Mod 0 with Gen I PRI tube and I believe the first front flip sight that actually infringed on the French patent. http://globaltactical.com/_img.upload/spr%20actual.jpg Um... |

I took my mod0 out to shoot some today. My bolt rifle was just there as a spotting scope.
This is off my deck, I can only get about 200 yds to the far edge of that clearing. There is a 3x4 ft target stand out by the far trees.

Here is pic from Black Rifle II. This is the Crane photo of the muzzle and peel washer used. Zoom in on the muzzle. I know there is peel washer used but I can't tell if it's just the peel washer or used with a crush washer. I edited with a better close up.

I don't know for sure, but I thought they used a spacer/shim and a crush washer.

The thread protector is longer than the threads and hangs off the back of the muzzle break, covering the crush washer, so it may give the appearance of a peel washer? I know mine does. I'll try to get a pic up soon.

Ok, I'm officially building a mod 1. I have followed musky jerks original thread and this one since 2009. I have no plans for a can so mine will just have a birdcage a2 similar to freefalle7s clone.
I have: BCM upper Knights ff RAS long Knights black front RAS flip up Knights 600m rear Low profile gas block Lower with two stage and a2 stock Springfield black leather m1917 sling Knights non-QD sling adapter Knights bipod adapter Harris 6-9 bipod I have no barrel :( I'm thinking of using a BCM 20" m16 barrel with the fsb removed for the time being, but it will be 20" and have one visible fsb drill hole where the gas block doesn't cover it

I just saw an 18" WOA SPR barrel in the EE for $230 or so. You've got an excellent list of parts there - why not build your Mod1 with the correct length barrel? And I honestly would use the OPS brake and collar even if you're not planning on running a can at the moment. The muzzle device is one of the most integral parts to a Mk12 and it really ties the whole build together. Just my $0.02 worth. |

When turning a Douglas blank into "an SPR 18" profile with ops Inc shelf and white oak profile" automatically means rifle length gas and threads for the FH right? Or should I call to make sure :/
To my knowledge the SPR profile is never non threaded or anything other than rifle length gas right? |

The "shelf" is a little step in the profile of the barrel where the OPS collar nestles up against; you can't slide the collar any further down the barrel. So yeah, they'll profile the step, plumb it for rifle-length gas system and set the crown and threads for the flash hider. They know what you're building. |

I'm in the process of building a Mod 0 style rifle, and have a question concerning the upper. With the sleeve on top, is it possible to use a Troy rear sight? I'm not a spec junkie, so I would prefer to use a Troy sight, but if arms is the only option then I guess I have no choice. From what I can see, it seems that there is a lip at the rear of the sleeve that fits over the sight, however I am not sure.
Thanks guys! |

I have two options for a stock. Basic A2 fixed stock, or adjustable LMT sopmod gen I. Problem is, with the sopmod, I have nowhere to mount the sling really, I would have to buy another KAC slin loop adapter for sopmods..
ETA: I want this built "to spec". Which stock is correct? I've looked for hours and have Not found any photos of the mod 1 in country with a sopmod stock |

You can buy a mountable sling socket for the Gen I but why not just go with the Gen II in the first place? This coming from a huge SOPMOD fan so YMMV. |

So I know this is probably going against everything the Mk12 is about, but are there any places to save on this thing? I plan to use a regular birdcage flash hider for now until I can get the ~$1100 for the brake/can. But what about other things such as the RIS, BUIS, and barrel? Any companies that make a similiar/equivalent rifle length FF RIS? Or a different barrel that offers similar accuracy but a little less?

Fine by me because I wouldn't trade a SOPMOD for anything - certainly not a fixed rifle stock. Something to consider: folks who have the LMT MWS in 308 seem to feel the SOPMOD stock is not ideal for this application. The release lever on the bottom seems to get accidentally depressed when shooting off sandbags or prone possition, causing the stock to telescope in and collapse from the recoil. Haven't ever heard of it in a 5.56 platform, but it seems to be quite an annoyance in the 308 platform. |

5th SFGA started around 96-97 on the SPR project and then the other SOF elements joined in with there projects they were working on. Orginally stood for Special Purpose Reciever and not Rifle as it was just a match upper for the M4A1 at the time.

Yeup, that's the info I was looking for, and figured. My mk12 will hav the standard a2 and I will move my black sopmod to my other block clone For what it's worth, I tried hooking my SBR lower, with SOPMOD, to my Mk12. It just didn't feel as comfortable as the A2 that I built it with. |

What would be more appropriate; a newer mr/t 2.5-8 non illum or a three year old 3-9 mr/t illum

I've looked for hours and have Not found any photos of the mod 1 in country with a sopmod stock If you want "spec"; forget the sopmod or any other collapsible stock. Never came out of Crane that way.

SPR's have slowly upgraded as parts became available, or something else already out there was simply more durable. Like the versa-pod change to a Harris BRM-S, or the 3-9x36 mildot illuminated M3 to the 2.5-8x36 TMR illuminated M2, or the Nightforce with NF rings for the newer Navy clones, and the use of old gray A1 lowers vs. black ones today... |

Well I'm building a mod 1. Was a 3-9 ever used on a mod 1? I'm sure one has...
Has the glass changed at all from the 3-9 to the 2.5-8? |

The 3-9 MR/T was around before the MOD I so I would say it had to be used on the early ones.
What we need is Bigbore in here. He is a pretty good subject matter expert. Who has, or had?, a beautiful MOD I clone that I would have to say is the closest to a real one anybody here has owned thus far. But his was early MOD1, with a real A1 lower, and two-tone like the one I posted above. And I believe it had an 3-9 MR/T as well... ETA: Btw, settling on an MOD I, you still need to decide...early/late and army-usmc-usaf/navy seal. |

My barrel is being turned tomorrow and my upper is being assembled Monday! You call the Leupold custom shop and order them. If you say you need an "M2 calibrated for 77gr 5.56mm" you should get an SPR one. But I would double check and maybe also tell them what you are attempting to build. Their custom shop is pretty accommodating. And being in WA, I got mine in one day. |
