I personally don't see how anyone gets down on a 1.273 height. Unless it's on a scout rail or riser. That's freaking low. My Larue is 1.4 and that's almost pretty much too low for me. Don't want to go any lower. 1.5 seems perfect. I guess everyones face is built different but my cheekbones have to be embedded into that stock at anything lower than 1.4. I'd have to sand down the stock or just use the extension with a cap on the end. LOL.
Crap, top of page....... 
Are these the 1.273's you think? Seems looooooow.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: I really think they are the same rings as on a MK11 Mod 0. I agree. We just need to figure out which PN is correct though ...95 or ...96? One of those numbers has to be a typo. Then tracking down a pair of long discontinued KAC rings. That’s the only SR25 I really want.  Me too.  Sadly it's not in the cards right now. It would be nice to have the big brother to my MK12 Mod1. |

Well, cat's out of the bag I guess. I had hoped I'd already have them lined up.
If they aren't the 1.4" ones then maaayybbeee there were limited runs of actual 1.5" rings. I was awaiting news from Jack Leuba on the issue, but I fear he's either swamped or forgot. I'm the last guy that can immediately run out into a bidding war on rare KAC rings so it's kind of a bummer, I've got this thing so close but it will be a while before I have the dough to even think about tracking a set down, nevermind a 300m rear and Colt BCG. |

Received my barrel from CLE for my flush fit SEAL Recce. Unfortunately, there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the end of the can and end of the rail. Wondering if I can get a custom collar made for it to be flush, or if I'm SOL.

Stick a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle on a closed bolt. See what length you get to the muzzle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: Unfortunately not. If you set the can back any further than 1/16” your muzzle device will hit the first baffle. Mine was about 1/8 off from sitting flush. So I got Ron to cut me a 1/16 further set back collar. If you were to go a full 1/8 you would need to have the shoulder set back or run just a shim on the brake and have the extra barrel threads sticking out cut off. I’d send it back to frank and say you want everything shifted back. Stick a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle on a closed bolt. See what length you get to the muzzle. ETA: The collar is also a bitch to install. I tapped it with a brass punch to make sure it was seated all the way. Not sure if its just my collar or the shelf. I did send in the collar, as well as the rail, so they could design the barrel around that. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cdholmes: Looks like approximately 15.375". For my MK18 Mini Recce, I marked on the collar where the can sits. I forgot to do it on this one, but told Frank to just go 15.1" since that's the common measurement I've found in this thread. I may try to contact them and see what they can do.

Side note, so I finally took the Recce out to Frontline yesterday and stretched it to 550 no problem. Upon getting back when undoing the AEM5 I realized my dumbass didn't rocksett my OPS Brake. How in the world do I get the brake back out?

The Horrigan MRE goes bang!
Didn't really end up getting to do groups though, still have some work too but she shoots and is at least zero'd for 65 yards. I think with the KAC rings and a Mildot swap she's going to be a great shooter. Also needs a better trigger. MRE hanging out with the "SPR aka 5th Group Recce aka Holland" and the 12.5" mini Recce.
