OK, Along time ago I read an article in SOF and the memory and pictures will not let go of me. It was an article about the marines using this SPR for sniping using the 77 grain black hills load. I want one and maybe build it up slow. I've got a lot to learn because although I've been shooting my ar for awhile now, the only mod I did was a hoge grip. Which is nice but obviously not the hardest in the book. If anyone remembers this article and feels the same way pipe up!!!!! I guess I should do a search first but if anyone has built an spr that looks like that one, can you show me!!!! I think it had the arms foreend. It looks like the uppers bushmaster is selling. I'm pretty sure it has a 18" barrel. Doesn't brouhaha have one?? I'm dying to see one alot like that one again and any advice one where to start getting parts to build one. What do yall say?

| Brouhaha's is very non standard SPR. It has a cut down 20" milspec barrel and DD fore end. THe SPR variants have either PRI or KAC foreends. Check MSTN tacked thread in the industry section for all your SPR info. (I may be mistaken and his 6.8 has the DD fore end) I saw the DD rail at his house before he attached it to a rifle. |
| #7 looked alot like the one in the article I read. Mostly the arms forend looks the same. Except for the fact that it had a leupold scope on it. It had an adjustable stock like that one and a short bypod. I was looking on bushmasters sight and they don't sell the arms forend that is rifle length. Only the carbine kind. Where do you get one of those and how much? And what does it do, mate to an a3 or 4 reciever? I don't have the first clue on how they go together. I have an understanding because of feildstipping my a2, but I never took one apart. I like the idea of a barrel longer than 16" if you're building something to reach out and touch something. |

QUOTE: "SPR is any rifle that has Special purpose, SPR means Special purpose rifle. U can find the Arms#59 handguard at Adcofirearms.com or the EE or Csgunworks.com. they are not cheap and they are heavy, but I love the look and fell of mine. Here is pic of mine SPRaminter www.hunt101.com/img/127783.jpg " QUOTE This has been covered before, but the US Military, and I think many (most?) folks on this board, define an SPR very specifically. A real SPR --Special Purpose Rifle--is a government-built AR-style rifle with a specific 18" 1-8 twist profile barrel, parts, and accessories (see other SPR posts or MSTN for the details), and they are gov't designated as the Mark 12 Model 0 or Mark 12 Model 1 rifle. MSTN, ADCO, and a few others on the board build clones that are close to milspec when outfitted with with the proper handguards, BUISs, accessories and optics. Anything else just vaguely SPR-like is just that...YMMV. Will |
