Yeahhhhh i was exhausted. My brain was shot and just told mike to edit in the information. I cant remember all the history on eveything off the top of my head. And didnt write the shit down like i should have. Sorry mang
Nice setup man, l have the same setup that l use as my patrol duty rifle in Texas, l even have the AAC 556 SD can after 7 years of hard use l sent it back to AAC last month to repair the latch, from my door to them and back to my door was 9 days and 120 Dollars.
Hell yeah. AAC is an incredible company. They make such a durable and affordable product. The new ranger 5 looks sick. You can send you 556sd in and have it turned into a ranger 5. Pretty much brand new can for sending yours in
u know ur trigger and hammer pins are supposed to rotate so u are eventually gonna ruin the j spring in that hammer. those pins are for cartrige style drop in triggers,not mil spec.they make pins with screws on each end so they wont walk but they still let the pins rotate.
Weird. Didnt know that. Ive had that trigger in there like that since shiiiiit 2 barrels ago... like thousands and thousands of rounds. Since 2011. Never had an issue. Did have an issue with pins wanting to walk out though 🤷🏻♂️
Great video. MK18 mod0 is my favorite rifle! Hope to build mine one day. I run a Colt M4 14.5inch barrel. Build with the same amazing KAC RAS. I mounted the Larue M68 mount with a Aimpoint PRO. This mount is caviar! Love it. I have a little issue with my B5 stock, it’s wiggle a bit , do you have the same on your? (It’s a milspec buffer tube and the stock also). Thanks for sharing your beauty !
@@vingazole3866 thanks so much. Love the support. I have no issues with any of my b5 stocks. It might be the buffer tube causing that. I run bcm buffer tubes and have zero issues there. I actually sold the mod 0. Idk why i did. But i got some other stuff coming thats epic
Why lot of guys build an Ar15 like this and say "MK18 mod 0" ? For me, if it's an 10.3 with lot of wrong accesoires, it's not a Mod 0, and not an Mk18. 4 parts is ok : LTM sight, M2 (but wrong mount) PEQ2, and RAS Mod 0 was also issued ONLY for NAVY VBSS crew, not SEAL... SEALs have CQBR upper on the SOPMOD kit, so the standard lower of the Sopmod (M4A1) with CQBR upper. Good luck to find any pictures of SEAL with an Mod 0 (marking, M16 lower etc...)
Appreciate the feed back. It isn't clone correct, but i just wanted to build it with the real deal in mind. Sort of a tribute to it. Its my way of showing respect to the greats even if it isnt perfect. Some parts are just impossible to find or so over the top price gouged i went with what i could get my hands on. Sorry to disappoint anyone. It is not my intentions. Either way, glad to have you here.
@@BearArmsChannel its 3/8" so its a diff size than everyone else. Takes up 7 slots. But its 3d printed so if you really wanted to with enough determination you could cut some off. For me and the aimpoint it was Perfect match
Thank you. Thats right its smaller. Forgot to correct that mistske. My brain was scatter brain that whole video i just was not in it. My apologies. Actually no it wasnt ecco. Although they are the go to for this service and are extremely popular, i had gone through "Mr. Silencers" in Mesa Arizona. They offer the service for a really good price. If you have a advanced armament the company its self are taking their old suppressors back and doing mount and baffle conversions to their new suppressor the "ranger 5" as well as the "ranger 7"
Love to see it. Welcome to the channel man. We are rather new to youtube but we have a LOT in store coming up. Bext video out should be the griffin armament m4sd-ii 5.56 suppressor review with a friend of mine. And of course a bunch more shorts in the mix. Thanks for subscribing
U don't want to run kns pins on a geissele. Geissele is a milspex trigger which means it supposed to have pins that rotate. Those pins are stainless and the trigger is tool steel so they can gall but ur gonna end up breaking the j spring in the hamme cause it's designed to hold stationery to the pin with spring tension and the pin is supposed to rotate.those were made for cassette style drop in triggers but it's ur blaster,just a little info. Nice gun though
Thanks for the heads up. Some solid info. Weirdly enough ive had those pins in for 8 years with no issues. But maybe ill swap them out just in case. Probably a good idea
@@SouthWestGunnerOfficial if it's something u would use in a shtf type deal then I would because it's also easy to pop the pins in the field if u get a blown primer lodged in the bottom of the trigger,u can just pop them with a bullet tip instead of having to dig out tools.i actually had that happen in the middle of a 8 hr firefight in Afghanistan. If it's been in there that long its probably fine or the j spring is fully compressed which means a standard hammer pin might not stay in cause not enough tension. It's ur rifle and u set it up the way u want.what works for u is the right set up. I just gave u the reason why cause u said u didn't know. Awesome gun man,keep training. Salute!
@@Chevydude1982 no no youre absolutley right. This guns going to be my battle rifle if shit really pops off. And you have a good point with the pins. Going to have to swap them out. My mod0 wouldnt be my battle rifle but my block ii is. And thats this lower. So yeah nope definitley swappin pins
@@SouthWestGunnerOfficial nice! I'll be here for that one 👍 clone content is the best content IMHO. I really dig the guns of GWOT. Good shit bro, keep em coming 👍🙂👍
@@SouthWestGunnerOfficial me too! My mod1 sbr is not even close to correct, but I don't get all wrapped around the axle about every part being correct.
@@westernoutpost4154 clones are cool but technology has progressed. Some stuff can be better on clones but makes them not "cLoNe CoRrEcT🥴".. yeah but now its a better gun 🤷🏻♂️
It’s ridiculous that these lame ass keyboard warriors have dictated how people start their videos showing that the weapon has been cleared it’s really redundant
Title: "Crane Spec" Spends the entire video going over everything not Crane Spec 😂. Literally the only thing that is in spec is the KAC rail and barrel length. Mentions gas port, but has no idea what size. Doesn't even mention Cranes extractor changes Absolute clown.
TNTE sales is the place to buy these uppers. All the details are listed on their page. Sorry i didnt have the information in front of me and i also made an Apology at the end of the video. I was extremely tired and we shot the video "interview" part of it in the middle of the night after running around like a madman all day. I am Sorry you didnt enjoy the video but i still appreciate you being here regardless. All i can do is try to be better with the information from this point forward. My memory is not the greatest due to a very serious head injury i sustained years prior. Without the information directly in front of me i wont be able to recall specific details. Hopefully changes i am making to my channels layout will bring better overall satisfaction in the future. 👍🏼
@@Trygga_Mike honestly, great replies. Much respect. And I'm sorry if I was harsh Only feedback I got is I honestly wouldn't have minded at all if it was titled something other than Crane spec. MK18 clones are always awesome, correct or not. There was just a lot of deviation, and it triggered the pedantic nerd in me. You have a cool build. Again, sorry for lashing out FWIW, here are the specs M16A1 or M4 Carbine lower (grips were A2 on the M4 lowers, and old A1 with the ring hole on the A1 lowers) B5 SOPMOD Stock M84 Gas Buster charging handle LMT fixed rear sight Colt AF marked M4 upper M16 BCG, with 5 coil commercial spring and o-ring in the extractor KAC RAS with broom handle (P+S can be substituted, they picked up contract to help keep up with demand, but Vero Beach KAC production is time-period accurate) 10.3" barrel, the gas port is opened from 1.6mm to 1.8mm Regular old standard FSB with standard front sight post KAC M4QD flash hider Not all had optics, but most did. Which one depends on time period, and who was using it. Older setups were the Aimpoint CompM2 (aka the M68 CCO) with Wilcox mount. Others had the newer M4, but I'm not as familiar with them. Most also had a single point sling point replacing the standard M4 end plate, but I can't remember exactly what they were off the top of my head
@@brettbaune so for videos like this in the future would you want something more structured and maybe have us write a script to make sure we hit all the talking points? I’ve considered it but I didn’t want the video to feel super rigid and awkward
@@Trygga_Mike no, structure was fine. My only gripe was calling the build in spec when it wasn't. But I was being a blowhard know-it-all troll nerd. I was making a big deal over something minor, and I was in the wrong for that. Again, I apologize for my behavior
Making me listen to Ghetto Music while you shoot was NOT a good choice, at least for me. If this is a Black channel, you should have told me and I would have passed it by like the others.
