I am almost finished putting together a Mod 0. It won't be perfect, but it's what I can do for the time being. I have a BFG mount and thought it might not get me kicked out of here until I can find one of the above. Thanks again. |

Just so I'm clear, before I place an order.
Will the NF A108 (1.265") rings clear a NF 2.5-10x24 over the top of the standard KAC rear iron sight found on a MK12 Mod 1 upper? Or in order to clear the rear sight, is it necessary to go to the next size up which is an A110 (1.375")? |

View Quote Dave, the A110 at 1.375" height-to-center will keep things as low-profile as possible while still clearing a KAC BUIS. At least with regard to the NF 2.5-10x24 and running any sort of rear lens cover. To put the clearance in perspective, that set up will not clear a SCAR BUIS. The SCAR BUIS is only slightly higher than the KAC BUIS. Enough to make the difference though. You don't want to go any lower than the A110. |

I know its not the correct suppressor (its on order) and I'd like to have the shorter bipod (the upper came with this one). The concern I have is the optic mount. The optic came in an LT104, which in one way is convenient. It allowed me to assess the height I prefer the optic to be set at for one and for another, it helped me establish what sort of eye relief I'll need. The A1 stock I fitted forces the optic to be a bit close to my face, so the mount compensates for that well by pulling it forward. The consequence is that I can't see a way where I can use "correct" rings, Nightforce or otherwise, to get the scope in a position far enough forward to attain reasonable eye relief. And that leaves me with a choice to make I suppose. Do I stick with it as it is, and simply use a mount that isn't "correct"? Or do I swap to an A2 stock and grab correct rings and *hope* that gives me enough eye relief to make it a useful package? Is there another practical solution? Here's the gun as it's currently configured. Waiting on grip panels and a KAC broomhandle to be delivered tomorrow. https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5712/31328785196_d549251d6d_b.jpg View Quote Essentially for me the A1 and proper rings just don't work. I had to switch to an A2 to get decent eye relief with the correct scope and rings. I ran the LT104 for a few months while sourcing the correct rings, and it sure does make things easier :). However to go correct if the A1 isn't working for you then your options are switch to A2, or switch to SOPMOD collapsible. Or, if you really want to play it loose, the LT104 is in the wild correct apparently, if you want to go down that road. Or switch to ARMS 36 and use lower height rings. Lastly you can bridge the gap with rings, and really get yelled at. But there are several images of this also occurring in the wild, but it's frowned upon. Personally for me, the MK12 Mod1 just doesn't look right without ARMS rings and TS30 :) which is why I ditched the LT104. But it took me better part of a year to find the correct no-hump 22h's... more testing of the medial library :). |

When that can threads on and centers against the shoulder of the collar, it's always right where it should be. Flawless design even if it's not "quick". |

I'm at a bit of a crossroads here with my Mod 0 upper... I'm at a point where making it any more 'correct' would take the following parts:
1. Genuine wheeled FSB (and have barrel milled for flats) 2. Genuine early PRi foreend 3. Genuine early A.R.M.S. rings Honestly, the only one I'd probably ever bother with is the wheeled FSB as the other details don't bother me... unfortunately, that'd also probably run me $500+ including the barrel machine work. The other concern is that I don't really care much about the lower - I've got my one registered lower set up exactly how I want it, and I'm not about to change it to impress people online (which is why I don't really post pictures in clone threads, for the most part). So at this point, I'm considering selling off the Mod 0 upper sans-optics and suppressor, and building a Mod H given the availability of the parts, marginally lower weight, etc. I think the biggest thing holding me back is concerns over accuracy (given the Mk 262 load was designed around an 18" bbl) - maybe someone who's owned both could chime in with comparisons? |

This isn't bad (not mine), but it looks like it only works with the SOPMOD. http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/13694700_311643485847222_372400920_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTI5MzQ5MTg5ODMzMzQ5NTU4Nw%3D%3D.2 View Quote I'm pretty sure we see the LT-104 in a lot of pics on Mod 1's. Not something I've seen on a Mod 0 I don't think. IMHO, even an A2 will be pushing it for prone shooting. But as I said before, depends on neck length and if you're wearing a vest or thick jacket. An A1 is 5/8" shorter than an A2. You could cut up a 5/8" in block of wood or something and see if it makes a difference. Traditional rings just put that scope back really far. I agree it looks better, and I GUESS it's more clone correct. But I swear there have been pics of LT-104's on guns being used. Hasn't there? I think they use it on the Mod H. Or there is always this option, but prepare to bend over and get a reaming from everyone if you go that route. I still kind of want to try it on my recce. But I noticed my rail feels a tiny bit canted in comparison to my receiver, so it might be a bad idea in general. They Mod 0 and Mod h builds had it right. With the scout rail. I've seen it on a Mod 1 also. Which in the end, that's what I'd recommend doing, if you don't want to stick with the LT-104: Scout rail on Mod 1 woot woot: ETA: I just realized I just said everything 78staff did. Sorry about that. |

I guess I'm using the wrong term. PRI calls it a Recce Rail.
prireccerail But that one on the Mod 1 I posted looks like something different. But not the same as the one on the Mod 0. That one seems longer and thicker..... Is it the ARMS 36 you were talking about? I don't know if the PRI recce rail would work on a non PRI FF handgaurd. That one picture might be how you'd have to do it on a Mod 1, but i have no clue what it is. I'm guessing some kind of ARMS rail. |
