Just got this from Leupold. Ordered it back in December. Called again in February and they sent this out. Part #112635 and it is a standard part. Not from the custom shop.http://<a href=http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg537/ontheline1/P3100021.jpg</a>" /> Cost 30 bucks. I second a side profile shot... preferably on the optic. Don't own a Leupy Mk4 yet myself but from what I understand... you replace the very top turret cap with this? So you still have the 1/2 moa adjustments but you can just look at the top turret cap for close 100 yard increment adjustments?? |

Swapping Leupold turrets is like erasing the numbers off a ruler and writing in new ones. |

I'd just have to add a quarter inch (the objective to Swan Sleeve gap distance; keep in mind the gap is actually a tick over 0.25", but I can't accurately measure it to that precision) twice (once for radius, twice for diameter) giving me an absolute maximum external objective diameter of 2.332". The external objective diameter of the NXS is 2.321" which should leave me with about 0.01" of clearance. Another option I've considered is removing the PEQ rail section - I'm waiting to hear the length dimensions and if the length of the NXS would place the objective in that removable section. Or you know, there's nothing wrong with chopping a SPR PEQ 2-3, right?

So whats the best way to get a mk12 upper? Build or buy? I priced out parts for a holland clone and it came out cheaper than places like BCM (Mod 0), so it seems like building is the best option? But I'm not an expert obviously.

If you scour the EE you can pick up pieces for your build here and there, that would be the cheaper route to go. If you don't want to wait you can contact Kevin at High Caliber Sales, he'll build you one (depending on parts availability). |

If I were to build it myself it would be a mod H kind of build with a 16" and no top rail. I'd love to find a used handguard and a few others like that to save some cash, I'll keep an eye out on the EE and I might check out High Caliber Sales. Thanks! |

Ifsofacto keep the leupy)  Post your set up now so at least we can at least say you were once clone correct. |

Noooooooo! How's that?! Sounds like you need a spotting scope, or a bigger bullet, or a Mod 1.... The scope will probably touch. If not at rest, while the chassis is flexing during firing. Extreme temp changes and variances in parts could push it either way with .01". Stick with the leupy and get you a decent spotting scope, or... Have another excuse to build another MK12!! Mod1s look like any other AR though, soooooo basic. Like a white chick at Starbucks basic. And Hollands aren't even Mk12s, so get that idea out of your head right now! Lol For shits and giggles, I called ARMS to see if they had a spare removable Picatinny rail section for a #38 SPR PEQ 2/3 and they did not. However, they had a set of non lever stop high rings which I grabbed, so I'm trying to decide how dorky that'd look... The highs on the Swan Sleeve... I might pull the removable rail section to see if a machinist can reproduce one out of aluminum so I can file down for additional clearance with the medium rings. That shits gonna be really, really high. M's on a swan sleeve are slightly higher than what I personally prefer, can't imagine H's. On an unrelated note if you want to part with those H's to fund some M's I'll be your huckleberry

Some nice Hollies being posted. I'm pretty bummed I traded some extra gun parts including my GenIII tube towards M24 parts. All well, to many AR's anyways. Had some of that good-good leftover from taking the M24 and M110 out at work the other day, so wanted to chrono and see how it grouped out of my 308 mk12 mod1. Was actually pretty pissed, considering I put all this time and money into reloading, then I shoot a group like this with factory ammo. I'm waiting to get some mk262 in to see how that runs through my 556 mod1. Oh, and btw....FN M4's are replacing our Colts. Ambi selectors, H2 buffa's, nicer triggaz....just FYI for the vets. |

Well I finally got my upper back, they had to remove a little paint and heat it up, but got it switched out in the end. I'll paint it once I get a little time and a sunny day.

I've had to use a grinding wheel to cut one off and the Mod 1s GB has taken plenty of beatings to instal and remove. I've even spent an hour with a sanding block and Dremel to "try" and get a better fit. |
