Identify this weapon please.

A Croatian soldier learns basic rifle marksmanship techniques during Jackal Stone 2012 in Delnice, Croatia, Sept. 14, 2012. Jackal Stone is an annual joint special operations exercise designed to enhance capabilities and interoperability amongst the participating special operations forces as well as to build mutual respect while sharing doctrinal concepts, training concepts and various tactics, techniques and procedures.

UPDATE:
MDB (thanks buddy!) says its a Mk-18 Mod 1 CQB.  Time to get the stats so I can build one.  $200 tax stamp here I come.

  1. hmm. what is the military designation if you know. i'm seeing a bunch of super short barrelled rifles and i'd like to read stats on them.

  3. Yup. Mk.18. If you're going to do it, go either the routes of Noveske, Daniel Defense (holder of the current Mk.18 contract) or Lewis Machine & Tool (holder of the previous contract before DD got it --- though both are supplying CRANE with uppers still, regardless) in regards to the upper.

    Common suggestions say Noveske as the best lower to fit the category. Or just do a full DD/LMT build. I would recommend LMT first though.
