Branching off from the normal Recce Rifle Thread for just legit clones. These have the most varying setups of all the clones, I believe. There is no hard data listed for every piece of equipment on these rifles. Only ITW photo's and some small lists of procurement from NSW. I have outlined the parts used most commonly but there are plenty of versions that are not covered in this list. The ITW one off photos of an already one off setup can be cloned using the parts visible in the photo!

There are 5 major types of these clones. All are built on Colt receivers except the 416 variant. Details are below

CLONES:

Because Ryan Reynolds likes clones.

About time! I'm in.....

Does mine qualify..

Ohh yea!

Damnit. I forgot yours in my pic dump!

A .mil recce clone thread? I have no problem with this. Nothing wrong with trying to zero in on how the military defines this setup.

I thought you put him up to this.

lol, nah. I don't even have a gun to post in here.

I can be in Wilmington in 2 hours with a hacksaw.

No worries man! Ive thought about starting this thread for about a year, but I wasn't happy with anything I had until now

You better get on it

Might be something in the near future, who knows...

This is the thread I have been waiting for!

Ok sounds good, mine I used to have...

Good timing, I was just thinking about this earlier today and wondering if a mil specific recce thread existed. Thanks.

What’s the appropriate gas system - wiki says carbine. Can anyone comment?

Appropriate is carbine, carbine is known to be in use, I know people use mid-gas on clones bc it is better, I don't know if it has been seen in use by the mil.

Aren't half of these just mk12s?

From what I've gathered from the limited info out there, the recce was an idea floating around with a few being built before the mk12 program was instituted. When the mk12 program was on full swing the recce was placed on the back burner. When the mod 1 rifles started seeing use by NSW, they supposedly weren't the happiest with the mod 1setup. So then the recce was pulled back out again, most of which being built by team armors out of parts available. So it would make sense that mod 1's were at some point used as donors. But there doesn't seem to be a solid parts list to follow. Most appear to have been built on request by the operator using parts and configurations requested by each individual.

16" mk12s is what it looks like

Ok guys help me.... I’m trying to get as close to a seal Recce as possible. With a leupy mk4 2.5-8, which Mount would you go with, Larue SPR 1.5 or ARMS #22M???

I'd say ARMS. Kinda goes hand in hand with the Leupold. NF has more options as seen. ETA: on a side note, 234 days currently for a form 1 on a Colt lower. Until then I can't participate lol.

Between those options, I would go with the Larue. If you want a.r.m.s rings, you have to find nls's. Then you are $200+ into a set of rings that really are garbage. Even if they are tight when you get them, they will loosen over time not to mention you have to lap the hell out of them.

This plus 5000

I just had my card ran by the ATF for my AEM5 so it’ll be a while for me also. However, my barrel should be back from ADCO anyday now. I’m sure J will let me blast his a few times before my AEM5 gets approved.

Yeah I'm around the 200 day mark for my AEM5 as well. I did my barrel through ADCO too, look's great but the waiting is killing me lol. That'll be a plus though.

Where are you guys finding your KAC 12” rails?

ETA: and how bad would I get shunned for using Larue 12” rails if I can’t find a set of KAC rails?

Sign up for a notification at operations parts. They also pop up in the EE from time to time.

They have 14 in stock for $350. Guess I’m not eating a full meal this week....

Food is temporary but cloneyness is forever.

I like it!  BUIS optional.

Attaboy.

It's cool, it's called the clone diet

I already posted this in another thread, but I figured over here would help as well.  They don't come up very often.

Can I get the barrel length on the rifle in that last pic?

Scroll through the RECCE thread usnguns and MTxtwelve have had to awsner quite a few times on it. Pretty sure you can tell ADCO and they will handle it but it is SBR length.

It's 15", the step has to be moved rearward to accommodate the 1" chop. Doing this allows the taper to sit in a position that allows the aem5 to sit flush with the long ff ras.

15.1 supposedly. Just send to adco and explain what you want. I did. Should be back any day now.

I couldn't remember if it was 15" even or 15.1", 15.1" sounds right though.

On another note, my dual switch remote just came in. Now I'm down to needing a peq-15 and a knurled aem5.

Thanks guys! Might have to come back to this post and ETA some pics in the distant future.
