If the latter: correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its possible to clone a Mk18 using a 416?
Isn't the 416 upper receiver taller than the mk18? The rail sits a bit higher above the bore iirc.
If you stick a DD mk18 rail on a 416, wouldn't there be a visible difference in the height of your receiver rail and your fore end rail?
That’s my bad.

I did not buy a 416 to clone an MK18.
You are correct- it is a TR4-18 light

My eventual goal is to clone my MK18, but not with the 416. I bought the 416 as a means to get into the sport, and with the 10.5” barrel and quad rail, the 416 was close enough to pick up to get started and have something similar to my IRL setup. If/when I decide to get a little more invested into airsoft, I’ll do a proper replica of my gun.
