Pic 1: early EMC I just bought
Pic 2: Mk11 Mod 0 with smaller ejection port
Pic 3: current production upper with longer port

I circled the part I’m talking about. Look how different the 3 are.

Yup, the ejection ports were lengthened to improve ejection when suppressed.
The welded doors on the transitional EMCs were the first commercial implementation, and we've been standard on the "Enhanced" port size for around a decade now.
Finally for the M110 ECP through a couple of years ago to go to the "Enhanced" port size after years of effort.

Only need a few more pieces for my MK11 clone until it's shootable. LMT lowers are backordered right now so I'm waiting on that and I am still trying to figure out the barrel situation. More than likely going to end up ordering a Krieger blank and sending it to Compass Lake. Also have a line on a NF nxs so I might pick that up soon. Filling out the rest of the deployment kit is going to be a long term project.

Anyone have a lead on an ER barrel? I need to finish this thing!

Trying to get this thing as close as possible without deviating too much.

Anyone know if Surefire still produces the FA762K? And more importantly, where do I find one?

If I can't get a hold of one, plan B is to go with a Gen 1 RC 762.

If all else fails, I'll just go with a newer RC2 762.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

ETA: Spoke to Surefire on the phone - they can make the FA762K suppressors if there is a decent demand for it from a dealer, otherwise I'm shit out of luck I guess.

Ended up ordering an RC2 762 - not the exact same can, but pretty close in appearance anyway.

My last two suppressors were both right around 12 months, but this was a few years ago - not sure what the wait time is as of late.

Does Knight's test fire the M110 suppressors before they ship to dealers? I finally got a chance to take a look at mine and it was definitely test fired and had some cosmetic blemishes. When I received my NT4 last year is was brand spanking new.

I just kept it pretty simple and got the Rainer Arms MK11 barrel. Haven't shot it yet, so it'll be a minute before I can report on accuracy. Dave Wilson pinned the GB and upper assembly.

I'll get some mo' betta pics up within the next few days.

Rainier confirmed these barrels are 100% compatible and correctly profiled for the MK11 with a can. I didn't notice any slight step/raise, but if you can provide a pic then I can compare it to what I'm seeing on my end.

Hard to tell if the muzzle end is stepped down or stepped up, but the Rainier Arms barrel is neither and is pretty much uniform from the GB to the muzzle, so if they say it'll work with the can then I'm assuming that the barrel diameter will accommodate it without issues. If not then I guess we'll find out if Rainier Arms will stand behind their claim.

BTW if anyone needs or is looking for a MK11/M110 manual a dude on ebay is selling quality reprints. I got one to compare to my authentic copy (that I paid way too much money for), and it's legit. The print quality is indistinguishable from the original (and even better than the copy KAC provides with new SR25s), and it is a reprint of the colorized manual rather than the black and white copy that I have. The cover and binding also appears to be indistinguishable from the original color copy. Mine has a slightly more flat tan color while his more closely matches the tan of the color copy. The paper quality itself is pretty good, but there's a hint of bleed through that you don't really see on the original copies (due to the originals having heavier weight print paper I'm sure) and you really have to be paying attention to really notice it. I'd wager most people won't even care either way. The seller is good to go.

Contact Marvin Pitts at Nefarious arms. He has two barrels ready to be finished and does the muzzle to KAC specs. He can leave it in the white for cheaper than the rainier or cerakote it for similar price to it

Thanks man. On my old ER the lip felt a lot bigger than those pics look but I can’t remember if the springs inside the Mk11 can push against the face of the muzzle or the outside of the barrel.
