So, something that’s been sort of bugging me about my Mk12 clone was the barrel.
I’ve been using a 20” Colt HBAR for the longest time, and since it produced great groups, I didn’t want to jinx it by chopping it to the clone correct length. I suppose I could have just bought the clone correct barrel, but then I’d have a Colt HBAR that would need a home. A buddy of mine gave me an Olympic Arms 20” HBAR about a year ago and it was sitting my A4 clone. 
Colt HBAR on top, Olympic barrel on the bottom. I decided to bring the Olympic barrel to the shop and have two inches chopped off. I then threw the Colt HBAR into an A4 clone build: 
Anyway, I just got the barrel back and slapped it all back together: 
There wasn’t any Parkerizing under the Olympic FSB, so I ended up just giving it a quick spurt of Tamiya flat black later on. 
Mounted with a crush washer. 
Looks a lot better (minus the different color black stripe around the barrel) 
With the fake can, for photos only: 
Before: 
After:
I think it looks a lot better with the correct length barrel. |

Yeah, I hope that barrel shoots as good as the Colt HBar. I have a spare Geissele, might drop it in this rifle soon. |

I sent my friend a txt (jokingly) telling him I found him some "inferior glass" (his words) for his Mod 0 last night. I woke up to a reply telling me to get it for him. I was shocked because he poopoo's old Leupold glass compared to cheaper options available these days. I hopped on to tell the guy I'd take it (wasn't sure if you were going to pounce or not) and saw someone else snagged it. |

So I still have A LOT of work to do on these. Small details and such.
Mount scopes on 3 uppers.... Change out lowers to A1's.. Swap some FSGB's... Move some rails around.... I'm trying to be as historically accurate as I can on these but something is always missing still. I can provide details of parts and historical info if anyone cares later. Oh and.....@Infidel4life11 and @Dobs013

As mentioned in the Holland thread, my cheap flash shit the bed last night before I could take a better pic than this, it has crap shadows and the packing tape I used for the case label reflected really bad. It looks like ass but this will have to hold you thirsty Clone THOTS off for a bit. Upgraded to Mk4 glass with the older style illum housing, now I need a knurled AEM5, Hydramatic markings, and an Accuracy Speaks trigger to make this fucker 100% to the armory pic I worked off of: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1770/41728140520_92bd5d064a_o.jpgMediocre Holland Pic by LanceCriminal86, on Flickr https://i.imgur.com/Oq7NGXn.jpg?1 |

Jeebus, those are all yours!? Honestly, I'm not really sure how I got here. Some would say the EE moved in with me. Others would say that I worked my ass off for everything I have and others would say I'm broke. Everyone is right.... ETA: oh and Ramen is totally worth it. They have more flavors these days.

So somewhere in the world some crazy dudes were talking and one says to the other "You know what would be the most bad ass shit ever? If someone were to acquire like 5 MK12s."
Then @5pt56 was like "Say no more FAM" |

Accuracy Speaks Trigger? What is this and how do you know that is what is in the 'H'? Also remember that in Black Rifle II it called out that both KAC and Accuracy Speaks FA Match triggers were tested. It would seem that when the Hollands were built they either reused some of the AS triggers or even bought a few more, because there had been issues with the KACs. |

Check that first pic again.....I count 8.
Technically 7. The 8th you're referring to which is the complete rifle at the front of the table is the NSW Recce.  It is a 16.1 inch barrel, 1-8 Douglas. Needs NF rings or mount still.
The real problem is I have an OG FSGB on a Gen III handguard and ARMS SPR top rail. I think I need to move that FSGB to the FDE upper that's sitting on the right side of the ground pic. And then put a PRI top rail on it which kills me a little inside to do but can't find the right top rail to match that generation upper.
