Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By revottuneda4: So…I probably already know the answer to this, but, let’s say you have the ability to pick up an AEM5 for MSRP, but you already have an OCM5 in jail, do you buy the AEM5 too? AEM5 is an excellent can. OCM5 is a little quieter, lighter, and prettier welds. Both are good to have. Only one is clone correct. |

For the seasoned Mk12 vets....if it's not an Ops Inc manufactured and marked can, which of the clones would you go with?

Got my long anticipated Mod 1 almost completely buttoned up!
Have an AEM5 pending since 10/6/21...which probably still has a few months to approve. At least I can look at this until then:

PM if you don't want to put out there. I get it. It depends on your barrel and what other components you're going to be able to find or already have. There is a reloading section that just had this topic: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/Powders-for-77gr-SMK-/42-534580/ Personally I just use Accurate 2520, because I was able to get a bunch and it's reasonable precise if the rest of your variables are controlled. |

PM if you don't want to put out there. I get it. Like others will tell ya, depends on your barrel and there are a ton of threads on it that would be more appropriate for exact results and methods. FWIW : 24.0 grains with a 2.250 COAL put me at 2715 fps. I went a little under matching the black hills 2750 because when I got exacts on crimp amount and head spacing, I was under 1/2” with 10 round group. Where I’m going with that, there’s a lot more to it than shoving powder in a case. |

In particular when I took the A1 stock off the mod 1. But then I remember it's summer in Texas and the garage is misery, so I wind up telling myself that I'll get around to it later. . Most likely will get another GM lower sometime to replace the BRN the H currently sits on.Eta: I really like the Socom stock. It's been Jerry rigged in place so it doesn't adjust. Thing is rock solid and it lines me up perfectly for the scope. Yet another couple hard to find items a particular someone on this forum helped me with. I honestly haven't tried a Sopmod stock with the H yet. I ran a CTR prior to getting the Socom and just haven't tried a diff stock since./shrug |

It's been a while but here are my four for you guys. All parts correct. One Ops Inc and one Allen Engineering. The Mod 1 is a clone of a MOH Recipient shooters rifle I saw and wanted to build. I have the Versa-Pod for the Early Mod 0, and Harris for the other two, then an Atlas for the Mod H. Douglas Barrels with screw flats for the front sight/gas block screws on the 18" guns. These are years old with the exception of the Mod H which I built sometime in the last ten. The Mod 0 Late has KNS pins on the lower as they would walk when switched over. The Mod H has a Gen 2 (wrong) butt stock in this photo but now has the correct Gen 1 Stock on it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By country_boy87: What tan paint was used back then or what do y’all do? I like that black worn through tan look. KG Gunkote (can't remember the number for the tan off top of my head). If rattle can, Krylon or Rustoleum khaki will do it. The Krylon khaki is a tad brighter than the rustoleum, but it won't matter if you do a very light shade (basically like overspray) of dark earth brown or forest green over it. The overspray method really helps darken down the khaki while also blending in other colors. I think some tan SPR's were done with the KG Gunkote though. Hunterex would know the specific part number of it I'm sure. He told me recently and I wrote it down instead of putting it in my phone ETA: OG SPR's that were done in Gunkote were FML tan. And they look fantastic. |

Anyone got any safe queens with a kac ras on it that they want to unload to a home where it will get used a lot? I just wanna build a NSW recce and just need a dumb rail. Not looking to build multiple 18” guns here.
Buy or may even be willing to deal a trade with an AEM5 (@ MSRP values) or possibly some wingless arms accessories off my personal Mod 0 that I’ve never seen on this sight but a few times and to the right connoisseur. Feel free to DM me if so and we can chat. |
