Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By teamjawbox: I’ve got both and prefer the HCS if for no other reason than the coating is more accurate for a clone. That said, the last barrel I got from Kevin a couple years ago is prob the nicest 18” MK12 barrel I own and as mentioned the finish is more correct for the mod 0/mod 1 also. I have both and both are nice. I just prefer the detail HCS adds with the more correct coating on the barrel. All things being equal just comes down to whether the coating matters to you. Other than that not much difference. Neither have the correct exterior chamber profile these days. So I like having that extra detail of the more correct finish. And I think HCS is cheaper price than PRI these days. The OG gray definitely has a vibe to it and it is actually a bit cheaper as you mentioned. Did you have any trouble getting the gas block on over the gunkoat? I have heard it it's a very tight fit. Did the gas block dimples line up with your gas block? |

Slightly easier than the PRI or BA barrels, though that could have been from the gas block itself. I mean, still went on tight no doubt (as all do), but I didn’t have to fight as much as I remembered fighting on the PRI, especially a BA barrel I had at one point. Again, just have just been due to different weather or the gas block. I used a surplus take off coronet/crane on the HCS and some taps with a plastic punch pin and a rubber mallet and it was in place without much fuss. I can’t remember on the dimples, I’ll have to look. Can’t remember off the top of my head if it only came with one and I drilled the other myself, or if it came with two. I’ll try and look through some pics to see. Pic for pic thread:  Attached FileETA: Only pic I’m finding of when I got the barrel is this one. I’ll take a peek underneath later and see if I can discern if I drilled the dimples myself.  Attached FileETA 2: Found another pic. Looks like it wasn’t dimpled so I apparently drilled them myself.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: Could extend your lethality rage by adding some paint. Maybe. But it would come off on my seats since this usually sits in my truck when checking crops. Originally Posted By towerofpower94: Pics of deer? I’ve read elsewhere the 77gr TMKs do hell on deer. Makes sense, based on the top and thin-ish jacket. It’s not much to see from the outside. Tiny entrance, maybe a quarter size exit. If they were close it doesn’t exit and just frags the chest. I usually do neck shots if they’re close enough. Those are tiny hole in and half dollar exit but it turns the neck into goop. Haven’t seen one go more than 100 yards (no heart and no lungs they still can book it). Shot over a dozen deer in the last year with this bullet. Can’t say there’s a mammal in North America that’ll tank a 77 TMK to the chest or neck area inside 300 yards. MK12 is a really great field rifle for hunting clearcut areas. I just want to add an offset Aimpoint to this one. The NXS F1 reticle on 3.5 power is way too fine. |

Won’t matter as much on a mod 1 since the FSGB isn’t there to butt up against the long collar. I’d personally go HCS or PRI but some others out there that are popular as well. |

Depends on your facial structure for the height for cheek weld. I'd do 1.5" 0 moa for sure. 1.375" is the best cheek weld with a Sopmod for me. 50mm will clear on 1.375" depending on what caps your gonna run. Tenebraex might not clear. |

I will run the tenebraex most likely. I ordered the 1.54 c1 mount. If for some reason it doesn't work for me I'll do a 1.7, but most of shooting with thus will either be prone or bench most likely as I have my carbines for everything else. Pretty sure I have everything ordered now. |
