I am planning a MK12 Mod 1 clone build. I was planning on collecting the parts and assembling the upper myself (this would be my second build). It seems that many people in a similar position choose to buy a pre-assembled upper from a excellent source like ADCO, Denny's, etc. My question is will accuracy or reliability suffer from building myself? Obviously I don't have the experience of a quality vendor, but I would like to build this myself for both the savings and the knowledge. That said, even though I am a obsessed with research and very meticulous, it would be a shame to spend a good deal of money on great parts and be disappointed in the end with mediocre accuracy. Thanks! |
Nice Rifle! Thanks for the info. Assuming quality parts, does anyone have any opinions on a specific step or technique that has a particular affect on accuracy? |
Build it yourself. The absolute most critical item for accuracy is the barrel. Accuracy rests with three things: barrel, bullet, brass, in that order. Buy yourself a high quality barrel, preferably with a specifically matched bolt to that barrel. Enjoy it, and have fun. There is nothing like hitting where you aim, repeatedly. |
