NICE build man! Love it. I have an Mk18 MOD 1 based on an ARES electric AEG but I think you got me beat!

The only thing missing is the Tangodown Mk46 vertical grip! I believe the Mod Block guys are currently using the Mk46 anyway.

OH! And if you paint it, the real Mk18 MOD 1's I've seen are two-tone. The upper is black but the lower is rattle can dark earth.

I was under the impression it was because they were using their old lowers which most were already painted BUT they were told they could NOT paint the new uppers yet.

Sure seems to have caught on though, some Airsoft companies are now selling two-tone custom Mk18's and I see them that way in videogames now too!

Couple pictures of a real Mk18 MOD 1.
