Scope is fine, black. Needs a long collar and SOPMOD stock, though.

Piecing together my Mod 1 right now, got almost all the hard stuff out of the way, now I'm nitpicking on the small stuff.
If I roll with a SOPMOD, does anyone know if there's a standard end/sling plate? I was gonna roll with a standard QD, but then I started thinking, and shortly after that, overthinking, and few beers later, fretting it. I know most M4s just sling through the CAR stock, but I was curious if there was typically a specific endplate guys used when they couldn't loop through the stock. Any help is much advanced. Here's hoping my CLE barrel gets in before schedule. Can't believe I found a KAC! I blame all of you guys/this thread for giving me a swift shove down the slippery slope that is Mk12 builds. Let's just hope I don't hate myself for rattlecanning over this KAC rail. |

https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/340785/IMG-1112-152829.JPG Man, that looks sharp. How are you enjoying that RDS up that high? Was contemplating one on a 45 degree on half of a Larue ring. On an unrelated note since I'm full of questions tonight. Does anyone know which Ops Inc/Allen Engineering collar is correct for the Mod 1. Is it the short or long? I know some combination of the mod 0 and a short/long can be problematic. I'm assuming the Mod 1 can run with either, but what's correct. Also, can anyone confirm that the AEM5 comes with a collar? I heard this and it sounded too good to be true, but if I can save $25, I'd be glad to once I get my paperwork in. |

If you do decide to ever do it I suggest you strip the lower all the way down, makes life easier and lets the parts dry so they don't rust.  Attached File |

Used to rock the sopmod when it was black and shared a lower with my other rifle. Definitely thinking about putting one back on it.

Had the same issue in October, just an empty box from ADCO with the brake/collar taped to the inside. I know you probably don't need this anymore a week later, but here's a (less crumpled ) PDF that Ron Allen sent me when I emailed AE if anyone wants it. Ron even offered to walk me through it over the phone.

Also, what mount yall using for the doctor on the trr? NF or Leupold scope? If you are going with a NF you could use NF rings too. As far as the LT-104, clone correct or not you know you will always feel a little ashamed and dirty for offending the Mk12 gods. Docter mounts are hard to find or stupid expensive. I am trying to find a 45* Matt Burkett mount for my holland and a low weaver or pic rail mount for a HK. LMT makes a set of mounts for $200+ and Docter has mounts listed on their website here not sure of availability because I can't find that weaver mount w/o wings anywhere. I believe most or all JPoint mounts fit as well. I think there is a el cheepo NC Star mount for it too(the one they used in the Lone Survivor movie) maybe you could get that to hold you over and/or see if you like the Dr up there. |
