For all you rattle canners out there, what is a color close to coyote brown like the lmt fde, magpul, or b5 stocks? Sand is a tad too bright for my taste and earth is a tad dark. Rustoleum camo colors were used. |

The eyebox is touchy but I think people make it out to be a bigger deal than it really is.
I'll often be firing 2-3 scoped guns at the range and completely forget about the x24's eyebox. As long as you're consistent with your cheek weld/head placement on the stock, you rarely have to shift around to get a clear sight picture. I love mine and still can't believe how bright/detailed the image is for a 24mm objective. |

Only complaint I have with my x24 after using it is low light, it's darker compared too my vortex razor at 6x. 4x and above in darker conditions, forget it. Otherwise, didn't even have to adjust mine out of the box, 1 turret click and it was 100% at 100 yards with my mod 1, no switching it up now

The 24x has the appeal of it's history along with its size and weight. The biggest downfall of the optic is its low light capabilities or lack thereof. It simply sucks in low light conditions and is rendered almost unusable at anything more than 4x under those conditions. One would have to assume that this is why NF offered it in two bigger objective seizes later on. I sold my last one a few years back and while I almost picked up another one recently for a Mod 1 build I decided to spend half as much and go with the Mk4 instead.

What would the correct RDS (if any?) be for a Mk12Mod1?
I see the Mod0 has the Doctor in the Wilcox ring mount and I'm assuming that's what the ARMS ring rail is for; did they completely do away with a RDS for the Mod1, or what would be the correct setup(s)? |

Bore guides came yesterday. I have to go pick them up from the post office today. The Ballistic cards are done. I also got my barrel from CLE. Seems pretty cool. I won't know how it really looks until I put the upper back together. Now all I need is a set screw fsgb to correct the late mod 0.

Probably just me but they seem bigger than I expected. I'll try one in an upper. The inside diameter of the tip that goes into the extension is about 5.5 mm which is as close as I can read anyway. I guess just for some reason I look at it as it should fit inside a barrel which would be stupid but I think that's what makes me feel like they are too big.

@Samson - hey brother I'm throwing this at you bc you have been all on fabbing things lately. But about our set screw delema, do you think we could have braceman take a gen 3 set screw fsb and mill the face down to where the "PRI USA" engraving is gone and then have him engrave the proper markings with the full address and then have your coatings guy re-anodize the tower? I've got a pic of the markings on the newer tower and Pri is selling set screw fsb's for the gen 3 still. If I'm gonna pull the barrel to get flats milled I want to get the proper tower installed....cause it's not gonna be fun pulling it apart again. Let me know what you think? It may be more work than it's worth but if we can get enough people maybe we can do a group buy on parts and/or labor.

I don't see why not. It couldn't hurt to ask. I'm in on that for sure. So basically all that needs to be done is the face of the tower milled smooth then engraved with the proper marks? No other mods? I can email him and see what he thinks. He has done some amazing retro parts I never knew he did. Things we don't use here but I know he has done exactly what we are discussing on barrels for the retro guys. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Samson-Dogg:

The bore guides fit good. They fit a little tighter in some uppers than others. Granted they are dry and so are the uppers. I'm running them up to anodize tomorrow on my lunch break. Already set that up.

I've just completed my MK12 Mod0 SPR build and now of course I'm looking for some ammo. My barrel is a Ballistic Advantage 18" .223 Wylde SPR Stainless Steel Rifle Length AR 15 Barrel w/ Ops 12, Premium Series
Ballistic Advantage 18" SPR Barrel By the way, I managed to get this Barrel for $168.00 When it was on sale during Christmas. Based on my research it looks like 5.56mm 77gr NATO is the way to go cost wise over .223 which seems to be more expensive however since my barrel is a .223 Wylde barrel I'm thinking that .223 match ammo is the way to go even through it cost more. So I'm putting it out there as to what should I choose as the right ammo. I'm looking at some Fiocchi 223 REM 77 GR MATCHKING HPBT or some Federal FC262 Rifle Ammo 223 Remington/5.56 NATO 77 GR Open Tip Match (Case, 200 Total Rounds) I know that a Wylde Chamber barrel can use both .223 and 5.56mm but for the sake of optimum accuracy and compatibility should I go with .223 or 5.56mm? What would you recommend? Oh and by the way here are some pictures of my MK12 Mod0 build. PWS Lower reciever Aero Precision upper reciever Ballistic Advantage 18" .223 Wylde SPR Stainless Steel Rifle Length AR 15 Barrel w/ Ops 12, Premium Series Precision Reflex AR15 SPR Straight Top Rail Precision Reflex GenIII Round Free Float Forearm Mission First Tactical BUS Stock with BACP ops inc mk12 mod 1 threaded muzzle brake and collar Harris Bipod Ergo Pistol Grip A.R.M.S. #40 Rear BUIS PRI Flip Up Front Sight with Nikon M223 3x12SF Scope with BDC reticle AD-RECON Scope Mount
