Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Unfortunately for me, the F4 transfer is legitimate to them (him) - and their end of the deal was never fulfilled so they got a 12th model marked suppressor for a song.

Did not make it out to the long range today. Just a quick zero after work.

20 rounds of AAC 77gr through the BA barrel. Budget barrel and budget ammo did ok. One group just under an MOA one group just a hair over.

Only shot 20 rounds. 2720 FPS SD of 10 one one group and 21 on the other.





The downvent BCG is extremely quiet on a mod 1. 100% hearing safe.

Went in to my local small town gun store this weekend. While waiting for the owner to finish with another customer I just milled around looking at stuff. In a disorganized display case I spotted an OPS 12th model suppressor. It had a price tag on it and my birthday is coming up. Hmmm….i’m thinking I might need a present for myself.

Can someone with a mod0, with the cross bolt/clamp version front sight, measure the coverage length of the gas port section?

What units is that?

To clarify, I’m talking about this measurement. Just the depth of barrel coverage of the gas port section

Perfect, thank you.

Can you tell, does it cover the gas channels completely or is it right on the edge?

Just by looking you can't see the gas channel. I'm not sure how close to the edge it is.

Not sure how clone correct you need to be, but just finished up this. Local arfcom member gave me a package deal on a rail and Douglas barrel from PRI. Had a debacle getting the NF scope with USPS, shout out to my local office for tracking it down. Got the AEM5, form 4 for my trust was approved in 3 days, on Easter Sunday. Crazy that my first suppressor took 13 months.

Just got done with a rough zero, 2-2.5moa 5 shot groups with PMC x-tac. I have some IMI 77gr to try this weekend.

Got my Mod1-ish build out to 100 yesterday with 77 Black Hills, 77 IMI Razorcore, and 77 Bone Frog. I shot 2EA 5-shot groups with each load. The barrel in this rifle is a 14.5in Colt Socom (new for this build, round count of 103 after yesterday). Groups are below. The IMI wasn't worth recording. Curious how this compares to good barrels like CLE, WOA, Centurion, Noveske. Anyone got some data/pics to share?

Otter Creek stopped production of the OCM5 in favor of the OCM6, last I checked. It's more of a flow through alternative so it won't suppress as well as the original OCM5.

AEM5 might be the play if you want to maximize suppression and don't mind the extra gas.

I finally pulled all the trash fake PRI crap off my Mock 12 and replaced it with an actual PRI build kit.

I would like to mount a Nightforce or Luepold optic on it in the future but I really don't want to blow that much on a scope right now. So I was looking at an Athalon Optics Talos BTR 4-14X44 FFP scope. Have any of you guys had any experience with them? This Vortex 3-9x40 is going to my Brother in law's hunting rifle.

Current going rate for a Leupold Mark 4 3-9x36mm MR/T M1? Illumination dial is blended (if that's a thing).



only semi recent 3-9 iv'e come across and this one is without illumination but has m3 dials.

Awww man say it ain't so. I asked recently because I couldn't find them all of a sudden when I was ready to pull the trigger, and figured it was just dumb luck that everywhere was OOS.

Any leads on one that may be in stock are appreciated.

Interesting. Ok. I liked the idea of the OCM5 because my Mk12 is not a true clone (PRI upper to start) so figured why bother with AEM5 that's hard to find if I can get a 'better' can that looks the same.

Will look for an AEM5 in stock (links welcome).

CA sells them, OOS at the moment but you can sign up for in-stock notification.

Or just check with AE's stocking dealers.

That's really cool, he definitely deserves it! Another cool thing is that the 5th SFG SFSC II facility has one of the original MOD H test rifles on display in the entry way with MSG Holland's backstory on the rifle's development. That dude sparked some serious innovation within the military, not just SF, and helped create a clone culture due to his experience and innovation.

That'd be the Arms Tech SMIR (modified Browning)? Or straight from the factory? I remember Steve mentioned using BARs on Facebook, and I read somewhere that some of these were supposedly used in Desert Storm
