FF RAS can be had for $350, but you're more likely to pay $400.
99051 front sight is $185 new, more if you want them in Taupe.
Rear sight isn't nearly as bad, thankfully.
You can save a little bit of money on the upper receiver by going with an Anderson/Aero.
Correct scope rings are another $200, you can save $100 if you want the almost correct lever stop version.
Optics will obviously add on more.
Suppressor is another $900.
SSA/SSAE is $200.
SOPMOD LMT is $150, but you can save about half by going with a B5. A2 can be cheaper, A1 for clone correct and non adjustable.
Lower for $40
LPK for another $40.
Bipod is $90
BCG is $100 or so.

Then you'll be well on your way.

That is a smokin' deal on that barrel. Thanks for sharing the code!!

I've heard Anderson receivers are sometimes sub-par, it that not the case? I was considering going Aero for my upper, considering my lower is Aero.

As far as optics and mounts go, I just bought a Vortex Strike Eagle and an ADM QD mount, so I will be getting good use out of those before I'm back in the market for a Leupold.

I love A1/A2 stocks, so I'm keeping my A2 for now. When I want to go clone I'll get the A1, and when I want to go thuper thecret thquirrel I'll grab a SOPMOD

I've already got an Aero M-16 BCG. Will the Colt be any different, other than clone accuracy?

I will be happy with what I'm getting for a little while, but I definitely want to grab a bipod, SSAE trigger, and sling system sooner than later.

Speaking of slings, what's the consensus here on sling systems (considering I'm running an A2 stock right now)? Looking at both historical photos and clone photos on this thread, it seems using a QD end plate or a wrap-around-stock system (I can't find the real name) are both popular methods.

My rifle currently has an Anderson lower with an A2 and it works as it should. HOWEVER, I will be swapping it with an A1 style lower shortly for maximum clone correctness.

This thread really does get in your head when building a MK12.

Not too bad.  Like noted above, you can do a little better on the barrel.  Also, you can probably score a colt upper for $150.  Make sure that low profile gas block is the correct M12 (DD/Badger Ord). It's visible on the Mod 1, so use the correct one.  $100 seems low for a KAC BUIS, make sure its the correct model 98474, not the micro.

Happy to help out and always happy to steer someone's else's money when it's Mk12 related. :P I've never heard quality problems in regards to Anderson lowers/uppers. Barrels, sure, but most uppers/lowers are made in about 4 forges, so the quality is usually pretty similar whether it's any of the major brands. The strike eagle is a great optic, but you'll definitely want to swap it out ASAP. Not a good fit with a Mk12, and I love my 1-6 SE.

The stock is really personal preference. I went sopmod because the cheek weld is infitely better with the correct scope rings, and I throw this thing in my truck, or cases, so the adjustability is a huge help for me. I run mine on an A5 buffer system, which runs smoother for the system, IMO.

BCG-wise, no one will give you a hard time about Aero BCGs. Aero BCGs are a little overpriced, IMO, but they do the same thing an Aim, or PSA do. I think a nice Colt/LMT/BCM is the way to go, but that's just because I've seen cheaper ones die after a few thousand rounds. Battlefield Vegas has BCGs with 20k on em, and none of em are the cheaper ones. But for what you're probably using it for, I don't think the Aero will give you any problems.

So . . .

I was about to jump on the barrel that you linked until I realized 2 things.

1: This barrel is a natural shiny finish. Although in the link they use a photo of a black finished barrel, you'll see down below in the description that the finish is bead blasted. I definitely need to find this barrel in Black or at least matte gray.
2: This barrel is chambered in .223 Wylde. I don't have anything against .223 Wylde, I just want to make sure this is the correct spec (the true clones are in 5.56, correct?)

That barrel is indeed a bead blast finish. It's a dull/matte silver finish. Easily fixed with some cans of the rattle variation.

If you're worried about spec, you shouldn't be buying the BA barrel. True spec is only obtainable from HCS, chambered specifically for Mk262 ammo and in the weird grey durakote finish.

223 Wylde is just optimized to run 556 and 223 equally well as opposed to it preferring one or the other. It'll shoot anything you put through it. Someone smarter than me can actually tell you what makes it different.

The true to spec Douglas will probably run you twice as much as the BA. Most people will tell you to get the $157 BA and throw an extra $3 into spray paint.

I was hoping you'd say as much about the .223 Wylde. I've always hear that it's supposed to run 5.56 and .223, but its just always sounded too good to be true! If it is the case, why isn't it an industry standard? I just wanted to run it by this group to get one more source that agrees that .223 Wylde is good to go (and no, I don't really care about it not being clone worthy. One day and many fat stacks from now I may care)

Is it a good idea to rattle can a barrel? Still being a noob to ARs, I figured it would melt off and get into threads or cause other issues. If this isn't the case then that'll save me on a cerakote job!

Once again, thanks so much to all of you guys. You've taken me from 0 to 100+ in about 3 days of help.

I promise to soon pay you back in profusely borderline tacticool-erotic Mk12 pics!

They already make fake (airsoft) 12th Model suppressors. King Arms OPS 12th Model Silencer for S.P.R. Flash Hider.

Have you shot with it though? Or is it just for pics and such? I'd be curious as to how it holds up. Obviously it wouldn't suppress crap, but if be paranoid I'd end up sending it down range because it's not made very stout.

It's not an industry standard because barrels chambered in 556 can handle 223 just fine. Someone just thought they could fix something that wasn't already broken. At least those are my thoughts. You won't hurt your 556 shooting 223, but a Wylde barrel isn't a bad thing, either. It'll shoot whatever you load into it, as long as that's 223/556.

Rattle canning a barrel should be fine unless you're doing mag dumps. I've heard some guys using grill paint that's graded for high heat, but I've seen guys just use regular and get away with it. Obviously, you want to mask off everything you want painted like the threads, receiver pin, gas port, etc. Either way, I probably wouldn't paint anything from the collar to the brake. That'll get exceptionally hot with the suppressor running on it. And it'll be covered up with the can, anyways. You can flip through a few pages and see guys who have painted it, and guys who have left it off. Cerakote will last longer, but many of us here don't baby our guns, so they'll get beat up either way. Rattle can is about 10x cheaper, and you can retouch it/change it up whenever you want/need.

I've never had grill paint set well or last.  Rust-oleum camo does well if it's a dry day and the parts are prepped well.   Hard to get sometimes here in Florida, though.

Was just checking out the Vickers Ar15 guide, have you guys ever seen this setup before on a mod 1? It's kind of a mut but I dig the red dot placement for a mod 1, much better than behind the turrets like in lone survivor.

The most distinctive paint work anywhere. I can pull up a whole page of mk12 images on google and spot yours no problem. No one else has that down like that.

Anyone else?

Guess I'll have to buy some 20's to try them out for myself. I hear the 20's make it easier to shoot prone, but I just always extended the bipod legs out more when using 30rd mags. Never seemed to be a problem for me...

20s for bench/prone work, for sure. With the bipod down, you'll give your neck/upper back a bit more of a break. Won't affect you're shooting, but you'll feel it once you get home.

Has anyone heard of or used Ram Precision Ammo? They had MK262 loads (pretty sure the box said factory new ammo) for about 25 bucks. Didn't want to get any until I got an opinion. They're based just outside of Wichita, KS and from what I understand, and only sell at gun shows.

I'm a HUGE fan of 20-round mags, especially for precision guns. In fact, I don't think I've ever shot my Mod1 without a 20-round mag.

I would be interested in one, possibly two depending on the price.

I used to see it all the time at the wichita and collisium shows. I have not used any of his match ammo. But didn't have any problems with just regular plinking ammo from him. Locally, I haven't heard anything bad about it.

Thanks! That price really has me chomping at the bit. I think I'll pick up a box and run it through my beater to see how it functions.

Hey, unstabl. I pulled the trigger on that brake and collar offer you shared. Good spot man! You saved me at least 20 bucks, probably more with that awesome shipping deal, and the hassle of research I've never done business with Capitol Armory, but I'll have to keep them in mind now!

20's.

I always liked them for range use/plinking and Mk12 use.

30's for SHTF.

Getting back into the Mk12 game and wondering if the Mk4 FDE is appropriate? I don't believe I have seen one mounted in the wild.Attachment Attached File


Optics Planet has a good deal with 10% off right now. Or stick with the more traditional Mk4 ?
