Are the gen 1 ace socoms still a thing in here? Or the old issued mk12 cases?
Used to be hot and heavy in this thread but it's been a fortnite. Kinda got out of the clone world, but my H still has some of the OG bits on it. Need some glass for my newer sticks |

market is just about dead so if you want rare parts they are had for pretty great prices right now, but selling just sucks. I'm sure people with those ff ras rails are gonna get desperate enough to take under 500 soon.

Any tips on installing the muzzle device? I’ve got a White Oak Armament barrel and am trying to get the Badger Ordnance gas block on but it won’t budge past the first inch. I’ve tried heating it with a torch but still no luck. Now I can’t even get it back off.

Now I can’t even get it back off. Gas block or muzzle device? If gasblock my badger just slid over my barrel no problem. If the measurements are to spec I would only suggest using a rawhide mallet or a wood block and a hammer and tap it off or on. |

The shorter podlock is preferable IMO because when carrying these slung, if you ever forget to rotate the podloc to your strongside you will get stabbed by the thing. From experience it's painful.

I have a Pelican 1700 and looking to built out a deployment kit. Where do I get the foam insert? I saw a YouTube video where a guy got his from onyxarms.com but they have been out of stock for 6-7 months. What about cobra foam inserts? They seem not as correct and the color and material seems off.

Closed cell vs open cell, etc. if someone wants to pay for shipping and a box I’d gladly mail them the cobra set I purchased back then as it just takes up space sitting in the garage. Prob ok for non-clone use, but that’s about it. I dunno if @Ringer706 is doing another run of his repro (which is where Onyx supply came from) but that’s the route to go hands down.

On a whim I ordered a centurion receiver set and think I need a mk12 now. Since CLE is off the table who do yall recommend for the best mk12 barrel that’s semi readily available? (Cradock is 8mo out which is longer than I prefer to wait). I’m looking at Centurion, pri, hcs, or cradock rtr. Had originally planned to do a woa but after piles of reading it sounds like they’re semi hit or miss. I’m willing to spend the extra dollars for ultimate accuracy. So who do yall recommend?

What sort of real world accuracy are y’all seeing from them with decent 77gr ammo?

I didn't measure (or save) my targets when zeroing it and I wasn't trying to make tiny little groups, but I can say with confidence that they were right at an inch. Maybe a touch more. AAC 77gr. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Remington1992: What sort of real world accuracy are y’all seeing from them with decent 77gr ammo? My Mod 0 and Mod H are hovering around 1” five shot groups with my 77gr TMK handloads. ETA: I used the Mod H at last weekend’s 2G match and I placed 5th and 10th out of 70 shooters in the two long range stages. Nearly went 1:1 on steel from 150-388yds in unconventional positions. The Mod 0 just puts the rounds where they should go.  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Remington1992: What sort of real world accuracy are y’all seeing from them with decent 77gr ammo? What's considered 'real world' accuracy? Outdoor range and not shooting from a rifle sled? I haven't really cleaned or took proper care of my barrels, but if I take my time I can keep the group right around an inch at 100 yards with IMI Razor Core. I remember Federal FC262 was pretty good also, but I ran out. |

I'd love to have range to stretch it out. Right now I have to use a 10' 2x4 with the base weighed down with cinder blocks to clear terrain at 260.
