Or drill it out taking the threads out with it and install a helicoil to repair the block. |

I tried using one of those damaged screw extractors, but it wouldn't extract. Before I'd drill try this hack. Don't scoff, should work. Mix a bit of graphite powder and krazy glue and dab that in the screw head then poke the allen wrench in and let it set. Before trying to unscrew it, I'd torch a little heat on it, just a bit, to loosen possible loktite, and then try to back it out. Google the graphite and krazy glue tricks, they're awesome and they have worked for me. |

Apologies if it’s been asked before but with how a lot of options have become unobtainium since this thread’s inception, what are some of the more attainable (and more affordable) clone-correct options for optic and mount for the Mod H? I finally managed to snag a Mod H Pri upper and though I know it’s not 100% correct I still want to put together a good build as the Mk12 had been a bucket list gun of mine for years and I feel I’m getting close to making that dream a reality finally.
Thank you for the input. |

Thank you for the input. Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40's are all over the place it seems. That with NFA110 or NFA107 depending on whether you're running a recce rail or not would be pretty easy and relatively affordable to procure. Likely about half what you'd pay to go the Mark 5 route. ETA: If you want the real deal Premiere FFP version or the original Vari-X III that was used on the OG SPR, then yea those are more. But mark 4 3.5-10 non-illum's pop up fairly regularly for around $1K-ish. |

Hey guy's I'm looking to get my HCS Mk12 barrel milled for a Mod0 setscrew gasblock/front sight. I had ADCO do it before but they no longer will do it. My money is no good at PRI because it's not their barrel, said they can't be liable, whatever that means. Any ideas? I have an Email into d.wilson. but I think I've asked them before and was told they didn't offer that service.

OK, I just finished reading this thread from cover to cover, and wow lots of great information! I wrote all of my questions down and along the way found most of them were answered one by one.
The MOST frustrating thing about reading this was NOT being able to see any pictures from the first half of the thread due to pics being removed from their image hosting. I started buying parts as early as 2002 but didn’t seriously consider converting my MK12 “inspired” SPR to a clone until last year. I am thankful to have purchased certain parts early, but now realize I have missed out on so many deals and opportunities like a Pelican Case group buy, reproduced Mod 0/1 manuals, 2 bore guide group buys, hard to find ARMS parts / Leupold scopes that were much more plentiful when I started. I did just recently get one of Stoner63’s TAS-1 replica slings, Thank you to Mr. A! Anyways I’m finally approaching a finished rifle and feel like I have a post-worthy picture; here is the progress on my Late Mod 0. The rifle itself is as clone correct as it can be AFAIK, but definitely not period correct, and I still have to get my barrel KG coated before I finish assembly. My AEM-5 has been ordered from Thoroughbred Armament and is awaiting Form 3 approval, so for the meantime I will use my Form1 can on a FCD KM12 brake. Any other suggestions will be appreciated!  Still need help locating the following parts: *A.R.M.S. TRR/ TRC *Older style KMW Pod Loc *2002-2003 ish PRI M84 Gasbuster CH, not sure which variation I need; My Gen 3 PRI forend was 2002 Build list: *Allen Engineering SPR Long Collar *Allen Engineering AEMB *A.R.M.S. #38 SPR-PEQ 2-3 Swan Sleeve (Wingless) *A.R.M.S. #40 Stand Alone Flip-Up Rear Sight (Wingless) *A.R.M.S. #22M Lever-Stop Rings *Colt A1 Type E Trapdoor stock *Colt M4 C-marked Upper, Cerro Forge, Teardrop Forward Assist *Colt M-16 Bolt Carrier Group *Douglas/ PRI 18" MK12 barrel *Geissele SSA Trigger *Harrington & Richardson M16A1 Retro Lower Receiver (PSA) *Harris S-BRM Bipod *Knight's Armament Swivel Mount Assembly *Knight's Armament MWS Bipod Adapter *PRI Gen III Rifle Length Forend *PRI Flip-Up Set-Screw Front Sight *PRI M84 Gas Buster Charging Handle - Military Big Latch |
