Has anyone seen a 2000 production mk4 that has TS-30 marked on the side for sale and/or what would you expect the price to be on one?

BUT, if you were to hunt for one, WTBs on here, M4Carbine, Snipershide, Calguns, etc. would be your best bet. That's part of how @KOBK amassed a lot of those early SPR parts over the years, strategic running WTB ads. Same with @Augee if I remember correctly on his GWOT unicorn bits. Personally, I'd be happy just to get a 3-9 marked MR/T with M3 turrets and illuminated mil-dot. I honestly don't know if you'd be able to find an actual TS-30 marked one because it seems like Leupold themselves were fickle about what scopes and markings they provided to fulfill that Mk12 optic NSN. |

I was lucky in that one member was getting out of MK12's as I was getting in. As far as a marked scope, I think I have only seen one for sale over the years...not to say they aren't out there but they don't come up for sale very often. |

Here's how my Mod 1 sits today. The Mk12 seems lighter after handling my Mk11 recently. I changed the A1 to a sopmod; that has improved the feel of the gun drastically. The length of pull and eye relief of the sopmod stock fit me much better. Thinking about throwing an ergo grip on it to give the rifle some character. Still rocking the TAS-1 UMSS without the A1 buttstock adapter. Also, I KG Gunkoted the barrel a couple weeks ago since it was bare stainless prior. Left some marks on the barrel from installing the gas block since coating the barrel increased the diameter slightly. I could easily fix this, but I decided not to; it just gives the rifle some character. This is probably how the early SPR's got the scratch marks on the barrel as well. KG Gunkote isn't the most durable coating product.
On another note... A buddy on Facebook is sending me a set of ARMS rings that Nick Nicodemi didn't finish. I'm going to see if I can finish removing the leverstops on them and get them looking decent. I'll be updating the group with the results of that.

Shooting 700yds with mk262 vs my 77gr handloads. My handloads won. Hit probability on a 10 inch gong was 2-1 my handloads. Using real mk262. Wasn't impressed. Groups at 100yds were probably 1-1 1/2"

Yes Junkie, 1/7 Douglas from CLE.
Boom, its my secret recipe and go-to for this rifle but ill share. 24gr RL15, 77gr SMK or Nosler w/out cannelur, CCI #41 Mil Primer and Winchester brass (I pick up casings from after we waste mk262 at work with our M4's doing mag dumps :'( Use it or loose it. That load has gotten me consistently sub-moa @100yds with the occasional 1/2" 5 shot group. Did shoot a 3/4" 5 shot group at 200yds once with it. I framed that group, and then got into bolt guns so I took it out of the frame lol. I guess mk262 was made with LC like M855...but all mk262 I see in Win brass

Hey everyone, I've got some questions. I'm putting together a Mod 1 with a nightforce clone and I'm looking at sling options. I know the UMSS is not gonna be possible to find, what other options were used in the wild? I've been going through the hundreds of pages here and can't always tell from the photos.
Also, what sling mounts are appropriate? I know the front should be KAC but they've got 2 options, a regular stud mounting and also a QD socket mount. Which one of these was the issued mount? Thanks very much, hopefully I can get something thrown together worthy of this thread. |

Well, after working on this for about 2 years, I finallyfinished my clone of the famous FDNY Mk12 Mod1. I had to get an M16 80% lower from NDS, get braceman to engrave it for me and then mill it. Had to wait for Kevin at HCS to finally get some more Mk12 barrels in. The faux auto sear pins are actually stick ons. My paint job is not the greatest, I know. It was my first attempt at doing a full rifle and I kinda rushed it. I know there is at least one
other member here who built this mod a few years back and posted pictures in this thread but I could not find them. I also know that KAC's coldblue (I think that was his handle) posted pics in this thread of the original KAC rebuild of this rifle, but I also could not find those pictures. I fear the coldblue photos, like many others, have disappeared from this thread. Anyway, here are pics of what I built trying to stay as close to the original rebuild as I could. I could have gone with the original style tripod but opted to put on the lever because it works better for me. One thing that took me a long time was finding an Armalite upper. The new Armalite uppers don’t have the same marks as the older ones. I was not able to find the old style Ergo grip shown on the original FDNY rifle. Anyone have one they want to part with? Finally, I never could find the #36 SE-X rail. I know some of you regulars in this thread have also searched in vain for that rail. So, I modified a #36 SE-X OSR long rail to mimic the original. Now if I could just get the correct PEQ I’d be good to go. Oh, yeah, don’t give me grief on the scope. It’s a MIL-SPEC 3.5-15 X 50 NF that I prefer over those low-powered Leupolds (some of which I’ve owned and sold over the years). A picture of the FDNY Mk12 in the field:  Here's my Clone:

I have those photos. What I don't have are the photos of the job that KAC did on the rifle. I think I found one of them in my computer but I recently lost one of my hard drives on my computer (it went bonkers) and now I can't find the other photos. I'm still looking through my C, D, E and F drives to see if I can find them.
