Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Firejareen: I have been dealing with Hani at MyCaseBuilder. She has been helpful in getting the correct foam weight, 2.2# PE foam, and the measurements so everything fits and it is to spec. I changed the password and made it very simple if you would like to use the design we have got. Go to MyCaseBuilder and log in as me; Quoting this for others since interest in cases and foam has been shown lately. Am gonna try this route and see how it goes as it apparently went well for some in the past. |

Either way personally I’d rather hold out for one of the real deals. |

I didn't see the update to the login information and I was still trying to use the FIREJAREEN login. I just tried now and it seems to work. At the time I didn't really pursue it too hard either since it'd basically cost $400. I've been scrounging to get as many clone and period correct parts for my build, so I'd rather just wait around for a real one. Not like anyone's going to ban plastic rifle cases, right? ...Right? |

They are a major dealer for Allen Eng so hoping they get a restock soon and my backorder can be fulfilled. Then I'll get to start my jail time.

Nice to meet another local. Still swapping out parts as I find more correct pieces. Some folks on this forum like Hunterex have been a huge help. I've got a GM Hydramatic repro lower coming from Russian Paint soon but have it on a Brownells A1 until then. Here's a pic as it currently sits. The quest is neverending but I'm much closer today than I was in October! Thanks for the heads up on Capitol Armory. I'm gonna reach out to DSG and see when they think they'll see another batch. Will at least give me more info to keep my eyes peeled and make a decision. Thanks!  Attached File |

Are these larue special run 112633 kosher or is it worth it to try for one of the NF that occasionally comes into stock? Thanks! You're going to have an argument and some controversy as to whether the 112633 is correct based on the markings and the slabside illum housing. I think it's been seen on 1 pic in the wild, but I believe these were contracted for the USMC M38 sdmr. Here's an old response by lancecriminal: "I no longer consider the 112633 correct for a Mk12. 112633 did not exist during the production or primary usage by the Navy, Army, or even Marines. The later illumination housing with the funky slab sides, same thing. Only time that is seen is much more recently if old scopes were sent in for repair. I only know of exactly 1 case of that and said scope will probably head back to Crane in the impending SPR/Holland turn ins. 112633 is only clone correct for an M38 DMRized M27 IAR. Most of the original SPR and Mk12 optics had 62gr M855 turrets. Later some 77gr turrets mah have been custom ordered from custom shop. Eventually the 262 turrets on the M2 equipped scopes did show up, maybe around when the TMR showed up in 05 or 06. Vari-X III = 62gr M3 turrets TS-30 = 62gr M3 turrets TS-30A2 3-9 M3 = 62gr M3 turrets, maybe some custom or unit, or even testing 77gr turrets at some point. TS-30A2 2.5-8 M2 = Mk12 Mod 1 marked 77gr M2 turrets Somewhere in there too is when SOCOM stopped acquiring Mk12s and the Marines did, around 2009 or 2010 apparently. Marine Mod 1s seem to heavily show non labeled 3-9 or 2.5-8 MR/Ts." With that being said a truly correct Nightforce will equally be as difficult, unless you find an army or nav spec marked Nightforce, as correct contracted Nightforce 2.5-10x24 had mildot reticles and low speed MOA turrets. |

Thank you. I remember reading that post but then see a lot of people getting the 112633 anyway. So basically its not "clone correct" but is one of the few options that is really close due to the actual scopes being nearly unobtainium. I may end up going that route myself since the NF option that comes in stock at EO on occasion is in the same boat of not correct but close. I appreciate your help. |

Bought one about a month ago from OP. On DD's website they call them the "commercial" gas block to differentiate the newer pinned gas blocks. The "commercial" gb uses setscrews like God intended.  OP was about $10 cheaper, and in stock, vs DD. |

What is the preferred method of timing a AEMB muzzle break mount on a USGI take off 9 04 Mk12 barrel?
The small instructions sheet that was packed with a recent Capitol Armory muzzle break refers to using loctite. The Capitol Armory package came with a large shim/spacer and multiple smaller shims, no crush washer. Previous posts reference the Government as using crush washers. I never gave it a lot of thought until seeing the horror photos of the seized muzzle break that needed a Dremel to remove it off the barrel. If it is timed with a starting point of around 10 o'clock does it matter whether I use shims only with loctite or crush washer and shim(s) to time it? Shims alone...crush washer...combination of shims and a crush washer, loctite or rockset or just oil on the threads? Just wondering which camp I should belong to? I just don't want to mess up my take off Mk12 barrel and wouldn't want the break spinning off the barrel while staying inside the AEM5.

Never had a problem with either. My current setups used a drop of rockset with the large spacer and shims to time it. |

I'm a hoarder for parts, so I wouldn't trade out, but yes.. the NF was worth the investment I think.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for an AEM5 suppressor, there are 2 listed on Gunbroker.
https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search?Keywords=AEM5 I am NOT in any way affiliated with the seller, just noticed it during my usual sweep. |

Thanks for the heads up. No BIN option, so could get nuts depending how bad folks want one, but I may throw my hat in on it if DSG doesn't get back to me shortly and price stays reasonable. Otherwise I'll hold my backorder, LOL. Thanks for the lead. On a side note, regarding the Pelican 1700 foam, has anyone cut their own? I've seen folks that have bought milsurp or special ordered foam precut, but has anyone tried to cut their own? If so, would you mind posting some pics or if I overlooked them in this thread post a page #? Thanks!! |

I'm not sure how deep you are going into the 12 hole, however, I'd, and believeeee me I know this is hard, but I'd hold out for a surplus 12 case to pop up. They've been doing so here and there for a year now. If you find yourself 100% dedicated to doing your own at some point, I'm happy to give you exact dimensions off my issued one. In the meantime, yay case!
