MOD 1 comes in at $3500 scoped and suppressed, but only the suppressor was retail priced
The Mod 0 gen 3, MOD O gen 2, and Second MOD 0 gen 2, are probably similar. MOD H is a little less due to better deal on the scope. The SAMR will come in at under $3000 complete, but I may bump the price with a G trigger, even though the spec is USGI M16A1 trigger/hammer ETA: frick, I just quasi added up those totals... ...I am not adding up the rest of the clones, nope.

Well that was a mistake adding my Mod 1 up that is almost complete. Just got the KAC rail two weeks ago of the EE. Still waiting on A1 lower from Brownells to be in stock to finish her up. $3,060 without the suppressor.

Too new for my taste... 
Here Is the scope that came in this day for me...kinda wish I would have got the second one also. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/64672/image-199768.JPG It is a 1995 date code but I might sneak it on a BHD Clone anyway...the '89 10x M3A seems kinda much even if correct on a 727. Or it may just spawn into an M24 as it was originally designed anyway. |

Speaking of rings, this may be a really dumb question...
Is there a trick to torquing the arms rings and keeping the scope level? Tightening the rings turns the scope. I criss-crossed back and forth with what screws I was tightening, barely giving them a turn before going back to the other side, and like clockwork the scope would turn slightly in the rings. I wound up torquing the shit out of one side to try to pull the scope level. There's got to be a better way. |

I place playing cards under the flat of the scope and between the upper reciever rail and tighten the screws moderately and add as many cards as I can. Keeps it nice and square when tightening it down star pattern.

Which stocks are late mod 0 more correct with then? I have all the parts above the sleeve so im curious on variations... I've been on the fence about building a MOD 0 in 6.5g to go with the holland or maybe switching the holland back to 5.56 but those pics of the A1 and GEN III may have pushed me over the edge. I'd still have to find an A.R.M.S. swan sleeve though, I want to leave that in the factory grey finish and skilcraft everything else.

Guys I need to post this again. Please be patient on the bore guides. As I mentioned I can get 7-8 out every two days and there are 70-75 of them. It's impossible to give out tracking numbers. It just takes away time that I could spend packing boxes. I get 8-10 emails on average from each person. I keep track of names,usernames,addresses,PayPal names in email and IM. I'm going as fast as I can. I promise they are coming. 8 went out yesterday and 8 go out tomorrow. I'm posting this because I don't want anyone to think I'm chewing their ass in an email I just need you to do the math and understand what's going on. 16 of these boxes fill my trunk. I think by Friday most everyone who has paid will have theirs on the way. There will be a few towards the end that get delayed till next week because I am going to my daughters college graduation but only a short delay. I get back Tuesday. Thank you for your patience.

Okay, I know the Mk12 was not issued with NV equipment but you see on here a few pictures of operators using a clip on NVD forward of the scope. Also pics of operators with laser devices. I also note a few of you have sprung for the AN/PEQ2 or 2A. So here are my questions: Since we're going back in time on our clones, is the AN/PEQ2A "clone correct" for that period...or are they're more recent pics with different laser devices. Second question: Which clip on NVD was commonly used? I think I saw a pic of one on a clone somewhere in this thread, but I'm not hunting back through 825 pp to find it. I know there are some very knowledgeable guys on this thread who know the answers, just as there are in the Retro forum.
