Looking great though! Only a few more things to get. Don't forget about the sling adapter.

That pretty much sums up why not to make it. Its going to be an ultimate pain to get the pain off now and all Mk18's are not painted and are not allowed to be painted.
If you where making an impression of a SEAL's VBSS of late 90's to the early 2000's, the Mk18 would be alright. From a source, they are still being used issued by certain SEAL Teams, but only the reserve ones or ones working off of ships, since its easier for the armorers to have to work on only one version of the rifle.

Keep the XM107 clicky thing tail switch, its more used then the pressure pad. Your also going to have a bit of trouble mounting the PEQ if you do decide to mount it on top. Moving the SF back a few notches on the RIS will alleviates that problem.
I would suggest keeping only one of the rack numbers on your rifle too. Too much is sometimes a bad thing. Drop the aimpoint rubber cover too.
