I see it, I think it's a Mk13 barrel actually. I threw SMGLee's pics in for good measure. As y'all read it and notice missing pics, feel free to repost them. I'd like to preserve as much as possible. When it's good and tidied up, I'm tempted to slap it on r/Firearms or somewhere with lots of coverage in hopes of finding more folks with personal pics. I'm thinking it's possible more SF folks over the years would be willing to let some more pics out if they're not active anymore. Also want to offer face cropping or isolating the rifle if needed. |

This is possibly a dumb question but bare with me.
Newly weds, money's tight, so while I save for the correct optic, I'd like to use one I have in the time being. Will a Trijicon 3-9x40 fit on a Mod-0 with med ARMS scope rings? Or will the larger objective prevent it from mounting? (I dont have the med ARMS mounts yet to try) Thanks |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lancecriminal86: Random thing I happened on while digging up higher res pics. Back on Pg. 340, user Stukas87 had posted a photo of himself with an early SPR along with a CPT Fiscus (RIP). I remember SWM or someone pointing out that he was a user here when I reposted it, but just now went back over the actual initial post and saw the context. Even more intriguing is that he states he was using an M4A1 lower in the pic. He also expressed that the A2 was too long hence the use of an M4 lower, and that other guys were doing the same. While I'm curious if he mixed A2 for A1, I'm even more so if that's further proof from back in 2014 that M4A1 lowers were being used. The rifle is canted so there's no visible way to prove it's an M4 lower, or if it was meant that the carbine extension was swapped on request. I'd just as soon takes his word though that it is indeed an M4 lower. And with that PVS-17 on there, I guess the loss of match trigger for NV capability wouldn't be such a huge issue for that specific use. |

Snagged the rear for my Mod 1 upper off the Equipment Exchange. Just gotta sit back and wait for everything to show up. Hopefully my next day off I'll be wrenching everything together. Been waiting a long time for this. Wanted to build a Mod 1 since the middle of 2011, when I first noticed HCS-built uppers on Snipershide. I was on a mostly precision bolt-gun kick but seeing MK12 and SPR-influenced builds got my attention, and I started looking at precision-oriented gas guns. Got this crazy idea I should start a Mod 1 parts box late last year and here we are... Who has some decent deals on 69 and/or 77gr SMK loads? (Not just necessarily BHA, already have some of that to run through this upper.) Edit: Because picture thread.

I'm getting closer and it's starting to come together. Some parts are just stand-in until I can get more correct stuff. Pic is next to my A4 clone.
Started from a 6920 receiver set and BCG. Geissele SSA-E Got in on the Ballistic Advantage black friday sale and snagged a 600m rear on the EE. Both should be here by the end of this week. Have an old NF 2.5-10x24 with capped turrets and FC-2 that I can put on it. Debating between that and ordering a TS30A2 (112633). Any suggestions? |

Hey lancecriminal, I really enjoyed the album you've been putting together. 2 things: 1. A small FYI, the photo of the gentleman sitting on the HUMVEE bumper with the black HK hat is Master Sergeant Tony Yost, KIA in 2005. 2. I had no idea the Noveske Recon could not be profiled to fit the Ops/AE pieces for a Mod H. I have one sitting next to me here that I need to offload now and find another solution- that shit took the wind right out of my sails when I saw that in your caption!
Thanks again for the awesome picture compilation. |

Thanks again for the awesome picture compilation. Lets be sure on the Noveske barrel, I could be wrong! I'll update the gallery for MSGT Yost as well. I knew that unfortunately the subjects of some of these photos were indeed KIA. It's easy to forget sometimes that there are and were men behind these rifles. I want to make sure that's never lost in all this. I've wanted more personal stories to go with these rifles and pics, but when so many of the folks in these photos are in such a secretive business, it's hard to do. |

So let's say one was going to build a mk12 upper as a gift for their father and was looking for a barrel. I see ballistic advantage gets great reports, any others to steer towards? CLE has a few week delay right now.

Here's an example of the variances again: 
Both were WOA barrels to my knowledge, assembled in a close timeframe. And my barrel that is headed to Milspec is also a bit tight for a Badger block and didn't like my long collar either. |

I don't know which route to take on the Gen 1 here since the collar isn't flush. It doesn't help that I'm pretty much guaranteed to strip the set screw on the collar, or I'd try my Badger long collar. Hard to tell if it's a collar or barrel issue. |

How many lbs have you guys been tightening your Gen III handguards. I went to 45, and it seems like I need to tighten it down more, because the holes on the PEQ rail do no line up with the screw holes in the handguard.

Previously it was more like 60, this time I had to go above 80. One of those cheap wheeler vices with the gas tube fittment key is getting tempting. Another thing I considered, I wish the PRI wrench had a "spy" hole for a drill bit or key, so you could apply pressure and push. That way when the key was perfectly aligned it would slide in and you could stop torquing. |

(Never installed a PRI tube but I've installed a shit ton of barrel nuts) 2 Barrel nut installs ago I went to 95 ft lbs and still didn't get it lined up. I was pissed.
Ended up cutting that nut off with a dremel, then installed new barrel nut (made by the same company) and got it aligned at 47 ft lbs. Moral of the story, it will vary from person to person/part to part. |

Worked out good tho, because I need to figure out the scope cap dope chart when I get my glass. What program did you use to print this out Dan? I'm computer stupid, so I have no clue. Also have no clue how I would go about sizing it correctly. |

Must have followed their "torque and loosen" instructions for 20+ repetitions. Gave up and used auto valve lapping compound on the barrel nut/barrel extension shoulder. Just tightened/loosened to about 20lbs a couple times and was careful not to get it in the threads. It lined up perfectly at about 45lbs after that. Must have removed a tiny amount of material. |

That's excessive.
You have an upright belt sander? Put the upper to it and take off a few thousandths and try it again. |
