Here’s one I don’t think has been covered as far as I have read in here: anyone see any scope mounted bubble levels mounted to a Mk12 in the wild? If not then what are typical scope mounted bubble levels on any of the other scopes military rifles? (M110, Mk13, M40 variants etc.)

I was going to hold out on the pictures until I get my Eagle TAS-1 sling received and mounted, but I'm getting antsy to post on here. Here is what I was able to piece together, did what I could on the early production parts. 22h nls, front buis with the early (long) clamp, bipod adapter - pre NSN # with long clamp. Would like to find myself some more early parts down the line, but I'm happy with what I've been able to do so far. (I know my scope caps are incorrect, I like the Aluma caps more than the Butler Creek caps)

Recently I posted a comment about the trickier installation of some of the ARMS rails. It occurred to me I've never seen it mentioned how to install these, so I figured I would do a little photo outline detailing it. So the later ARMS rails comes with this little nub here, circled in red.
 This nub prevents the rail from being rolled in to position unless it's this far forward on the receiver. 
This presents a problem, because the collar of the Gen III tube is in the way. This gives you only this much room to work with, so the nub can't clear the receiver. 
Now I've seen them filed down on a few examples here, but there's another way about getting the rail on the tube without modifying the #38. But it'll require you having the PRi collar wrench versus my preferred method of a strap wrench. 
Break the collar loose, and align it roughly around here. 
This will allow the #38 to drop right in. Interestingly, the rail is exactly the width of two of the cutouts, and requires dropping in to each on both sides. 
Then the rail can be slid in to its proper position on the receiver. I didn't bother taking any more pictures from this point forward, because its more or less straight forward. That said, you'll have to torque the collar back in to position with the wrench and see where the #38 fits in relation to the top rail on the Gen III. You will have to loosen the collar again to remove the SWAN sleeve to make adjustments forward/aft on the PRi rail. Took me a couple tries until I was satisfied with where the PRi top rail was and it all screwed together. |

Much as I hate to do it, as these have sat in the safe for almost a year, always seem to grab other rifles now that I've gotten into PRS. Had some unexpected expenses come up, so I've listed my Mod 0 and Mod 1 in the EE. Will sell Uppers only or Complete setups. PM any questions or if pricing seems out of line :).
