I am with my Dept's Narcotics section and after several incidents where the bad guy came up with a gun in the past year, we have been trying to send a few of our guys off to sniper school w/ good precision rifles for the job. However, our SWAT boys thinks that its stepping on their toes and they arent happy about that, so that idea has shot down. Since regular investigators and officers are allowed to carry AR15's (as long as they get it themselves), we have thrown around the possibility of doing it ourselves. Since I volunteered to come up with something, I figured that anything but high quality stuff is gonna get shot down by our firearms section (run by SWAT). What I was wanting to make for this purpose is a dead-nuts SPR. What I would really prefer and like is the Mk12 Mod0. One of our Dept's policies for anything other than iron sights is that it has to co-witness. I know, the front sight will be blurred out, but this is an administrative requirement that I have to have. Is there anyway to mount to a Mk12 Mod0 a Leupold VariX III LR 3.5-10X scope on an AR15 and have the crosshairs sitting on the (blurry) front sight post? I would really prefer to use ARMS QD scope rings, so that the scope can come off in a hurry if need be. Lastly, if co-witnessing isnt an option with the Mk12 Mod0, I am open to building a Mk12 Mod1, if that makes it easier to do. Thanks to everyone for reading this and any ideas they submit. |

First off magnified optics dont cowitness Second the PRI tube set up is more costly and heavier than the Mod 1 version. Third the set up with a Mod 1 direct to flat top is still higher than irons by a hair and the Mod 0 is higher still. Fourth you should go with the QD 35 not just the rings as its more stable. Fifth you need to decide what dead nuts is to you. Some match grade Stainless SPR barrels may not reliably chamber your duty load. Are you going to use seperate match ammo? Is that allowed? Perhaps you just want a cut down 20" 1/7 A2 barrel? |
