So, i want to get into the PRI game, but it appears that if i purchase the rifle tube, and the full rail, im looking at well over $400. Is this the price that everyone pays for this? i mean, its a plastic tube, correct? I stalk the EE non stop, and find nothing. Is there some back alley way all of you MK12'ers do it, or is that why your clones are so expensive? haha

I got my PRI handguard off EE for a lot less than buying new.  It's carbon fiber and aluminum.  Those top rails are quite spendy to.  I bought my rail from PRI so no deal there.  Just keep an eye on EE, they do come up.

That's a good sign.



The people that buy 'em, generally keep 'em.

LOL, its one of the reasons our clones are so expensive.  

When I put mine together, I bought several of the PRI parts from MidwayUSA using the coupon codes.  They were generally good for 10-15 percent off.

Which one is the Mk12 mod 0 tube?




ETA: Nevermind, I see it. LOL Fuck Midway, they're charging 20 dollars more than PRI's own website for the same thing.

It seems like they come in waves. Every once and a while they'll be 2 here and 2 there. Just be pantient, you'll find one on the EE. I found both of mine within 2 weeks IIRC.

OP, they are carbon fiber foreends.
You won't find one of those at any retail store.

The last 12" tube I bought was $360 from PRI so I don't know where you are seeing well over $400. Unless they changed it in the last 3 weeks. It's carbon fiber by the way.

True, but the point is they are all gtg.
Agreed.

With the PEQ rail as well, figure 330 from PRI for the tube, another 125 for the rail.

Thanks everyone, back to the EE...
