Sold my Mod 0, desperately wanting a mod 1. Should I wait for one to pop up here? Build one? Every time I start a build project I gather parts and when I am 3/4 through a complete build comes along for less than I am already into it. What is that about?

If anyone has a lead on a mod 1 let me know. Thanks!

What do you care more about, correctness or function? If you want, you could start piecing together parts for a Mod 1 easy. KAC rails have been popping back up at retail ($350) and occasionally in stock. I'd personally start hunting for a Colt AF forged upper, since that's one of the harder to find items for a super correct build. Get hunting for #22 High rings as well, unless you'd like to clone one of the in the wild type setups.

If you can get an AF forged upper, FF RAS, and some #22 H rings, it's downhill from there. Barrel you just have to decide whose Douglas you want, Operationsparts is now doing the AEM brake with long collar, and the BUIS are just money, not too hard to find.

Follow this thread as members will chime in when they see some for sale.  I'd also watch Ebay and our own EE.

ETA:  Are you looking for the "issued" cases or new a new case with cut outs?  Not sure there is such a thing as new cases pre-cut for the Mk12.

Always wait for retail with them. A friend just sold his at retail in the FB clone group, and they pop up for retailish money in there every so often. Only the legit M4 MATCH or M4 SNIPER marked ones should go for anything more.

I will take either an "issued" or new case. If anyone has specs for the foam insert I'd be willing to pay a professional service to have a new piece cut.

I saw that one for $750... Some people's kids, right? I'm not sure where that guy, whoever he is, got the idea to list it for $750.

Not sure if it violates the forum rules to promote for someone (if it is, feel free to delete comment and give a verbal bitch slap), but I just got mine for $350+shipping from Dennis Todd right here on AR15.com. I know I'm new, but it's always nice to support a forum member.

mod 0 is gonna be hard to find. the case is different from the mod 1 case as well as the foam inserts. 

i found a well used police riot launcher original style 1700 case for $140 shipped off eBay and got new foam for $50 shipped and used pics and cut it myself. cant get much cheaper than that. 

most people dont wanna donthe legwork but its worth it in the end.

When his can is installed it gives the impression of a reflex style suppressor partly covering the barrel. It's a really slick piece I believe he made himself.

Yeah I needed a mod 1, now I'm going at this with the intention of it ending as a super correct mod 1 but it may end up in the recce thread. The barrel is going to be my last part purchased. I have a devil on my shoulder telling me to put a 16" Douglas on it. Either way every other part will be as correct as I can get. I'm in the process of chasing down a couple leads on another AF upper.

Yeah I figured the most accurate recce clone would be a mod 1 with a 16" barrel. I was thinking about the lilja at one point but then I decided I wanted mid length gas instead of carbine. That's what got me back to the mod 1, figured if I'm gonna build a mod one with a shorter barrel might as well just build a mod 1. So it's in the air at the moment. I still have to get the upper and rail and then probably glass then I'll worry about the barrel.

How does one know if they actually need one?  I've been reading about the Bootleg and Gemtec, and also the Adj. gas blocks too since I was looking at a 300BO supressed build too lately.  I do get a bit of gas to the face with my MK12, even with the GB.  MK18 the same way.  Not sure if adjust gas would help or if it's just part of the deal of shooting suppressed.  I always shoot Mil or close to Mil ammo, ie MK262 Mod1 (or like handload), 193, 855 etc no Tula/Wolf or any crap like that in my MK12/MK18's.  Bit of gas to the face and ejection moves from 4 oclock to around 1-2 oclock when the can's on, generally.  Standard build, ie Douglas Barrel, Colt BGC, Rifle Buffer/Spring.  MK18 with Colt barrel/bcg, H2 Buffer.

Pics from the original ad:

I don't think the seller was intentionally trying to rip people off.  He got them second hand from someone who told him they were real.  Unfortunately, they are not, though they look pretty convincing.

I went to see the seller in person today and had a look at them.  They looked pretty convincing, even had some weight to them, but after playing with them, I decided there was too much play in the sight in the opened or closed position.  The other thing, which was a dead give away took no longer than 2 seconds to see.  Spot it yet?  There's no gas port for the gas to escape the barrel and into the "gas block".  There was a hole for the gas tube, and even a hole for the gas tube roll pin.  

For $35, I should have know, lol!

I caught more shit from people when I bombed my Leupold MK4 than the rifle. Hell, even with my clone-ish parts the rifle/can cost over triple what I spent on the scope. All my buddies said Leupold isn't going to warranty that now.......... So, I ended up calling customer service at Leupold and asked them about warranty work on a painted scope. CS said spray away. Obviously you wouldn't want to spray the lenses and try to get warranty work done on them or send it in for mushy turrets with paint globbed in them, etc. He said the warranty is only void if it is a baked on finish.
