BATFE lost my AEM5 F4 from Sept 2019. I took everybody's advice: just forget about it until you get the F4 back in the mail.
But the transferring In shop here now does the electronic F4, so will try to get the replacement F4 in the system by Friday. |

What type of $ should I be expecting to cough up for the correct optic for a late mod 0? I see a number of mk 4 3-9's available albeit with incorrect turrets. Maybe I should just grab one and call it good until I can find a proper one. Second, barrels are black correct? If I was to go through compass lake I would have them cerakote it I guess?

Last few commercial marked illuminated 3-9's with M3 turrets I saw went for north of $1700. Last TS30A2 marked I saw went for $2500. Maybe theres better deals out there, those were just the latest I saw. The Vari-X 3.5-10's (or Mark 4) can be had for a pretty significant amount less and is a far superior scope in my opinion. The eye relief on the 3-9's is atrocious. Just all depends on what you're trying to clone though and how deep into th detail you want to go. Barrels would be black on late mod 0. Though I don't think they would have been Cerakote, maybe Gunkote? |

Anyone looking to move an early gen SOCOM stock? I’ve moved my Hydramatic lower to my Mod H and would like something more correct than the 4th gen.

The stock looks like the ARS, by CAA. The grip looks like a Hogue overmolded rubber grip.
Any idea who manufactured that vertical grip?

Wound up cleaning some of the rattle can off after getting the new rail. Those old Armalite uppers are the blackest of black after they've been rubbed down in citristrip.

I almost feel silly for asking this but are there any "correct" VFG or broomsticks on the late Mod 0?
I'm really just looking for an excuse to put one on because I keep smoking my arms by the end of the day. I used to just use one leg of the bipod but I guess my arms are getting shorter and weaker. My wife says they are huge but I think I'm on to her methods now... |

Yeah I don't belive the barrel would have been cerakoted black, that's just the one option if I go though Compass Lake. Who is everyone using for barrels? And yeah, looking around I think the Veri-x might be the call for right now. |

That and the 3-9 are really the two clone options for late mod 0. I use PRI for my Douglas barrels. Never had an issue with them and they're spot on accurate/quality. Only problem is they can't keep them in stock. Anyone know if Kevin with HCS can still spin one up? |

Got a couple parts questions was hoping you guys could help with me. Been slowly putting together a build over what feels like the past decade scouring for parts and think I want to start wrapping it up.
Important things I currently have: Compass Lake SPR/MK-12 Barrel 18.1' Douglas-SS old PRI folding FSB ARMS #38 SPR-PEQ-2-3 Sleeve AEM5 can that i forgot to snag a pic of Pics for ref: https://imgur.com/djj9KI4 https://imgur.com/fOuNJO7 1. When I go to Allen's website (http://aesuppressors.com/mounts/), it shows an SPR collar, which I assume I what I need, but just looking at ADCO website, among other places, they have MOD-0 Long and MOD-0 Short available. They also have a disclaimer stating "It needs to be noted, while this is correct for the original MOD 0s, unless you have the original PRI sight with the barrel adjustment front sight – this collar will probably not fit properly." I assume this works (and is correct) for my stuff but I just wanted to double check before I buy. Am just a little confused on the Short/Long/SPR designations on the different sites. 2. Again, 99% sure this is right but want to double check. but this is the correct rail for MOD 0? Lastly, bonus question. Right now my barrel is only dimpled at the 6oclock position while the screws I have for the FSB all mate at the 5 & 7 oclock positions on the barrel. My guts telling me this probably won't be all that secure so wondering if I need to find a screw for the 6oclock too or if there's any need to get work done on the barrel to make the other 4 screws fit a bit more snug |

My guts telling me this probably won't be all that secure so wondering if I need to find a screw for the 6oclock too or if there's any need to get work done on the barrel to make the other 4 screws fit a bit more snug 1. Long collar is what was used on the originals but there's a risk you won't get many turns on your suppressor. Short collar should ensure you get more turns, but for clone purposes most go with long collar as that is what was used. 2. That handguard you linked is a gen 3. The FSGB you have is an earlier mod 0 FSGB. PRI does sell a gen 2 handguard which would be more correct for the FSGB you have, but isn't 100% clone correct as gen 2's weren't used in service. But the gen 2 handguard can be modified to get it close to the original SPR ones. Which mod 0 are you trying to build - early or late? Better question may be which ARMS swan sleeve do you have? Does it have the relief cuts for a gen 3 handguard or is it straight? Bonus: The 6 o'clock dimple will support it but you'd really want to get the flats milled on your barrel for long-term and clone purposes. But 6 o'clock should suffice for some bench shooting while you schedule flats milling. |

Was going for late Mod 0. And I have the ARMS #38 SPR-PEQ-2-3 sleeve so it does have the cuts for the Gen III. Going off the 1st post in the thread I thought Gen III PRI handguard would be fine with that sleeve and FSB. Guessing there are some differences in older Gen III's and new ones?
Will definitely get the flats milled then. If anyone has any suggestions of people who can do that in the DFW area, let me know. Had a couple other things done around here and haven't been entirely happy with it. |

(Note that the current production gen 3 handguard is slightly different than the originals but it's very close and would be perfect for your build, especially with some slight tweaks. If you're interested in parting with that gen 1 FSGB hit me up. I'm actually looking for one and can prob help you out with a correct FSGB for a late mod 0. I'm also in DFW and I use Marc Galloway at Spartan Precision for milling flats and all kinds of other MK12 stuff I've done. |

gotcha so either I gotta switch FSGB for the newer version to do late mod0 or switch my sleeve for the SPR MOD sleeve and find a gen 1 handguard and do an early mod0. i guess i'll think about it. gonna be hard to part with that FSGP though since it was the first thing i got for the build and easily the most expensive so there's some sentimental value there lol

Best of luck in your quest! If you decide to do a gen 1 build and think that FSGB was expensive, you may want to go ahead and pepper your angus as they say in GD. . You could always do both though. You've got a gen 3 swan sleeve and a gen 1 FSGB - thats a hell of a starting point for both and def some of the more expensive/harder to find parts of each build.Looking forward to seeing which way you go with it and how the build progresses. Good luck and most of all have fun! |

So for a late mod 0, beyond the A1/2. If using a standard buffer, a normal Colt 4 pos tube would have been used? Car or regular lock ring?
To bad I just sold a few 2 pos/4 pos colt tubes for way too cheap. Thinking of going with an N1, if it meets criteria! I could be completely wrong and not of the above was utilized on them and it was on Mod Hs. |

Sopmod wins most comfortable for me, but car is coolest looking/most photogenic for me.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Yumago: Damn that would be a nice win, would change some of it out but solid for the most part. Anyone know what's going on with that monopod? I've never seen a monopod in a grip, and can't find anything on it. Probably just a lock nut on the stud inside the grip. I'll post some pics of it when I pick it up tomorrow. Everything but the rail will be parted out on the EE soon |

So forgive me, I am embarking on my first Mk 12 build. I have a PRI MK12 Mod 0 upper incoming, and I need an optic. I'm not hell bent on it being perfectly clone correct, but I want something that's attainable so I can enjoy it. I see leupold 3-9's are generally accepted as subs. Would this be in the ballpark? https://www.eurooptic.com/Leupold-Mark-3HD-3-9x40-30mm-P5-MilDot-Riflescope-180665.aspx

Welp..despite jaw box saying the 3x9 eye box sucks (who I appreciate giving me all the info!!) I went ahead and just bought this..which is probably completely wrong and I actually didn't intend to purchase lmao.
Which is a Mark 4 3-9x36mm MR/T M1 Illuminated. I know at least the dials are wrong. I probably spent too much also, eh whatever.

Gen 2 Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 (or Mark 4 equivalent) is what you seek for gen 2. 3.5-10's are what were primarily used on the original SPR's which is what the gen 2 emulates. 3-9 would be primary for a gen 3 or mod 1. |

Congrats (though you didn't actually intend to purchase it haha). Mount it up and run it hard

Forgive me, but that's discontinued, correct? I'm asking of the one I posted would be in the ballpark. Or this: https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-3-5-10x40-cds-zl-duplex |

You are correct, discontinued.
You'll have to scour for the correct one in the EE and elsewhere they do occasionally pop up. And when they do be prepared to pay big money, (and do things to members here that will compromise your self esteem) if you're wanting to go the correct route. The last one I saw on the 'bay was more money than a Nightforce 3x15 (arguably much better glass and reticle than the leupy too). If all else on the rifle is correct, then the going sentiment is just run the glass you want as a place holder and get it to the range. Personally, range experience trumps the "correct" glass. I know, BLASPHEMY. But it does. |

There's a 3.5x10x40 TMR mark 4 on eBay right now for just shy of a k. Was gonna get that until the guy accepted my offer on the 3x9 for a bit more.
Not perfectly correct though |

There's actually a few on the EE currently for pretty good prices. W/O going and looking them back up I think the asking prices range from $1K to $1.3K. Will be light-years more correct than a Mark 3 and Leupold lifetime warranty has never failed me. ETA: Here's the link to the one Hunterex has posted. |
