I wanted to post a couple update pictures of my Mod 0 I’m working on. With the help from Hunterex with the front sight ‘🙏’ thank you! I had the Gen 1 full address wheeled on there before and it looked sorely out of place. I’m working on the sling setup so I have a temporary set up on there for now. I imagine the correct scope will take awhile. I really like the 10x on there now the little bit extra magnification helps.
Thanks to all on this thread for the knowledge and info! More to come. PS I see that $2000 + scope in the EE but I saw when he first posted the sale he said he was posting it to cash in on all the crazy prices this stuff is going for. He has changed it a couple times. I can’t say I would pay $2150 for Mk4 2.5-8 with lever stop rings. I hope it's not coming to that  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryLooking great! Definitely a beautiful build and congrats!! ETA: That 10x is a wonderful stand in and those are great scopes. Since we get to see pics I dont think my eyes could handle seeing you swap that 10x out for a 2.5.8, especially if it's a 112633. The issued scope from Crane woulda been the 3-9 Leupold anyway. Certainly everyone's eyes are different but I just love those 10x. Plus the 112633's are hideous  . Not that I have a vote, but if I did it would be to keep that 3.5-10 on there. Congrats again on an awesome build.

No that's my mistake, 3-9x36 (TS-30). I can't keep them all straight. I thought they also used the TS-30A2 (not 112633)? Also I wouldn't put a 112633 on there. Hell, I used to like mine on my Mod1, now not so much seeing all those old, clean illumination humps.
 Yeah I got the scope on the EE here I'm really happy with it. Nice and clear, lenses are perfect. I want to say it's from 2010 if I remember correctly. |

You got it, issued from Crane on late mod 0 was TS30A2 3-9x36. Commercial marked would work also. I packed mine away in the safe as I bought another 3.5-10 to run - just really like that scope. Plus, they just look right at home on a MK12.  Attached File |

Figured I would post this up. I'm hoping its the right sling. I took a chance and ordered a TAS sling from Army and Outdoors in New Zealand. It made it here no trouble in less than a week. It looked like it was too narrow at first, it's 1" webbing and It came in the factory packaging and is in fact a TAS-AK sling. It did not come with the buttstock adapter like I had hoped, but it didn't say it would. I was hoping I'd get lucky. I'm still not sure if this is the same as the TAS-1, It looks narrower compared to some of the pictures here.
So, this was $60 total, figured I'd give it a shot, now if anyone has an extra buttstock adapter they would part with lol!  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryTAS-1 slings are 1-inch width. Just FYI. Yours looks about right but may want to measure it just to confirm. I seem to recall that TAS AK is the same sling just doesn't have all the same adapters that come with the M4/M16 version.

The only adapter that was in the package was the front black piece for the UM swivel. All the green webbing is 1". Thank you for confirming the webbing width

Once I had gotten the pics I wanted, Texas decided to have a real winter and kinda ruined my plan, lol. Supposed to be warm this weekend finally. I had painted my mod 0 previously but wound up stripping back down to black again. Citristrip really makes quick work of the paint. Though I doubt I'll repaint my late mod 0. But the mod 1 and H are def gonna get it  |

Good evening, Cloner Gods
 Have a questions ref A1 repro lowers for my late Mod 0 build. Is this BRN-16A1 about as close as you can get to the real deal? I seem to recall the NODAK A1 receivers being spoken of as the bees knees on this or another forum, but can't remember where exactly I read that and if it still holds true. Also wondering if the Brownells offering is the same or sorta kinda not really. BRN-16A1 Worth swapping bits over from my PSA Stealth to one of these to get a few more things looking correct, or a waste of time since it isn't even close to the real A1 anyway? Gracias |

Though, with NDS being bought by PSAs parent company and moving to SC to become H&R, I'd wager that things will dry up for a little bit on their end. Another alternative is Russian Paint, though they are sold out of everything. Outside of that, you could find someone that can reprofile an A2 lower to A1 spec, then get it grey anodized. |

Anyone know if Braceman still does re-profiling? His work is excellent with lots of examples all over Arfcom. Also, weren't the Brownell's A1 lower blank forgings provided by Nodak? @towerofpower94 I would grab a black one as there likely won't be any grey ones anytime soon. Brownells states they are no longer deliverable by the factory. With Nodak being bought up it's plausible that even more black ones may not be around for a while. |

In that case, I'd def snag a black one @towerofpower94 . While the A1's used were grey, some (Colt in particular) were very dark. All kinds of shades of grey with blue/purple/black hues out there. Obviously, if you plan on painting it becomes a non-issue, but even if not, there's pics of GM and Colt A1's used on MK12's that look black (even if they technically were not). At any rate, I think a black BRN A1 suits your build much better than any A2/M4 lower. Pic for reference borrowed from a Lancecriminal86 post...  Attached File |

Finally getting around to swapping out the gas block on my mod 1 for the original surplus one I picked up. Changing out the short collar for the long collar as well. Glad no one kicked me out of the thread for having the wrong collar on there when I first posted...I'll have to post some updated pics when it's done.
Picked up a couple other cool pieces as well. Most excited about this one.  Also snagged an NOS 2006 dated Uncle Mike's KAC sling mount, among other things. Perfect for my late mod 1 build. Getting close, just need to find one of those SR-15/16 Titusville 99167 rails with the smaller text...and maybe a first gen ergo grip, a first gen KMW pod-loc, and the correct charging handle...guess I still have a ways to go after all |

Looking magnificent. Docter and Insight MRDS is what you seek for maximum clone points. Maybe JPoint as those were seen on NSW Recce rifles so possible they were picked up and used on a MK12 as well. But no RDS was issued in the kit so was really whatever the operator snagged off something else or personal/unit purchase. Throw the Burris on there and enjoy and some day if you snag a Insight or Docter then swap it out and cash in those clone points

Is the LT-124 what I seek to mount the PEQ on the 3 o’clock rail? It has a QD lever now, but wasn’t sure if that was correct for the early-mid 2000s |

However, I am staying at a Holiday Inn Express tonight, so my guess is that the LT-124 would be the correct QD mount as Navy EOD was using them in the mid-2000's. But prob better to hear it from someone like Hunterex for MK12 specifics on that one. |

Here’s the part to which I’m referring, BTW LT-124 ETA: and what about lens covers? Butler Creeks GTG? Thinking that’ll be the easiest way to go the painted route and I like lens caps/covers for keeping dust and shit out during storage or when not actively using a rifle. |

I'm gonna give y'all the opportunity to laugh at me, beware it's very not clone correct so roast me as I may deserve.
My dilemma, in as short terms as I can describe I ordered this upper: Upper With these two for a scope mount: Mount rings And this optic because I really wanted a nightforce and this one had the magnification and features I wanted: optic Problem is this, the diameter of the scope at the end is too big I'm relatively certain and wont mount with the mount I picked without the scope hitting the flat top rail on the upper. With that scope mount and the height of the PRI flat top rail the centerline scope height should be pretty solid, just with a scope that doesn't have quite the girth lol I hate my life |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Markius-Fox: That scope will have about 0.09" (2.48mm) of clearance from the rail with that mount and ring combination. How did you come to that conclusion? The diameter of the exit housing on that scope is 2.5" and according to my math I'll be short about 1.27mm |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bosif347: How did you come to that conclusion? The diameter of the exit housing on that scope is 2.5" and according to my math I'll be short about 1.27mm I did my math wrong. Doing the numbers again and it shows the scope will be too large by 2.032mm. Height from base to center of scope rings: 1.2" (30.48mm) Scope bell radius: 1.28" (32.512mm) Subtracting the ring height from the bell radius leaves 0.08" (2.032mm) of scope still in the way. Ergo, the scope is too large, like you said. My prior comment is edited accordingly to be disregarded. |

I ended up emailing eurooptic and they refunded for the scope, I'm still thinking nightforce but the 3-10x42 is missing the parallax adjustment so maybe I'll shop around. |

Anyone buy one of ringers foams that’s interested in a new old stock 2004 dated pelican 1700? Has all of those 2004 features (obviously) if you want to replace a newer production (gross) one. Also in its original 2004 pelican white box with labels etc. Email/IM me, I’ll setup an EE ad. Cheers!

Those of you running NF 3-15 on your mod 1's, what's your thoughts on it? Notice much change in weight, maneuverability, etc? Thinking of picking one up. I have a NF 2.5-10x24 on my mod 1 currently and am considering giving the 3-15 a try for the extra magnification.
If you've got any pics you can post for inspiration that'd be greatly appreciated as well. TIA! |

  It’s got some gravity to it no doubt. My only optic for the Mk12 so nothing to compare, I had mounted it on other guns and it adds a lot. Only gripe I have is my choice in reticle the H58 main stadia lines are kinda fat at 15 power. May want to keep in mind the length of you plan on running clip on or other rain mounted accessories. 3.5-15 is great, low enough to get up close if needed and plenty to really get a clean picture at range. Speaking of clean picture the glass is crystal clear on mine. |
