Well mine is still a work in progress but I'm getting there. The top rail is on the way, still need the ARMS #40, then a scope and mounts. Also running into an issue with the collar..I have one from my old build that I sold, but the set screw is stripped out. Was hoping I'd be able to get the screw replaced but I think the threads on the collar are buggered, too, and I can't even extract the screw. And of course no one has collars on stock right now
 . Guess I'll have to wait. In the meantime..I thought I knew the answer to this question but now I'm confused. I want the long collar for a Mod0, right?  ETA: I'll be going with a SOPMOD stock, I had just thrown this one together. |

Long collar for all three if doing a clone. If not doing a clone and wanting security in rotations on the 12th/AEM5, then short collar on a Mod 0. Collars went in to and out of stock so fast at ADCO it was mind boggling. |

Drill and tap the collar for a larger set screw. I did this with all of mine. Takes about five minutes. |

Since mine was on a Mod H, NF A203 (1.5") or A110 (1.375") are supposed to be correct IAW the Mod H page specs. Mod H page I'm tall and like taller rings so I don't have to lay my head sideways to look through scopes/sights, that's why it had the A203 rings. It gives me a little more "head up" and comfortable position. |

However, since my Mod 1 I would consider to be more legit than my Mod 0, I am willing to suffer if the "correct" rings are to be something different/shorter. |

Well if you're going for "as issued" clone correct, you're stuck with #22 highs. You could always do what most people do and find an "in the wild" pic of what you want and say "see, it did exist!"

Much like the NF 3.5-15 F1 being "correct" I cant tell via ITW pictures what the height of these rings would be, 1.5" seems too tall for the pictures I've seen with an x24.. i guess I'll run it this way until someone yells at me |

Not sure what you're getting at here. The x24 was considered an "issued" optic for Navy Mod 1s as NSW had contracts with Nightforce. It's more than just a scope being relocated from another weapon, or personal purchase. And more often than not they were supplied with Nightforce rings of some kind. In some cases other rings were used too.      I'm sure there's plenty more Mod 1/NF pics, I stopped tracking Mod 1s as hard a while back and have gotten lazy about grabbing pics, lazier even about putting them in the gallery. Also, the thread was never established for the "Crane Spec Only" crowd. Crane Supplied and clone-a-photo have always been equally regarded in these parts. It's the random mixmaster builds that get more scrutiny or ire. |

It's the random mixmaster builds that get more scrutiny or ire. I think mostly what he was getting at is the rings specifically. As far as I'm aware of, the original issue of the Mod 1 was furnished with Arms 22H. If I am wrong, I gladly welcome the schooling as I'm no expert on it, just a big nerd eager to know more. The x24 I've known to be correct for NSW clones, so for me personally, I know/knew it was a safe purchase. Though, my reticle isn't correct, nor is the scope "nav-spec" marked. To what I have put in bold, that leaves a lot of open grounds for NF rings..the likelihood of 1.5" being a "correct" option is much greater - which is essentially the answer I was looking for. As per usual, I appreciate your input @lancecriminal86 ETA: The first 2 images in your post look like they could very well be 1.5" rings, not sure how one would confirm that though. So I think I'm going to run it with these NF rings until I get yelled at I also do hope that you decide to pick up the Mod 1 photo hunting/putting together a gallery. The work you've done for both the Mod 0 imgur galleries are awesome |

All I was implying was is that there have been so many users of Mod 1s, that have customized their rifle for their use (i.e. rings, scopes, buttstocks, etc...), that he could probably find a rifle configured how he wants. The Mod H URX4 being a prime example. URX4 handguard, PEPR mount, and ATACR scope. None of those parts are on any "clone" list but the rifle really exists in the wild. |

I know the particular sleeve I have isn't "correct", but it's 100% better than the PRI PEQ repro I had on there imho. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/488238/20200528_144641_jpg-1438671.JPG Colt AF upper, something I was pretty excited about finding at the price I found it for. This was the first thing I got for this build, not a new addition to the rifle for this post. -teardrop FA not original to the upper https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/488238/20200528_144348_jpg-1438673.JPG Though it may not be as comfortable...I think I like the look of the beat up and mottled A1 grip on here more than an Ergo .. fits in nicely with the "well used" looking A1 stock I swapped to, it was previously a NOS A1 Type E. Oh, and also a soft reference to the early Uncle Mike's adapter since there isn't a good shot of it. Thanks @DStepec for that hook up. I'm getting that cloner disease pretty hard as of late.. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/488238/20200528_145304_jpg-1438674.JPG "NLS" ARMS 22M, wingless #40 rear...a shame the sleeve isn't wingless...and great shot of the "new" glass. Again, thank you @ArmyPilot12 https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/488238/20200528_145015_jpg-1438677.JPG Been a little spoiled with the TMR reticle with my other Mk4, the Mildot is not my cup if tea, but still shoots like a laser beam once I get in a groove at 200yds I'm truly having a bitch of a time deciding if I like this or the Mod Juan more .. Man you're going to make me feel bad posting later lol Honestly, if you did the mod to slightly open/shift the holes closer to 3/9 o'clock and threw some button heads in there that Handguard is going to look boss till we crack the code on OG Barrel nuts and collars. |

As butthurt as I may become...I am looking forward to it. You mean move the screw holes closer to the 3 and 9 o'clock right? I thought about doing that tbh. I want to because Sara Jane..but, I didnt have a legit PEQ sleeve then, and now I'm not even using the repro. After looking through your early SPR photo gallery a few times, if its not Sara Jane, I think I like the look of the original tube without the screws more That is something that pops out as an eye sore to me -the barrel nut- since it's been brought up on and off the last page or two. How far out we looking until you gracefully shit on all of us with a glorious Mod 0?

That said, I say keep them just as you have them. |

Hey guys, question for you all. I've been working on my mod 1 as some of you know and was up in the air on a barrel in the last couple weeks. Was thinking about the surplus ones, then got on the list at HCS. I ended up getting distracted because a friend of mine passed away and I had a long road trip to pick up some things he left for me. He was a couple mosins, couple lever guns, couple 22s and 1 off the shelf AR kind of guy. As I was leaving loaded up, she said there was 1 more thing and whipped out a barrel and asked if I wanted it. I thought it was odd as he wasn't the kind of guy to build a rifle or even work on one. Anyway I just got home and looked at it and it's a WOA 18" spr profiled 1/7 barrel.
Besides the fact that I was having weird vibes seeing his stuff get distributed, it's giving me extra weird vibes that he had this not exactly common barrel for an average guy sitting there when I have been trying to figure the exact same barrel out in recent weeks. I mean seriously, what the hell are the odds.... Sorry for the life story, still processing, but are these barrels worth a shit?

WOA are known solid shooters, especially for their price.

I thought that may be the case, I was hopeful he was referring to screw holes because covering all the vent holes and redrilling would be a huge pain and risk of ruining the whole handguard. I'll hold out on that haha! I know its not perfect, but I am happy with how my tube turned out |

Have the WOA in my Mk 12, and I have not been impressed. Handloads for 77gr TMKs with both TAC and CFE 223 have at best given me around 1 MOA at an underpowered load. All loads approaching Mk 262 velocity are about 2 MOA. |

Yeah, gets the job done and very acceptable accuracy for the price, but the douglas is the one you'll want. I have an HCS on the Mod 1, and CLE on the Mod 0, both shoot great. Mod 0 I'm getting less than inch groupings at 100 (before switching to a Mildot) and HCS is doing about the same. Both shooting Fiocchi 77gr SMK. Shot a little less accurate with 77gr Razer Core IMI |

This thread needs more Mod 1.
Funny how an old A1 stock can become an entire rifle..... HCS upper, Brownells A1 lower, Geissele SSA, Leupold 67925 Going for a USMC specific clone, so no paint. A few non clone correct pieces for right now but it's about done (lever stop #22, short collar, etc)     And the inspiration:   |

Agree. More mod 1's.
Really debating getting a b5 precision stock and throwing it on here, especially after seeing KAC throw it on m110's for trials
