16.5” rifle length gas is what I have on my precision rig and that’s using a Spikes gas block which has the collar built in front.

A Mk12 is a rifle length system and the gas block is fully visible out in front of the long RAS.

Boredom/ADD maybe? Some folks love the process of specing everything, getting the parts in and assembled. Then they shoot it a few times but revert back to something else and it ends up sitting.

ETA: It's also Christmas, so maybe they're offloading them to free up some cash for presents.

I agree, I ended up selling my upper because I had two, but I can see people getting bored, especially with the 11.5-12.5 being the hotness right now.

HNNNNNNGGGG! I just secured a Colt 14.5 upper, just need an MRE to round out the little brother to your Recce. I like the gold standard clone, but these offshoot clones tug on the panties with just a little more finesse. Now to get the paperwork started on an NT4 hopefully in January or February.

I can’t decide between a seal Recce or a mk12 Mod 1 right now. I am leaning toward The mod 1 because there is an ITW pic of a Mod H with an ACOG and I want to build it. This is swaying me the other way. I like this look too.

H is pretty awesome and I've only just recenty picked this one up so I don't know how it shoots compared to my H.

I've been working on a Recce and Mod 1 for some time now simultaneously. Definitely slows things down but it's helped find some damn good deals. I can almost see the finish line.

Next up: optics. Been putting this off until the end because I wasn't sure which route to take. For the Recce I have the upper, barrel, and lower in the
very early 2000s. Which makes me lean toward Leupy VX-III 2.5-8. I'm sure the clone gods will show me the way.

Compass Lake makes good stuff, but they’ve had problems with getting the flush fit if you are particular about that. If I end up doing the Grendel Recce I’m planning, the barrel will be going to D. Wilson for the chop.

Soon... Very soon. Colt AF and Gen 1 SOPMOD. Still haven't decided on optic, but now that overthinking has set in, I'm not sure whatever I pick will stick around. I have thought about going outside the box and slapping an Aimpoint 7000SC (released 2001 so right in line with the barrel stamp date of 05/01) in some Nightforce A203 rings, but as cool as that sounds I imagine pitchforks and torches coming out

I have an Aimpoint 5000 but I'm keeping that in my Operation Gothic Serpent rig.
