I've been a lurker and started my Mk12 style build at the end of last year, thanks to inspiration from this thread.

Please go easy on me, oh clone warriors.

I have a few more parts to get on it and the most glaring 'mistake' to me is the lack of Ops muzzle break. Its coming soon.

I'm sure I'll get some hate for the 'wrong' scope and a few other not 'perfect' parts but I'm getting it together the best that I can, on a budget, and I'll come straight out and say it will likely never have all the proper parts on it.  This will be a shooter, and functional, and so far its been a joy to assemble. Its got the spirit of the Mk12 in it.

In these photos its wearing an A1 stock and milsurp A1 grip. The discoloration on the grip is from just being an old, well-used surplus item.





EDIT:  Am I missing how to insert the photos in the post? Sorry I don't post on here very much, just read a lot.

Looking good so far.  Cloning is a slow process sometimes, it's just part of the game and you will get there.  I don't think anyone will give you a hard time since your planning on getting the right parts.

How did you even get in photobucket???  I was using it up til about 3 weeks ago and now all I get is spinning wheels.........


I'll just throw this out there, I have some no lever top #22 H's and I'm wracking my brain as to how much to put them up for.  Those ones sold in 2 freaking hours.......  For 250.   The clone life.   I really don't like doing things unfairly.  But everything is only worth what the value is.  Most metal stuff in the world carries a value that is quite a bit more than the actual value of the metal in weight.  Except Gold and silver, so to speak.  But shoot, we pay way more for cars and toasters than what it actually costs to produce them.  Guns too.  Because people make profit.   I do find it a bit unsettling if it feels like gouging.   But where do you draw that line?  

If a GI from WWII carried back his M-1 Carbine, and wasn't in combat.  And babied his gun and then sold it in his old age for 2k, because that's about what a mint, unmolested WWII outfitted carbine might go for.  Is he gouging because he didn't pay a dime for it?    Or any thing that that goes up in value because of supply and demand?    I don't know where the right answer is, but that's why it's called "Market Value".  If someone bought rings in 2 hours at a certain price, who's to say they should be cheaper????  

Maybe I SHOULD put them up for 3 bills.

Any suggestions are welcomed.  Yeah, I know, milspec will give me some nasty GI socks he had in Iraq.  Because they're clone socks.

Personally if there is someone you know won't turn around and sell them but has helped others out or has been contributing to the thread and is a good guy I'd sell them for what I paid.  

If not put them on eBay and let the market decide

Do it.  If that's what the market is bringing then good for you.  Supply and demand and all that.  If you had an ounce of gold you bought for $400 years back would you sell it today for the same price?

If you want it to remain some what anonymous throw them up on Ebay and let 'em fight it out.  We're all adults.  We'll most of us.

Everyone understands basic capitalism but when it comes to these types of threads, I feel like it's more about helping each out rather than making an extra $100. Like if I got offered a KAC MK12 rail for an incredible price and didn't need it....I would contact a few people and give them a heads up (I can't even imagine buying it/flipping it). There is much useful knowledge gained from this thread and it wouldn't even be a thread if it wasn't for members putting in so much effort to research/not hoard info. I couldn't care less what the "market value" is....I'm not selling a used car to strangers and not out there to squeeze every nickle and dime out of people. I'm new to this forum/thread and have already met some incredible people that have helped me out in various ways when they didn't have to.

Like I said, I'm new here but felt a real sense of community in this thread....Maybe I'm just a hippy but I get more satisfaction seeing people complete a build rather than trying to milk every last cent from them. Plus when I see them excited/posting pictures, I get second-hand excitement seeing them excited about their build.

Please contact BMMC. He needs a set badly and is a great guy. As far as price I only sell things for what I have in them. Problem is I don't sell to many things.

But again please contact him. He's been looking for a long time. If you guys make a deal and he ends up with the rings I will send you a free mod 0/1 manual.

There are still a lot of great people who share the same interest in the clone threads and are more than willing to help each other out.  I've been hooked up with good deals and leads more than a couple times.  Perhaps the best way to foster this kind of environment isn't to throw a fit, berate someone for their pricing on an item you have no intention of buying, then hate on capitalism(I don't think you understand basic capitalism btw).  What the fuck are you talking about with this "squeeze every nickel and dime out of people" shit?  It's some scope rings for a toy rifle, he isn't selling air to Martians, this isn't Total Recall, none of this stuff is necessary, it's 100% discretionary spending and a Mk12 clone is expensive.

I wasn't responding to JJREA, I was responding to Regulatori whom I quoted.  I hope JJ asked $500 for his rings.  

You were the first to jump on the seller and say "I hope that no one buys these for this price". Uncivil? No.  D-Bag move?  I sure think so.

That was taken at the range and it's winter.  Actually it doesn't really matter, the reason desert camo works so well here is because the grass is dead 8 months out of the year: Winter it dies, then comes back to life for tornado season in the spring, then dies again in the blistering heat in late June.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do for camo for this gun. Winter is white, fall/spring is brown, summer is green everywhere with the humidity. I normally just wrap my rifles when I go hunting. I like the desert camo so I'm thinking of doing base tan with 50% brown streaks and maybe do a light spray of green as a shadow effect under the brown. I got a 2x6 I'm going to test on first.

I'd agree with you on price gouging (if you can call it that), but if you ask for $300, and someone pays $300, it's worth $300.

That just proves people have more dollars than sense, and are willing to spend it.
(Guy that bought those probably just paid $100k+ for a soccer mom suburban btw.)
Just saying things like rings selling for ridiculous money doesn't help anyone reach their end goal of completing a clone build.

Then don't buy them, or buy from someone else.

Nice. I wasn't specifically looking for them, they just popped up. I needed them just not actively searching, current market dictating so.

I am not even gonna try to find a early PRI wheeled front sight for my GEN I/ll price tube and arms rail  that I have . The only thing I am missing

JJREA-

It is a balance. I am 48 years old and have been buying and selling for a long time. Yea, I'm slightly old as I remember buying rifles from Paragon out of the paper magazine Shotgun News in the 80's. LOL Anyway, I have gave out free deals and also flipped quite a few things. I never walk away with a bad feeling.

Think for yourself, do what you want, and be happy with the outcome.

BTW B191299 offered up three free short SPR collars not too long ago. I took him up on one and will pay it forward and offer up something MK12ish and  free to the group as soon as I can.

What bipod are good to go for mod 0? Main page just says Harris or versapod. I know most here have the 6-9 notched swivel bipod with pod lock. HCS offers there builds with a 9-13 Harris, and looks like the cover on the manuals show 9-13 too. Were 6-9 notched none swivel used as well? I know they are issued to other DMRs like the mk14. Just looking for clarification.

On the topic of ARMS 22H rings, I don't have a use for mine anymore.  They have lever stops so if you don't care about that I'm open to donating them... to the deserving cloner.  My treat back to the community.

I have this top rail.....Is it correct for the early Mod. 0 or only a late Mod. 0?



I'm trying to finalize my decision on what Mk. 12 I am doing so that I can complete my parts list. I'm using this top rail.

Thanks in advance.

The Gen III should have been around at that time, but the rifles you interacted with were early configuration.  Your picture was taken on my 21st birthday.  I got a bunch of treble hooks in my head that day.

I may use the 'Late Mod. 0' part list from page 1 to get a rifle put together and then try to get some of the rare 'Early Mod. 0' parts to upgrade it as I see them.

Go for it. I've done similar.

The PEQ-2 rail as issued is different than the later PEQ-2 rails, but it looks acceptable. This early rifle I put together has a 2-3 rail with the gap filled in.  I truly detest PRi's Gen II repro handguard, but if you're not interested in it looking exact, it'll do just fine. Originals are damned near unobtainium.  There's a machinist on the FB clone group that is making early gen sight towers that you can use with a current base.

Good luck and have fun building.
