Don't remember if this has been posted here or not, but it's one of my faves. This is from ADCO's industry forum (tacked thread).
These were real deal Mk 12 uppers being produced for SOCOM. Steve's (bigbore) original post as follows: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_130/143864_Creation_of_a_REAL_SPR.html Gotta have barrels And upper receivers Torque, check and retorque the barrel nut Install the gas block and gas tube Install the locking pins for the FF RAS Tighten the screws on the gas block Install the OPS INC collar Snug up the OPS INC brake Check headspace Uppers ready to test fire (note lack of fancy bolt carrier) Load the mags After a successful test firing, the OPS thread protector is installed and they are ready to go. I have a question about installing the brake: is there any worry about damaging the barrel extension pin from torquing the brake? |

View Quote I don't think you have to worry about the barrel extension pin as much as the aluminum groove in the upper. I know KAC an Geissele make a tool that holds the barrel by locking into the lugs for just this reason. Im not sure how common it is as Im sure the vast majority of muzzle devices are installed the way you see above. Thanks for reposting those pictures. Another interesting note is the barrels in the pic. Some or all are profiled for the PRI FS/GB. |

Another interesting note is the barrels in the pic. Some or all are profiled for the PRI FS/GB. I think you're right. I installed it on my current upper without any issues but was always curious. I guess if it's good enough for thousands of the real deal uppers, it should be fine for me. I noticed those grooves too but couldn't tell what they were. That makes sense. |

Since the Mod1 is still down, thought I'd post up a little Holland goodness.
Forum member Eyekhan shot this group with his own hand-loaded 55gr stuff at 100y. That's 0.69" without the cold bore, cold can flier; with the flier, it's 1.91". Haven't yet seen what this gun will do with good match-grade ammo, so we'll do that next time. If you're still doubting the Bison barrels, you're a putz. Brother on the trigger while I'm filming. Aaand a little pistol work while we're at it. Cheers y'all. |

First post. Been following for a good amount of time. Getting close to completing my mk12 mod1 build. Just scored a Knight's Armament KAC Mk12 Mod 1 FF RAS 5.56 Match Rifle Length Long Rail P/N: 99167, not the current civilian production P/N: 21318. Just one more piece to the puzzle.
