Did they use black or FDE KAC front flip up sights on the MK12 Mod 1?

How much flak would I catch if I made my own suppressor for my up coming mk12 mod1? It would utilize the ops brake and collar!

If it looks very similar to the Ops can, it would be pretty cool.

Otherwise, seems like a lot of effort to avoid buying a can that's a pretty phenomenal deal for what you get.

Building it would save me a long form 4 wait, by doing a form 1. A lot cheaper also, I have access to all kinds of material working for a metals recycler and have a lot of machine shops I service.

Patent infringement? Not sure how all that works. If it was me, I wouldn't be that eager to reinvent the wheel but it would be a cool project for sure.

Shouldn't be a patent problem unless I copied most of it and tried to sell for profit as my own design! Only similarities would be diameter, length and using their brake/collar. Just an idea, been pondering building my own suppressor for a few months now.

Hand-in-hand with the eye box/FOV is the 2.4 mm pupil @ 10x mag.  On a bright day, the reduction in light entering your eye is VERY obvious as you dial it up from ~5x to 10x.

True, but only the x24 (or TS-30A2) allows you to mount a PEQ-2 on a Mod 0 swan sleeve recess. ;-)

When has anyone actually ever seen a PEQ-2 mounted in the recess location.  If I ever saw them, they always seemed to be side mounted with a PVS-22.

I took it as NoDak machined them and then provided them to Brownells to engrave them and provide their serials numbers. Someone will chime in soon I'm sure

I believe that is the case.

I don't have an NDS to compare side by side, but these are excellent. The cleanest lowers I have ever purchased.

"Designed in conjunction with Nodak Spud..."

And the language in the video on this page , specifically "... that we are having done." at 0:24.

Absolutely agree.





Finish is excellent and both went together without incident.



Also, got back in the tas-1 game. (Pre-A1 swap)

Alright I need the hives wisdom.  I've officially lost my damn mind racking my brain around why I'm only getting 2 turns out of my 12th model before lock up.  My BCM barrel I get 7.5 rotations and my Ballistic Advantage is 6 rotations.  

Barrel is a Shilen supposedly setup for the ops collar and brake based on specs provided.  Soooo modify the collar or move the barrel step back?  From back of the collar to the step inside is 1.033"

Remeasured comes to 1.58"

Remeasured comes to 1.72"

Your "1.72"" measurement should be closer to 2", and your 1.58" is proportionally off (should be 1.625" ish)

 





Either your barrel is too short, or your step is .04" shallow.


 



Edit: I'd modify the collar...

Checked the barrel today too it's 18" exactly.  I've already disassembled the entire thing and prepped to have the barrels step moved back just not confident that's the right decision.  I've already called in a Hail Mary for another BCM barrel to replace this one if it doesn't work out.   Would be a shame to knowing how accurate this one is. Just looked at my BA barrel and the step is 1.70" back.  Yahtzee modifying the barrel will do.

Checked the barrel today too it's 18" exactly.  I've already disassembled the entire thing and prepped to have the barrels step moved back just not confident that's the right decision.  I've already called in a Hail Mary for another BCM barrel to replace this one if it doesn't work out . Would be a shame to knowing how accurate this one is





 
I'm thinking the original barrels were slightly longer that 18". KOBK would be the man to talk with, since he literally has a no shit original SPR. Maybe he could give you a barrel length with brake. (Only because taking that thing apart would be a travesty)


 



Edit: Are the two barrels identical, minus the step location? [email protected] and [email protected]

Barrel is a Shilen supposedly setup for the ops collar and brake based on specs provided.  Soooo modify the collar or move the barrel step back?  From back of the collar to the step inside is 1.033"

Remeasured comes to 1.58"

Your "1.72"" measurement should be closer to 2", and your 1.58" is proportionally off (should be 1.625" ish)  

Either your barrel is too short, or your step is .04" shallow.
 

Edit: I'd modify the collar...

I don't have any rods here at home to measure the barrels but what I've got is th BA 16" step is @ 1.7" and th Shilen 18" is @ 1.58".  The BCM is 18" but don't have torch here to loosen the collars set screw to measure the step.  Ron at AE hasn't answered my email (week now) so I don't know I should even bother asking him for a custom long collar with .14 removed from the inside step.

Well... ordered myself the Brownells M16A1 lower. Guess I'm getting serious about this build.
Been looking at the price of Colt BCG and Uppers... wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a 6920 OEM1 and then part out the lower and barrel?
Colt uppers are like $150 if you can find them in stock, and Brownells has the Colt BCG for $220 or so.

A Colt 6920 OEM is going for under $800 and I think the Colt lowers sell for like $400-$500 right? Barrels for $200?

If it looks very similar to the Ops can, it would be pretty cool.



Otherwise, seems like a lot of effort to avoid buying a can that's a pretty phenomenal deal for what you get.




Building it would save me a long form 4 wait, by doing a form 1. A lot cheaper also, I have access to all kinds of material working for a metals recycler and have a lot of machine shops I service.

He's not infringing anything if it's personal use and not for sale.

That doesn't make sense. The NF 2.5-10x32 is essentially the same size as the Mk4 MR/T 2.5-8x36

I know this image has already been posted, but god dammit if this isn't one of the coolest Mod 1s I've ever seen - it's worthy of a re-post (especially for the newcomers who may not have seen it yet):
