but after a year and I still haven't even been assigned an examiner somewhat unacceptable I'm a law-abiding citizen
So you pay for the gun and the tax stamp prior to being approved, what if they say no?
Well I’ve decided to buy one because I’ve moved from New Jersey to North Carolina and I want to exercise my second amendment like all free Americans sad thing is hearing you describe waiting six months reminds me in New Jersey you have to wait a lot longer then that for a handgun 🇺🇸
Can you remove the cover on the rail to add a foregrip?
yes you sure can. I dont run those anymore now that i have a bunch of accesories on it
@@KyleSVT nice. Thanks for the reply!
no problem!
So basically, you don't have to "register" it if it has a brace?
correct because then it's a pistol lol
When you mentioned filing as an "individual" and not a "trust". What does that mean?? Are the waits different?
So you can create a trust and anyone on the trust will have access to the nfa item. For individual it's just me who owns the rifle and I always have to be present if someone else wants to shoot it. It used to be if you did a trust you didnt have to get fingerprints but they changed it.
KyleSVT copy, thank you.
no problem!
VFG magpul I like them better than the bcm VFG is to thick to grab
I can’t comment on the Surefire SOCOM Brake/Warden, but I have the 5.56 Ferfrans CRD on mine and it’s awesome. If you do get the Surefire Warden setup, make a Vid. I might put the 7.62 SOCOM Brake/Warden on my Sig 716 DMR.
Just made a new video of the new mods I put on the MK18
Just got one!!
Congrats Kevin!
@@KyleSVT ty.
It would be cool to have the AR pistol registered under a concealed carry
wow very high quality video. What kind of ammo are you running through it right now?
Thank you! Gonna run some 55g ball for the range and get some really nice hollow point for home defense
Would it be a better option to buy the pistol, start the paperwork, then swap the stock to a brace when everything is approved?
Yes, that’s a very legit and smart option, but you would swap the brace for a stock. The pistol comes standard with an SBA3 brace.
Yes
A DD Being your first AR there isn't anywhere in which to go up to. Congratulations!! If you get bored of it. Give me a holler I will trase you AK with 2000 of rd .
Thanks brother but just bought an slr107 :)
Could you just buy the pistol version and buy a stock and just do the paperwork so you can put the stock on? That way you can have your pistol and just wait to put the stock on?
yes but then you need to get the lower engraved. For me it was just easier buying a factory built sbr but you could for sure buy a pistol and run a brace until your paperwork for the sbr gets approved.
@@KyleSVT god damn the nfa is so dumb. I was told you can now shoulder an AR pistol...
Yes you can absolutely do that. And the laser engraving is no big deal, I’ve had two of them done, placed the engraving on the underside of the flared mag well, completely out of sight, but easily seen and meets ATF requirements.
@@KyleSVT, the “factory built” SBR is the EXACT SAME WEAPON as the Pistol version, one simply has a brace and the other a stock, easily switched out in less than 10 seconds. 🤷♂️
AWESOMENESS Congrats 😂😂😂
Thank you!
How long did u have to wait for this rifle for the tax stamp
About 7 months. I say exactly how long in the video
why not just buy a pistol brace and avoid 200 charge and long wait , not to mention you are restricted on traveling across state lines. hoops and jumps too
I like a stock over a brace, but when I bought the Mk18 the braces were not any where near as nice as they are today
doesnt agree with the hoops to jump through but gonna do it anyways, gee i bet it'll change if people keep throwing money at them.
Only way to make it change is to vote for ppl who are on our side.
your wait time was relatively short compared to many many other people. my personal wait time was almost 1 year. i think approximately 11 months
wow thats crazy!
Get you a PEQ too, they just complete the look for me personally. Hahah
haha yea they look sick
Idk if I should get this or an arsenal AK 😣
Haha funny you say that. I just bought an arsenal slr107r lol
KyleSVT ok awesome, so in your opinion which would you rather prefer for your "ultimate" shtf "go to" pick one gun? The mk or slr? I only want one gun, if you don't have enough experience shooting both yet that's fine just let me know, or make a video further down the road please!
I'm going to shoot both this Saturday. The Mk18 feels like such a quality piece of machinery. The AK is cool and I really dig it but the Mk18 is still my favorite. But I'll let you know my thoughts on the AK after this Sat
🇺🇸👍cool video.i have a hard time paying 200 $ for a stock.an a tax stamp.ATF.the pistol might be easier.thanks again
I think we may be the best you can get. However I still don’t see the big deal around having an sbr.
Great video. Thanks for the insight on that particular AR. Quick question though, if after you paid for the AR up front ($2000+) and you were hypothetically denied after the 6 month NFA check, I don't suppose you would be able to get a refund? Or are you out of pocket on that money?Thanks.
Yea I actally dont know the answer to that one lol
@@KyleSVT Yeah, I'm actually curious because I too have been looking at Daniel Defense AR's - particularly this same model you patiently waited on. I didn't realize the wait was that long though. Oh well, some things are worth waiting for.
Yea if you dont want to wait the M4A1 is a great rifle as well
@@KyleSVT It sure is, but you had a point too in your video about the short barrel being possibly a better option for home defense. We shall see though. Btw, was the approval process similar to the Concealed Carry?
very true. No that was much much faster
Is there a difference with the Mil Spec+ other than the coating? And is there any benefit to the different coating since it's almost $200 more?
nope just the color
Nice, I’ve got the pistol. Got an aimpoint T1 on it, tango down stubby grip, and soon to have the 5 position retractable SBA3 brace for it. Like the battle field music, and video quality. You play Escape From Tarkov?
thanks brother! I actually do play a little bit of it
havnt shot it yet but I heard the first run of the ddmk18 had the problem and they fixed it with the newer ones. But ill let uk when I go shoot it
Awesome bro, feel free to join my discord and maybe we can play this next patch. Lots of AK fans in here, but it's pretty much for everyone now. discord.gg/BJuDAah
sweet dude! I like AKs as well!
Ok great! Yeah should be a lot of fun squading up, I'm pretty sure most of us are going Bear this time around. The new merchant will be selling clothing so were gonna get the Russian camo's lol.
Do I need to purchase an SBR or suppressor first to file the atf forms? Or can I file the atf forms, get approved and then apply that to my purchase?
Must purchase first then send forms in
Gotta have the firearm first because you have to identify the firearm on your form, Make/Model/Serial #, etc...
Doing the form 4 online is much faster. You just send in the fingerprint card. I got my sbr tax stamp for my mp40 in just 30 days
That’s violating the shit out of the fourth amendment how absurd that you need to do that
I might have missed it or maybe I'm just stupid, but did you already have a Class 3 License or can you acquire these guns without a class 3 and just apply to get it. Still learning about guns so please take it easy on me.

i heard you say you had to stamp the M18? fill out a form? so its not easy to own one ? as going into your gun store and buying a AR15?..... the gun is 2,000 online is there a legal process for me to own a mk18? its semi auto right?
SubHero4eveR the barrel is shorter than 16 inches so it is classified as a short barrel rifle, which requires a tax stamp ($200) and wait about 8 months to get the letter back approving you to purchase the item.
Are you going to be taking it out target shooting or is this primarily a stay-at-home defense gun?
lots and lots of target shooting for sure.
Beautiful
An i hear if you go with the pistol an have a concealed pistol licence you have this in your car an be LEGAL.because its a pistol an you can have loaded mags an still be LEGAL IN MICH.
David Garza
Fuckin’ A
You can carry rifles loaded in Tn. Lol
How far is it able to shoot?
Far enough but it is a more cqc weapon
Badass mk18
Thank you sir!
100% Get the Surefire Warcomp , I got some videos of both on my MK18 Warcomp and Warden . Warcomp Stays flat and no Flash at all , Warden it throws a 3 foot flame but also throws the blast forward which is great for indoors . Check out the video , ohh one thing swap in a Giessle S3G Super 3 Gun trigger in it ...man that made a huge difference
HAHAH that's so funny. I actually watched your warden flame thrower video and that's what made me want it lol Also good to know about the trigger!
This is the sbr that i want too. Pls update with regards to your accessories, im interested. Thanks.

So us civilians can buy this ???
Yes
@@KyleSVT so it’s perfectly legal to have a 10.3 barrel or 11.5?
Thanks for the fast response!
I talk about all the specifics in the video
didn't know ariel helwani was into mk18s
I could’ve built that for 50 dollars. It’s smarter to never spend over 100 dollars on an AR. Mosin nagants work so much better. And I’m so much smarter than everyone else
lol
Can 18 years old civilians buy it ?
depends on state
@@KyleSVT about texas
@@KyleSVT can civilians buy it? Age or state doesnt matter
@@wolfandre8157 yes a civilian can own it
@@KyleSVT thank you for answers finally i have one more question it is can green card owners buy it or any gun?
