tomster Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Probably referring to the engravings/trademarks amongst other things. Link to post Share on other sites

elrey Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 The trades of course, I was thinking more about parts. Thanks for the rundown. Is that a frog's skeleton? Link to post Share on other sites
Sinner101GR Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 $325 USD listed at Redwolf on preorder. Add another $100 or so for shipping, thats still really cheap. I do say, I want it. Link to post Share on other sites

Also thanks for the heads up my mind was on guns ATM (ala the Russian PSS) Yeah thats a Frog Skeleton... Some SEALs from ST3 (I think.... or was it 10...) Had it sprayed everywhere including the back of there plate carriers PS tidbit on the wonky receiver... it says Save and not Safe... Seems G&P isnt fond of looking things over... Cal. Mutli come to mind? Link to post Share on other sites
MCXL Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Is that a replica Daniel Defense MK18 rail? Coool. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I usually yawn at new Armalites...but this one looks ace. But I'll wait until a decent manufacturer with some quality control makes it, like JG or something. Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 What is it with G&P and *suitcase* trades? Why can't they just do accurate ones for once? Link to post Share on other sites
Bareknuckle Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 What is it with G&P and *suitcase* trades? Why can't they just do accurate ones for once? They've got guns with accurate trades. If you go on WGCshop, some of their guns have Colt and FN trades. I actually like their fake trades better, but I don't take my game or myself too seriously.

Skarclaw Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Don't think so, I think he had some bad experience with g&p before. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Bad experiences (plural!). Ive had so many terrible quality products from G&P. 12-15 maybe. Im sick of them! Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It seems G&P's trademarks are getting even more random and ugly. Punisher skull AND ST10 frog skeleton? Ugh... they even *fruitcaged* up the bog-standard selector markings... which are fine on their other models. Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Been there, done that... G&P should have named it MK 18 Mod 1. Their rear sling should be CQD, the rail should be dark brownish more-he DD MK 18 RIS 2 doesn't come in black color and the pistol grip should either be A2 or A1. Oh wells... Here's a pic of mine with Block 1 accesories: Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 AND yours looks better by a vast margin. Take that, G&P. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Wow Hispeed I never would have expected you'd post in this thread. But, needless to say this looks like a mighty fine piece of *equipment* despite the horrible trades ( although having a frog skeleton on my rifle would be rather.. unique) Link to post Share on other sites
julietcharlie Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I read in AR15 that the first batches of DD MK18 RIS II came in black, but the new batches are in FDE. The screws on those MK18 RIS II replicas are also wrong they should be with flat screws. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 ( although having a frog skeleton on my rifle would be rather.. unique) I think having ANY sort of skeleton on your rifle would be more than rather.. unique. Painted on, on the other hand... and back to point.. considering that a lot of people go out and paint their gear anyways, often the colour and 'trades' don't make a damn, considering they are going to be covered up anyway.

Hispeed1 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I read in AR15 that the first batches of DD MK18 RIS II came in black, but the new batches are in FDE. The screws on those MK18 RIS II replicas are also wrong they should be with flat screws. The screws ARE wrong on the replica-but what can you expect at 1/4 the price? The flat head screw doesn't affect the rail, both will hold the lower rail. It's just a very minor detail. The finish and fitment of the replica is great. The only issue is the inner barrel nut. The threads don't match up with TM, CA or aftermarket metal bodies. You need an AR-15 armorers wrench to install the inner barrel. Other than that, its great. Very solid and good price. Uhhh, sorry for posting my pic. Link to post Share on other sites
julietcharlie Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I agree that the screws are nothing serious I was just stating what a buyer need to change to make it more accurate. By inner barrel nut I assume you were saying that it is the barrel nut for the upper to outer barrel right? By this do you mean that we need to re-cut the threads of the upper to fit the barrel nut? I have a replica RIS II inbound and I need to know if I need to buy a die to install it on my ICS upper, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
CSI304 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 What brand receiver does the ACM clone DD RIS II fit? G&P, guarder, hurricane? I might be interested in building a MK18 Block2 as my next project. Link to post Share on other sites
