Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol

[KyMo488]

Thought I’d share my current favorite “pistol”. Had to sell a few to fund this one but I really like it. I have an DD M4A1 that I run an ACOG on which makes a great big brother to this! 

Set up:

-DD MK 18 10.3” 5.56

-Geissele SD-C trigger

-Eotech XPS2-0

-Surefire Warcomp

-TangoDown VFG (meets 26” OAL)

-Magpul Pro Iron Sights

-Surefire Mini Scout M300 with pressure pad

-SB Tactical A3 Brace 

-Lancer Mags

Thanks for looking

Right at 7lbs dry.. which isn’t light but, it’s so well balanced you don’t notice.

Very nice.  Full disclosure I am a bit of a Daniel Defense fanboy since going to their armorer course and touring the factory.  I have a M4V7 14.5" SLW and a .300 10.3 V7 I use on SWAT.  Both are super accurate and reliable. Little overgassed is the only complaint I have.

Oh man, I’ve always wanted to tour their facility! This is my 3rd DD, and I too am a fanboy. Their quality is excellent and I love their barrels. A .300 BLK 10.3” is on the horizon for me, I’ve always wanted one!

Top shelf setup, quite a beauty.  I'd be in favor of SBR'ing it...but I understand the logic in keeping some guns in pistol configuration legally and logistically.

I’ve been going back and forth.. I have a B5 SOPMOD stock just sittin’ in my parts bin just begging to be put on a rifle lol But there are definite benefits to keeping it as a pistol, especially for out of state training..

The B5 is a solid choice that can't go wrong...but for the setup you have, this stock would seem to be more congruent to the overall package.

Fantasy matching, really.  Your reasons for keeping it as a pistol are quite logical, I've just never been a fan of the brace craze.

Those stocks are great too.. I just love the cheek weld on SOPMODs. I think I’ll probably keep it as a pistol for now and work on getting a can for it first, maybe SBR later down the road.
