I can't stay away any longer. It's time for another Mk12 in the safe.
I've had a type D Colt A1 stock sitting in the parts bin since it got booted off this rifle in favor of the CAR stock and knew it would one day grow into a Mk12 of some flavor. 
With the unavailability of original Mod 0/SPR parts I had shelved the idea but I told myself if I could find a Swan sleeve of any kind I'd build one. I found one for the Gen III tube so I'm going with a late Mod 0 clone in 6.5 Grendel to go with the Mod H 6.5 I have now, plus Engineer5 gave me a heads up that BA is making Grendel barrels in the correct profile. Lancecriminal86 posted a good collection of pics on pg.422 of Mod 0s with Gen III PRI handguards and Type D stocks. Does anyone know if there have been additional pictures posted since then? I wanted to rob the 3.5-10x LR/T off the Mod H but it looks like all the pics have the 2.5-8x/3-9x MR/T, I think the late Mod 0s came out at the same time as the Mod 1 and I don't those ended up with any 3.5-10x scopes either. Is braceman still doing lower engraving and reprofiling? I'd like this to look the part as much as possible without going overboard and would like to get another lower done at the same time for the Mod H. |

So the quest for the perfect clone is never ending. I had two early #40's with wingless logos a while ago, one with the a2 aperture and one with the horizon line aperture. I sold off the horizon line aperture bc I thought the a2 was the correct one. When I got my operator manual from Samson, I began reading and I came across the parts list and it listed the horizon line as the issued sight.....so that had to be rectified....

I don't know what nodak costs but if you go tactical machining and send it to him for roughly 200.00 you'll end up with a reprofiled and engraved lower. Mine are freaking amazing.
