Heads up, there are troubling reports of packages being lost by Brownells' shipping partners and their CS saying there is nothing that can be done unless you paid for insurance.

This is completely false and it is up to the seller to get you your package intact and not destroyed.

We are advising everyone to please use a credit card with chargeback capabilities with Brownells for the foreseeable future. Debit cards do not offer very much, if any protection at all and it is up to your issuing bank to help you with a refund. Credit cards on the other hand are very much more receptive to issues due to it being the companies money being lent out until you pay the CC bill.

Tl;Dr: please use a credit card with Brownells and not a debit card

Happen to know what barrel profile the MK18 have? SOCOM title, Govt description.. which is correct?

Edit: Sheesh.. called Brownells just before they closed for the day and they have no idea what barrel it comes with😅… so would need to rely on someone who has purchased before.. anyone?

u/ApacheKillbot 2d ago edited 2d ago

For what its worth, the description on the brownells page says heavy SOCOM profile.

Edit: I am illiterate, M4A1 is SOCOM

8

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

Direct from the MK18 description…

“The upper receiver is mil-spec with indexing marks and M4 feed ramps. CNC Machined of 7075-T6 aluminum, type III hard coat anodized, color is black. The barrel is chrome-moly vanadium steel, cold hammer forged in a 1:7 twist, 10.3” government profile, chrome lined. “

u/ApacheKillbot 2d ago

My bad, I was on the M4A1 page. You are correct

1

u/Abhasenstab 2d ago

I purchased the M4A1 FSB upper during the last sale, it was a socom profile barrel

1

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

Thanks, hoping someone who has purchased a MK18 can chime in

1

u/Abhasenstab 2d ago

My bad I just realized you were referring to the MK18 and my last comment was unhelpful. Here’s another unhelpful comment: my MK18 that came from DD (not the Brownells version) was government profile

1

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

Yea I’m aware of that.. but I also read somewhere that Brownells has a contract w DD to make these SOCOM barreled but it’s not 100 percent confirmed

2

u/harthawk24 2d ago

My mk18 is govt and m4a1 is socom, both from brownells.

1

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

Wooow okay good to know! Guess I’ll stick to building. Thanks!

1

u/harthawk24 2d ago

I’d add the mk18 was bought 5 or so years ago so maybe it changed. M4 was much more recent

1

u/Natsuhi 2d ago

I've had the MK18 upper for years now. It's government.

u/Cypa 2d ago

I don’t care what anyone says. That was a good album.

u/anarchthropist 1d ago

Thanks for bringing me back to jr high.

u/WildlyWeasel 2d ago

I'd probably jump on that. Until then, my BCM w/BCG for 575 is just fine.

1

u/Bubbly-Celery-4096 2d ago

Still on sale?

https://bravocompanyusa.com/cosmetic-blem-bcm-standard-14-5-mid-length-enhanced-light-weight-complete-upper-receiver-group-w-mcmr-13-handguard/

Cheapest thing they have right now, unless you want something to add your own handguard. Still a solid deal imo. I got a 12.5" blem earlier in 2024.

1

u/Jsa1azar6 2d ago

Do these take round or triangle handguard caps?

1

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

If only this was BFH

1

u/Celestial-Soldier 2d ago edited 2d ago

Howd you get it for 575? Is there a discount code for bravo company?

1

u/Straight-Schedule314 2d ago

I got a 12.5” blem earlier in 2024.

Old pricing

u/IGuessImGodOfThe6 2d ago

Yurp... Im waiting

u/AirplaneChair 2d ago

That shit ain't happening again lol

u/LetsJustCalmTheFDown 2d ago

How long ago was that deal?

15

u/NoobRaunfels 2d ago

I’ve wanted one of these goddamn things forever, but Brownells won’t ship it to WA despite it not being illegal. Always pisses me off.

10

u/cz97 2d ago

Ask your FFL/Gun Store to order it for you

13

u/gucciflocka33 2d ago

$730 to Texas

9

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

So are these GOVT or SOCOM profile?

Because the title states SOCOM but description says GOVT

13

u/Natsuhi 2d ago

I've had both of these for years now. MK18 is government profile. M4A1 is Socom.

2

u/Westrongthen 15h ago

There is a post on r/danielsdefense about these. A DD rep says Brownells goes back and forth between the two barrels. So god only knows which you will get.

1

u/nope_noway_ 15h ago

also read this… too much of a gamble and would rather just build by that point.

-1

u/MorgpieIsGoat 2d ago

Socom I think. That’s what I got from brownells

1

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

You purchased one and confirmed it’s SOCOM?

You don’t sound very sure of yourself😅

Just don’t want to make the mistake of purchasing if it’s not

-1

u/MorgpieIsGoat 2d ago

It’s thicker near the barrel nut so I think it’s a socom. Look up what UPC or whatever code. It’s a complete upper from daniel defense so reference to DD not brownell. Plz don’t downvote even if I’m wrong lmao

2

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

If I buy this and you’re wrong I vow to search and downvote every post you have on Reddit😈

(Jk I rly don’t have that kind of time, but I will be like wth man)

u/SoItGoes2009 2d ago

anyone know the weight of this? Having a hard time finding it

8

u/LinechargeII 2d ago

Anything with the ris ii is going to weigh a metric ton

9

u/nope_noway_ 2d ago

Same material as Thor’s hammer… also why it can withstand a direct nuclear attack

2

u/SoItGoes2009 2d ago

Thanks, that’s what I figured

3

u/Minimum_Government 2d ago

Have the FSB version, laser beam. I need to shoot it more.

4

u/ZuluSafari 2d ago

Plz educate me. What is the difference between the govt and socom barrel and why does it matter?

5

u/GuysLeeFanboy 2d ago

Barrel profile really. The SOCOM profile barrel is suppose to be more accurate but 9 Hole Reviews dispelled that.

1

u/anarchthropist 1d ago

I haven't found them to be more accurate, but think they would have an edge when suppressed.

4

u/iRollFlaccid 2d ago

to my understanding, the SOCOM is the heavier barrel, can dissipate more heat, and doesn't cook off rounds after prolonged firing.

2

u/Bobaaoppa 2d ago

Does anyone know how long these sales/codes usually run for?

1

u/nope_noway_ 1d ago

Couple of days or Until they run out of stock

u/mithbroster 2d ago

They ship these to WA?

1

u/Abhasenstab 1d ago

If you ask your FFL to do so yes, don’t order it yourself because Brownells will come back with some BS stating they can only ship to FFL’s and that they can’t ship it if you are the one who placed the order. I had to fight with them to get my M4A1 at the discounted pricing shipped to my FFL. In the end the FFL paid for it and I paid him back.

1

u/le_jax 16h ago

Did u have to pay FFL a fee?

1

u/Abhasenstab 12h ago

In this case yes even though it was an unserialized item, I paid him a transfer fee ($45) for his time.

1

u/RackingRounds 14h ago

Is this same price around BlackFriday?
