The stiller actions are cool but now include a built in scope base so they won't work with the MARS.

As far as extraction goes two piece PTG bolt will allow for proper cam-ing.

It shouldn't. it will obscure part of the UID label.
The Mk13 Stiller action comes with a scope base. I would personally use that over the MARS.

I wish I could swing 1600 for one. Just not in the cards right now. Maybe later I can upgrade.

Oh fuck $1600 for the action?? Maybe I will stick with a Trued 700 lol. And in theory a base built into the action would be more accurate than adding one....but I already bought the rail so yea. If anyone here wants to trade a MARS for a MIRS...lemme know

Their Tac 300 action is basically the same and a little cheaper.

I believe the only difference is the type of finish, aside from the markings obviously.

The scope base on the Stiller isn't integral.

Probably.  Not sure though.  Its all relative.  700 actions are often modified by having those holes opened up to a larger size.  This gives you stronger screws and allows the holes to be perfectly alligned with the centerline of the action.  In some builds, the smith may pin the base to the receiver for added strength.  This is pretty standard on clone actions.  Mausingfields are keyed to the receiver.  Stillers are pinned.  Surgeons are 1 piece.

I wouldn't pay 1600 for one.  I didn't pay that for mine.  If you wanted a stiller, the tac 300 is the exact same action minus the markings.

Yea I called two days ago and that mk13 action is 1575.00 before extras or shipping

Does anyone have any leads on a Remington RACS chassis (short action/ LW)? I've been scouring the inter webs for a while, even reached out to Remington Defense- but alas, no answer.

Thanks in advance!

They are out/ back-ordered...

Got my fuckin holes drilled out (lmfao) and tapped for 8-40, and mounted the mars rail. Added significant height, and maxed out my elevation knob as far down as it can go, and still ano inch high at 100. (With my M118LR clone rounds, mk316 mod0 clone using 4064 is dead on) My groups were stringing vertically pretty hard, not sure if it's cause of the rail or not, will try again in a few days. Either way, probably better to have the thicker screws even for when I go back to a 2 piece mount.

So wasn't sure if an M24 with just the MARS rail was a thing without being an A2. According to this pic, I'm gtg lol

So question, is there a muzzle device for the mod5? I'm really not a fan of the Narwall penis shaped barrel, and I don't see myself ever getting a mk11 can.  Wandering if there was ever a variation that had a break or flash hider. I've seen builds with the Knights M110 flashhider to use with that can. If I were to use any can, it would probably be a 30cal AEM, so I can use it on my 308's. Here's a pic of an M24 with the Ops barrel contour, just without the collar and break on.

If you want to clone the .mil MK13 Mod 5, the answer is no.

But I could be wrong...

I'm the only person that built a Mk13 with the M110 can.

Yea, I was looking at your rifle before and after paint not realizing it was the same rifle. Damn it. Guess it is not clone correct.

What kind of groups are the guys with the M24 buy backs from Remington getting?? My duty 24 shoots around 3/4" @100yds, and my build gets sub 1/2" 5 shot groups. Just curious

Those of you with MK13 Mod 7's, what size case are you rockin'?

Also, can anyone recommend a good, affordable range finder?

Thanks

I barely done paying off my M24 and I'm already drooling over an M40 clone...

That's how I feel about the mk13 mod5 right now. What kind of groups are you getting out of yours. It's factory right?

I guess I'll be the second.

Mod 5 with Stiller action 

All this "m110 can on a mk13" is beta talk

At least I got M110 can

/leeroyjenkins

To be honest, I haven't really tested the accuracy yet, but plan on it very soon.

I went to break in my barrel today ( my own modified break in ). After 25 rounds, I started firing my hand loads.
175 SMK's using RL-15, start load at 40.3 grain to 42.5 grain...





The second target also has a 178AMAX loaded with 40.6 IMR4064 and 168AMAX with 41.6 IMR4064 ( loads for my 308AR and my other 700P ).



This is what the 42.5 grain did, It may be a fluke so I am going to re-shoot it again ( I was going to hand load at the range but I brought the wrong powder ). The target was posted on top of another target and I can actually see a little spread of the 3 rounds.




The next part is to get a chrono, and I am hoping the groupings on the 42.5 is not a fluke.

...Woah...

I know, I am thinking its a fluke...I myself at the range was thinking like, there's no way...
I was even thinking that I missed or my scope came loose, until I saw the target behind it.
I don't plan on going to the range today, but I really want to re-shoot the load.
Even if it opens up a little bit I will be very happy...

I only get conjugal visits with mine

Looks like it was a fluke LOL...

I shot the same load earlier and the best I could do was a clover leaf. Its not that bad but it was a windy day and I was using assorted brass.

That's awesome! Great Shooting! If you haven't gotten any over pressure signs as of yet with your charges, try 43.1gr of RL15 with SMK 175gr. It's the Military M118LR charge, and my go-to for both my 308s. Had to find something they both liked so I can load a bunch and stock up without worrying about which ammo goes to which rifle. With Winchester Primers and LC brass, I'm getting over 2550 FPS out of my M24 clone with Rock Creek 5R 1:11.27 twist with no over pressure signs. Should be sufficient to reach out distance. Will find out eventually.
3 shot group @100

5 shot at 100yds. Measured .260 yet to shoot a 1/4" 5 shot group with this rifle. Or any rifle really lol.

It was not showing signs of over pressure...I wanted to start loading higher while at the range but I brought the wrong powder with me yesterday.  
I will try and start loading some starting from 42.5 and I will do in .2 increments and see where it takes me...thanks, I didn't know the charge on the M118's.

Yea man, supposedly 43.1 RL15. I pulled a few from work apart and got different weights, but that's what people say. Could just be hear-say, but both my rigs seem to enjoy it. I compared a few different primers before making a bulk purchase. 10 shots from 4 different companies. All same charge and bullet weight. Winchester WLR had the lowest BC and got higher MV. Fyi

Cool...thanks bro, I will try and load some for  the next range trip.

Anyone know if the rattle canned one to the right of the mk11 can is legit, or is this yours again Dan. REALLLLY don't want that stupid contour. Trying to find a mod5 with any sort of break on it.

No idea.

Could be rebuilds without Mk11 can, as installing a Surefire is so much easier and available.

Doesn't exist.  The Mod 2, however, was threaded for a muzzle device.

I figured a Mod 2 would be similar the Mod 0, which I do not believe had a suppressor.

This is all I could find:

Seems like Mod 3 and Mod 4 are basically the same, and Mod 5  and 6 are also basically the same. The only difference being right hand vs left hand actions.

Good find! Thanks guys! Mod2 it is!

I assumed that the Mod 2 uses a McMillan A2 stock.
There is also a custom L shaped recoil lug for those in McMillan stocks.

I actually got to hold mine Saturday.

Here is the MK13 Mod 2.  I think that the Army Rangers were the only ones to use it.  The Mod 2 is similar to the Mod 5 with OD Green skins and scope is NF 5.5-20x50.  It also has some type of muzzle device on the end of it.  I have one picture that shows it but it isn't a good pic.  If I can find it I will post it.  In the meantime here are some pics of the Mod 2.  

Oh shit man! That's awesome! Thanks. So that pic I posted could be of wild 13's! I doubted it because I didn't think they came in OD

You will not find such a thing for a Mod 5. The Mk11 can is not compatible with a brake. You might find a picture of a Mk13 with a brake on it - but it's not what you'd consider a Mod 5 - possibly on something Crane just referred to as ".300 win mag" - before the Mk13 designation was given to the platform - or on an earlier Mod 1 or Mod 2 in the list Dan has listed above.

Here is a pic of what the Mod 5 barrel looks like to accept the KAC MK11 suppressor.  There is no brake for it just contouring the barrel to accept the suppressor.  None of the other Mods have a brake on them.  Not even the one that Chris Kyle used which I think is a Mod 3.   The only Mod that has a brake on it is the Mod 7 to accept the Surefire suppressor.  But I have not seen a Mod 7 without a suppressor.  

Mod 7 does not have a brake....it's actually a .30 cal Surefire 4-prong.

Thanks I didn't know that.  Like I said I have never seen a Mod 7 without a suppressor so I wasn't for sure.

Wonder why they went with a FH over a brake? Interesting.

on ebay you can get a used Majestic  gear driven head for tripod these heads have a crank on the back that allows very precise movement up and down,  once swivled correctly right and left it can be locked in by tightening down the tension.  These are large and heavy but very precise adjustments up and down.
