Stock kit lenses, no fancy flash. 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. |

Alright so the last piece of the puzzle currently is the lower receiver. I'm about to order some Nodak spud 80% lowers and was wondering some recommendations on a jig (never done it before). Seem's this is the way to go, brownell's is all cleaned out and they are going for $350 on Gunbroker
 . Also could anyone PM braceman's info for engraving, I have no idea how to find him.

Looking at the design of that one, wish I knew about it. I have the 80% arms heavy duty jig. It's super simple, effective, just takes a bit longer to work with. Plus i hate vacuuming out the metal on the inside while I'm drilling, takes time. It is the heaviest duty jig I have found though, no wear and I've done 4 lowers with it. Still can't figure out how to get the insides super smooth though eith the router bit. Got 10 lowers to send off for engraving. Any more news on sear pin engraving since a couple months ago?

Although Troy leaves the sear area filled with material and they put a "replica only" or something to that effect engraving on the lower and they are able to engrave the sear. Also when asked why Troy was able to do it the agent working the case wasn't sure and said he would look into that so I'm not sure if something came from that or not. |

How's the cheek feel -Gen 1 LMT SOPMOD: not bad. bottom isna lil sharp for your palm to hold in prone. its 1" longer than a CAR stock too. great cheeck weld and fine for run and gun. -CAR Colt N marked fiberlite stock (more MOD 0 correct but whatevs): looks cool. super light. upsets SPR balance because of no weight. short. CRAP cheeck weld and its a "slipery stock". ok for run and gun. -Vltor IMOD: feels amazing. SHORT. didnt feel bad in prone. has storage. might be a lil light with a can on the front for perfect balance. under $100 new. I have it on my CQBR and im gonna try it on the spr at the range soon. cheeck weld is a YES! Magpul ACS: ran this for awhile. longer and heavier with storage. LOOSE on buffer tube. lock needs tabs bent in to grab better. heavier. feels more SPR ish. good for prone. its a REALLY good feeling stock for about $69-95 used to new. Tan is clone correct. cheek weld is nice. Ace SOCOM M4 Gen 1: good balance. adjuster mech is SHIT. it WILL fail on you eventually. remwdy this by using a cut shell casing and swapping out the spring to make the stock adjustable for LOP, but fixed. the attatchment point to the lower comes loose over time. quick fix but annoying. in prone it feels GREAT. its been on my rifle since i found it last year online. cool factor: 11/10. its fine for run and gun stuff but i also dont come down on it like an M4 in the mud lol. cheek weld is decent with the foam actually! bottom of stock is really nice for a rear bag too. my top 3? -ACS -SOCOM -maybe VLTOR after i run it some will be 3rd :) hope that helps! and yes that is EVERY stock ever seen on a Mod H minus the PRS. |

I can't get passed the 1500.00 price tag for the ghost gunner. I believe the guy involved with those is due to be sentenced in federal court or has already and I missed what happened. I'll finish mine with the modulus arms jig and I'm not sure if I'll do anymore so I don't want to end up with a 1500.00 jig. As far as loaning it out I'm not sure how that works. Seems harmless but read about how the guy was charged. He was basically loaning them out at his shop. I don't know how they turned that into manufacturing a firearm but they did. It's a very cool machine just expensive and controversial. Someone here probably knows way more about this than I do can chime in with better details. I'd like to know myself more details.
Bore guides: the guides will be shipped to me this week and I plan to have them to the shop doing the anodizing by weeks end. They are going to come in around 38.00 shipped. I've recieved about 60 requests. I'm getting 80 of them just so people who may come up later can get one. As soon as I get a solid date of completion from the anodizing shop I will start collecting money. If you have bought manual from me in the past I have your address. The Ballistic cards are ready to be printed I'm just waiting on the round count log so I can have both done at the same time. It should be here Monday. I'm trying to plan this so I can ship everything at once. You'll recieve a nice little mk12 goodie box. I'll get the cost of the logs and cards when I turn them in to be printed. All of these items are being sold at cost and I'm trying to keep costs down just because it's a substantial amount of money anyway so if there ends up being a few days difference in when the items are finished I will be waiting to mail everything until it's all done. Not to mention addressing and mailing 60-70 envelopes is hard enough without making it double. |

I read an article that an under cover went into his shop. Bought 80% lowers then used one of several ghost gunner machines that were in the shop to finish them. Cody never touched the machine. Only instructed. The UC observed other customers doing the same thing. I'm not sure how that constitutes making a firearm if he only let them use the machine. Maybe because he charged money for it??? I have no clue. I'll try to link the article later. I didn't understand how he broke the law doing that. It never mentioned the 3D printer thing. I remember all that. This was a UC in his shop. From what I understand it was also a shop he had opened in California. That probably has a lot to do with it also.

its actually pretty easy to get some good results with the on board flash if you know how. try setting you built in flash to full power, then hold a white envelope in front of the flash at a 45 degree angle so it bounces the light above the camera and fills the room and doesn't hit the subject directly. its not ideal but you can achieve some pretty awesome results the way i mentioned cheaply. @RTUtah, good shit man. |

Ive tried these clone correct stocks: -Gen 1 LMT SOPMOD: not bad. bottom isna lil sharp for your palm to hold in prone. its 1" longer than a CAR stock too. great cheeck weld and fine for run and gun. -CAR Colt N marked fiberlite stock (more MOD 0 correct but whatevs): looks cool. super light. upsets SPR balance because of no weight. short. CRAP cheeck weld and its a "slipery stock". ok for run and gun. -Vltor IMOD: feels amazing. SHORT. didnt feel bad in prone. has storage. might be a lil light with a can on the front for perfect balance. under $100 new. I have it on my CQBR and im gonna try it on the spr at the range soon. cheeck weld is a YES! Magpul ACS: ran this for awhile. longer and heavier with storage. LOOSE on buffer tube. lock needs tabs bent in to grab better. heavier. feels more SPR ish. good for prone. its a REALLY good feeling stock for about $69-95 used to new. Tan is clone correct. cheek weld is nice. Ace SOCOM M4 Gen 1: good balance. adjuster mech is SHIT. it WILL fail on you eventually. remwdy this by using a cut shell casing and swapping out the spring to make the stock adjustable for LOP, but fixed. the attatchment point to the lower comes loose over time. quick fix but annoying. in prone it feels GREAT. its been on my rifle since i found it last year online. cool factor: 11/10. its fine for run and gun stuff but i also dont come down on it like an M4 in the mud lol. cheek weld is decent with the foam actually! bottom of stock is really nice for a rear bag too. my top 3? -ACS -SOCOM -maybe VLTOR after i run it some will be 3rd :) hope that helps! and yes that is EVERY stock ever seen on a Mod H minus the PRS. I have several Type D and Type E rifle stocks, an aluminum CAR stock, a Fiberite N type CAR stock, and a SOPMOD. I like the SOPMOD really well but am considering the ACS for a future project. How does the length of the Magpul ACS compare to the SOPMOD when mounted on the receiver extension? |

That's where mine's going. The LaRue mount seems simpler/lighter vs the whole Recce rail getup. It makes the most sense to me if you want the ultimate practical expression to copy that rifle. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lancecriminal86:

I agree. Just got my first LT-104 and didn't realize what I was missing. At some point I may have to build a proper Holland again, but as you said a while back - I'm having too much fun with that configuration currently. http://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59096/IMG-0920-158116.JPG ETA - I think I promised to keep this rifle out of this thread.

Is the same Otis cleaning kit used in the Mod 0 as the Mod 1?
