Apparently the Mk4 he had was trash. Said he had to rezero every time he got back to base and it eventually fell apart.

Originally Posted By USMC_FMJ:
Has anyone here had their AEM5 Knurled after they have received it? I know Allen has been contacted before about this but he'll only do it during the manufacturing process. The reason is because some times the tubes get destroyed during knurling. He uses a mandrel to maintain the proper ID during the knurling process. Once the tube is sealed up, he is no longer able to properly knurl the OD. I believe he told me it was a $20 option upon request of a new can order but that's going off memory (and I already have my can). I also asked for a brief history of the knurling on military Ops cans and the best answer I got was that some cans got knurled, others didn't, and it was just done without being requested. There are tools that can do this, or rather, there are tool designs that can knurl a finished product safely, but they rarely look as clean as the knurling you'll want, and are better suited to a straight knurl. If you wanna see what one of these three roller tools looks like, you can track down a USMC armorers tool for knurling the op-rod guide block barrel land on M14s - I've used one of these and while they work for tightening up loose tolerances... the results aren't pretty. The actual USMC tool won't work on the can, but it will give you the basic design of a tool should you want to manufacture something. |

You guys are amazing, so much info in this thread.
It's good to know that the knurling can be an option on a new can. It was my impression that not all of them had received it in production from talks with some of the older old timers. I wonder if different types of knurling appeared on some of the cans? |

My 12th Model OPS look just like Dan's in the photo above, but I have seen another identical appearing one with .223 on it.
The lack of POI shift on my 16" is amazing, while on the SPR 18" Krieger I get almost exactly 1/2 MOA straight down to 6 O'Clock.. On the 18" Douglas it seems it was another 1/8 MOA straight down, but I'd have to shoot it to confirm it. Pretty minimal, especially when you zero the weapon with the OPS mounted. All said, I wish I'd bought more but they weren't available (My FFL got the last examples) and I actually bought a SpecWar 2 for my SBRs. |

Got to put the 22M rings back on the Loopy for the SPR in place of the #35 mount with track mount rings which I tried for the PVS-22 |

Only 2 types of knurling: 1. Perfect knurling in the eyes of Ron Allen (usually first couple of tubes he gets out from his blanks), and then there's 2. Knurling that makes Ron Allen cringe.

Does anyone have a short collar they are willing to part with for cheap. I know that a few have replaced them for the longer collars and the short ones are sitting around and I'll have a good home for it. My bride is graduating from nursing school in December and I've acquired everything but the can, brake, collar and a scope. She doesn't care about clone correct she likes shooting mine. Let me know if you've got one you want to part with.

I don't think I've posted a picture of my MK12 Mod 0 clone on the site before
Colt Upper, A.R.M.S. #38 SPR-PEQ-2-3 Sleeve Contract barrel from Monty PRI folding FSB, set-screw, ADCO cut the flats for it Running a Youngs National match bolt carrier The OPS INC can came from Kevin at HCS Running a 40L at the rear instead of the standard 40 Just an old Rock River Lower, the lower is actually one of the first the Larson brothers made, serial number 17** Geissele SSA-E for a trigger (KAC is ok but not my thing) BAD lever and an Ergo grip, to be honest I only have two AR's and a work gun, and they all have the same trigger, bad lever and grip. As for accuracy, the rifle really shines at distance, imho. Actually shot one prs style match with the rifle with some MK262 and gave a few people a run for their money, although the furthest target was only 800. Pictured with my NXS 2.5-10x24, mildot, 1/4 moa turrets, nvd settings and no hump ARMS 22's, TS-30A2 is sitting in the box, yes it probably suits the rifle better as she is, but I like the NXS. I apologize for the Atlas, it was convenient to use and as for the paint job, well I let my boys try their hand with Aervoe paint

As for accuracy, the rifle really shines at distance, imho. Actually shot one prs style match with the rifle with some MK262 and gave a few people a run for their money, although the furthest target was only 800. Pictured with my NXS 2.5-10x24, mildot, 1/4 moa turrets, nvd settings and no hump ARMS 22's, TS-30A2 is sitting in the box, yes it probably suits the rifle better as she is, but I like the NXS. I apologize for the Atlas, it was convenient to use and as for the paint job, well I let my boys try their hand with Aervoe paint http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/ohearchai/IMG_5940_zpss62ookrw.jpg Good shit.

Does anyone have a short collar they are willing to part with for cheap. I know that a few have replaced them for the longer collars and the short ones are sitting around and I'll have a good home for it. My bride is graduating from nursing school in December and I've acquired everything but the can, brake, collar and a scope. She doesn't care about clone correct she likes shooting mine. Let me know if you've got one you want to part with. Dan http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y508/agr1279/image.jpg1_zpsud7q4qkz.jpg Edited for pic add to page ownership. If you give me a long one, I'll give you a short one. Wait....

So without going all the way through the thread, hopefully someone can answer this.
As I understand it, the most common lower receiver MK12 Mod 1s were built on was the M16A1? If so, assuming it was government marked, are all M16A1s like that also marked "Colt AR15", with M16A1 marked below that? I can't seem to find a US gov marked lower in a pic without "AR15" if it's an M16A1. What's the real deal on lowers? Like given unlimited money, for like a transferable for instance, what's the absolute correct lower? |
