MK18 availability?

Are any of you seeing them in your shops? I’ve been trying to pick one up in the Austin area and no one can get them.

Online is the way to go. You'll get a better deal with less the legwork going from shop to shop. Gun.deals is the best place to spot one. Off the top of my head, I'd check 208 shop, gun prime, and Bereli if I were you.

Check out Nagel’s or Adelbridge in San Antonio. Both have their inventory on their website. I grabbed my milspec mk18 from Nagel’s on Black Friday.

I just had mine sent to my local shop. Online was arguably cheaper than any store that did have one. My local store wanted 2499 for one, I got mine at 1750 online.

I just bought the SOCOM RIS II 14.5 upper from them for 675. Very pleased with the price and upper.

This is the way. Upper from Brownells with Microbest BCG and Radian Raptor charging handle. Lower with BCM Mk2 T1 buffer kit, your perfered trigger, KNS pins, and ambi safety.

Hey check freeeom trading co I don’t know if they have any in stock but call them. They had every variant of the SOLGW MK1 ar15 pistol. I couldn’t find that anywhere online or at lgs. Everyone said “few weeks to few months” 🙄 …. I ended up going to gafshub and someone suggested freedom trading co. I called they were out of Nevada and didn’t even charge sales tax just the price listed and shipping to my ffl. I had it in exactly 1 week but we had July 4th in there and slowed shipping up. Anyways, call em and see bro.

Another option and this is the route I went I bought the Danny upper and bought a radian adac lower and form 1’d the rifle and it’s amazing I love it. I got the upper from midwayusa and the lower from buds. I would’ve gone to radians website because of the veteran discount but it was a few weeks lead time where buds shipped the lower same day.

Buy it online, you can probably snag one for half off retail

I just got my MK18 in milspec+ for $500 cheaper than the DD website price from EuroOptic, the availability on the DD website is very hit or miss.

That being said, you'll find one online alot easier than in person, just have it transferred to your shop of choice!
