Nice rifle.
Is your PRS stock the pre-production or the production model? |

So what's it called? The munyguru mk13 mod 2 baddass edition?
Very very nice man. Extremely nice in fact. I'd take that over a Mk 12 Mod 1. Talk about reaching out to 600+ yards |
|
WOW, very nice.
More pics are in order if you want more compliments from me. |

Muny, how do you like the Socom lowers? I really like the looks but they are expensive.
|

I bought them direct from SOCOM Mfg. Actually I bought one of the lowers off of the EE and the rest from SOCOM. If you send them your carrier they will modify it for you to accept the side charger. It requires milling a 1/8x 1/8x 1/2 inch channel in the side front of the carrier. I just checked and it looks like their website is down right now. The lower also has three set screws in it. Two are for the trigger adjustment (nice that you can tune the trigger without pulling the lower apart) and one in the rear just above the pistol grip backstrap to adjust tension on the upper to lower mating surface (no more Accu-Wedge). The safety detent and spring are also captured with a set screw inside. All standard lower parts kits work in these. |

Who is SOCOM Diamond? Are they a manufacturer and do they have a website? Sweet Rifle by the way.

Very nice looking rifle. Did you refinish the lower?
They are a manufacturer but I think they may be closing. They just did a new run of the lowers out of Fortal aluminum which is about equal to 7075 T6 aluminum in strength. I was told by the owner the new run serial numbers start with 1 thousand. I think they sold the new run to someone already. I bought one of the new ones in the white a few weeks ago and had it hard coated by Techplate in CA. I was really happy with the job Techplate did and they got the lower back to me in about 2 1/2 weeks here at Christmas time. |

Yes, she is a bit on the heavy side. 12.5 pounds fully dressed. It really makes it a dream to shoot but not carry around.
I refinished both uppers and lowers. The used lower that I got on the EE had a very poor finish job done on it. Looked like it was painted by hand with lots of dirt in it. I stripped it and refinished it along with the new upper receiver for a perfect match. I refinished the other upper and lower because, even though they were anodized at the mfg., they had that purple hue to them. Can't have that!

Correct, the new run is supposed to be space age strength, space shuttle type stuff. I have the starting serial number when they changed over around here somewhere, I will try to dig it up. I did not hear that they were closing up. That is really too bad. Guess I am glad I got mine when I did. |

Got a question for you: I really like the way the rifle looks CONGRATS! I want to have a similar one built myself using a 20" RRA NM flat top rifle..... but I can't understand why you have so much clearance between your scope and the BUIS. I have a 2x-7x scope in a Larue SPR base that is mounted on my Colt 6721 carbine flat top, and the low profile #40 ARMS BUIS barely clears the scope eyepiece. It actually rubs against the BUIS. Is the SOCOM reciever built with a higher plane then my Colt that is giving you more clearance? |
|
The Troy rear BUIS is a low profile sight sort of like the ARMS 40L. The standard ARMS 40 is higher and may give clearance issues. Also, the ARMS 35QD w/ med rings is about .20 higher than my Larue SPR mount. These two things combined gives the scope the clearance that you see. I think that if you changed over to a Troy or ARMS 40L that you will be just fine as far as clearance of your scope. I am changing the scope mount on this rifle over to the Larue myself and it measures out just fine. |

Holy $@#*!!! That is freaking sweet!
I agree we need more pics. You could always send the rifle to me and I could |
|
Yes, I see that you already have the Larue SPR on your 6.8 SPC. That's the clearance I'm looking at in your photo. Like I said, my ARMS 40Low profile BUIS rubs against the scope objective with that same set up! EDIT: I checked the various scope manufacturers specs and found that your scope must be of a 39MM eyepiece or smaller, while mine is a 40mm and will rub and make contact. (1.54" vs 1.58") One is well advised to research the eye piece dimensions before buying an expensive scope, and discovering it will not clear the sights when mounted in a Larue. I will only buy Larue. Nice rifle! I plan on closely following the example. |

Damn you.
<----------- Now calling uber-cool tactical retailer to order the Larue mount pictured.
