Looking through a lot of pictures of MK12 rifles making me want to get one.
Would like to get a factory assembled upper, but don't know much about the specs.

I did a bit of research and I prefer the look of the Mod 0, so I would like to focus in on a Mod 0 upper.
Seems like BCM and PRI assembled MK12 Mod 0 uppers are the 2 most commonly talked about.

PRI seems to be on par with the BCM and it is about $200 cheaper, is there something I missed?
Which one of these two brands do you guys recommend?

Is there any issues with the Mod0 setup I need to know about?
How durable is the Mod0's carbon fiber tubular HG?

HCS, PRI, and BCM are all GTG. Just depends on how clone correct you wanna get and how much you want to spend, but any of those three will suit you well.





As for the durability of the PRI GenIII; you won't be breaking it by hand.

Well, just checked the price on the HCS Mod0 upper, and it is definitely out of my price range....

Goose, do you know who made the bolt carrier and bolt for the PRI upper?
Do you mind posting some close up pics of the upper?

There are going to be no "low budget items" when it comes to making this clone.  I had a HCS Mod 1 upper that was a tack driver with just a ACOG 4x32 on it until I could come up with the proper $ to do the correct scope, and then the suppressor.  But, I had a daughter who was getting married at the time, and suppressor waits are close to a year, and I finally said no way will I ever be able to complete.  Put it on here and it sold within 1 day of listing.  Better have deep pockets lined with $ or you might want to rethink getting into it.  I just hit some bumps in the road and deceided to go another way with a MK 18 clone.  HCS is good stuff by the way.  Hope this helps!

Is that a PRI?

Due to budget concerns, PRI seems like the only way to go now...
To be honest with you guys, I won't be shooting further than 300yards due to range availability, and what really got me interested in a Mk12 Mod0 is the looks.

  Yep.

To be honest, it isn't any cheaper than the HCS when you put it all together.

Please educate me about the difference between the PRI $1500 Upper and the $2250 HCS Upper.
I know the difference on the HCS would be the carrier by Young, FN bolt, also the addition of a Harris bipod, but other components seems like it doesn't really matter, and are mostly PRI already.

To a noob like me, the only main difference is the bipod.... is it worth $500-750 difference?

PRI is Precision Reflex Inc. They manufactured some of the Mod 0 components.

I love my HCS Mod1. It's been point and click accurate since I first zeroed her...

If only shooting out to 300 yards.  Pri will be more than adequate

HCS and don't look back. Kevin is awesome and he'll take care of you. Also, the guy that build them for him actually used to build them at Crane. You can't really get any more legit than HCS.

In terms of quality, my HCS Mod1 is almost boringly accurate and consistent. really a fantastic upper, and money well spent. I'm actually selling some Noveske barrels because I don't need them any more with this thing.  (And that hurts to say because I'm an admitted Noveske whore)
