Hello.
I have been looking for a VFC GBBR V1 magazine for about 5 or 6 years with no success. Does anyone have one at home?

Description: These are the first-generation VFC GBBR H&K magazines, used in some early GBBR models like the M27. They were known for total-trash quality and severe leaking issues, so VFC quickly developed V2 and later V3 magazines.

The problem is that I specifically need this version for my USGI clone build. The current VFC V3 M4 magazines do not resemble STANAG magazines closely enough.

Hello. I would love to know the middle or late GWOT history of early genuine NSWC CRANE MK18 MOD0, in one of its original configuration:

M-16A1, A1 profile lower, Colt grey anodized, MK18 MOD0 CARBINE marked,
A1 pistol grip,
6-position LMT buffer tube, light grey anodized,
CRANE (patent marking) stock,
CQD sling plate,
M4 marked upper, 10.3 inch barrel,
M84 PRI charging handle,
F marked FSB,
LMT BUIS/chopped Colt charging handle.

How they lived through the GWOT years 2005-2008 and later? I can see all MK18 MOD0 marked lowers were reissued with 14.5 inch upper, which is very common on DVIDSHUB.

My goal is to make a genuine NSWC MK18 MOD0, GWOT OEF 2005-2010 clone reissued with KAC M4 RAS (not RIS), slim body type M951/M952 on ARMS mount (not Block I early fat type) and Aimpoint CompM2 with QRP mount (not ECOS-N/CompM2 on a Wilcox).

What US govt. issue sling is the most period correct for US Navy MK18 MOD0 M16A1 with LMT Crane stock?

These are available in my country:
Fire Force CQB 3-point
Blackhawk for Carbine
Blackhawk for M16
Raine CAGE 00PX1 MARINE CORP. ISSUED SLING
Type 499

Help needed guys. Is this genuine Aimpoint CompM3 CCO M68?

Looking legit to me.
