[#1]
Wasn't loose, wobbly, no full-auto, rapid fire.
Best guess is that one of the old M855/SS109 rounds in my ammo can did it. That's the only thing that was different really. Usually it's just IMI and Federal 223. |

Has anyone done any side-by-side testing of new Black Hills Mk262 vs their re-manufactured stuff? I can't imagine there being a big difference but I haven't seen many reviews on the reman stuff.

Had to add a mole skin pad because the original camo wrap was ripping out my beard.

The reman stuff is not 5.56 pressure. AFAIK. Unless they're doing a reman Mk262 now. But the different pressures between .223 and 5.56 may cause a difference in accuracy. Plus, I don't think the blue box has any primer or case neck sealant. That could cause some changes too. Don't know if you mean 1 might shoot better than the other or not. PLUS, this I'm not completely sure, but wasn't the Mk262 eventually changed to the Nosler 77 grain bullet? Maybe not. But it used to be that their Blue Box was the 77 grain Sierra bullet. |

I plan on taking it to a local foam place and seeing if I give them a prototype, they could replicate it, and how much it'd cost. Would be nice to be able to just have a few extra foam cut outs laying around! Especially if I can get it done for cheap. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, though. It would be the first cheap Mk12 thing I've encountered yet. :P |

I started my MOD 1 a while ago thinking hey I'll get the rail sooner or later but later never happened. I think it is pretty close but I deviated with the optic and mount. Now I am going to have to go with a set of 1.375 Rings to allow my PVS-22 to mount up. I was leaning to the x24 scope but opted for the x42 now I am really rethinking it.
I ordered the AEM5 so I will wait to paint her up.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure they've stuck with the Sierra bullet though. http://www.shootingtimes.com/ammo/special-forces-to-civilians-black-hills-mk-262-mod-1-review/ Anyways..... My guess is people would typically see better accuracy from blue box, because of all those differences. But since EVERY BARREL IS PREJUDICED, someone would just have to see for themselves. You know, I don't think I've ever bought Mk262 ever. And I think I might now...... Just for fun. Or for HD too. Although the TSX is probably the better choice for that now. Except that stuff goes like over a buck a round. Like 1.37 or something. And really, the cannelure and primer sealent and case neck sealant make MK262 a good choice. In case you are showering with your AR. You know, for the hardcore AR peeps. 
Another interesting article on an even different load from Black Hills, the 77 grain TMK. A tipped bullet..... But not mk262. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/06/09/black-hills-77-grain-tipped-matchking-precision-5-56mm-ammo/ |

I really like the SOPMOD stock, but decided to go old school on my Mk12. In fact, I started off my Mk12 project intending to build a Mod 0. I got the NoDak A1 receiver and used as many surplus M16A1 parts as I could, like the trigger guard, the stock, buffer tube, mag catch, the springs and pins - basically, everything that wasn't NFA regulated. I also got a Geissele trigger. Then, at some point, I fell in love with the Mod 1. I thought about building the upper but really liked what I saw and read about the HCS upper. So, I ordered an upper from Kevin. I am extremely happy with it. I decided to keep the A1 stock, and I really like the feel of it. I will be getting a SOPMOD stock for my Mk18 build, so I can enjoy both the classic and the more modern stock experience with these two clones. |

I just use two lamps with the nice daylight white/blue bulbs and try to get uniform light, get a tripod, and use the aperture setting. Manually set ISO to 100 or 200 so it does a long exposure but keeps the quality high. I had some poster paper down but you can still obviously see the washing machine and concrete where I didn't have enough. Oh, and in the Nikon RAW exposure tool thing I mess with the white balance and the contrast/levels. There's a tool to select a white point and black point I use those and find the lightest whit spot on the histogram. It helps a lot. Then fidget with white balance to get the right temperature so the paint has the right khaki/grey tone to it instead of an orange tint. |
