Nope, KOBK has that one now. This came with the upper. It was sold to Lancecriminal then sold to me. It most definitely came from the same place as the one you sold to me though.

What do you all think of this MK12 barrel profile? It seems spot on for a MK12 barrel to me but want second opinions.

I keep missing out on 30mm LT-104. I think I want to try one but I am worried about the visual look of them on the Holland. I JUST waited too long on one for $150 and its gone. I love my recce rail but sometimes I wanna try a unimount setup.

I'm a PRI guy. Mod 0 or H only for me :D.







The VX-R looks great. Too bad the reticle seems too thick compared to my Mark AR and a Mk4 or i'd buy one today!

Shitty excuse sir. Correct answer is you're a MK12 guy...

I still get plenty of hits, hasn't bothered me. I own/have owned some pretty nice optics. I almost always prefer shooting the VXR/ mod H combo.

Edit: anyone needing a short collar, hit me up. I've got 2 painted, 1 unpainted.

I was leaning the same way. The cut carrel I had didn't have enough room for the 1 5/8 needed for the can. Looks like this one won't run the aem5

Today was a good day. I found $100 bucks in my car I forgot about, send my OPS inc brake and collar to a local barrel company to get a MK12 prototype barrel made up and scored a KAC mk18/mk12 front sight for $120 shipped.

That picture is dedicated to everyone who ever wanted a genI mod0.  





Have no fear; it must get worse before it gets better.
Although I will admit, it's pretty damn bad right now.

I had a cut barrel and to maintain the the required 1 5/8" for the can- that's all I could get for threads. The collar is right up against the gas block.  I still only get 4 turns on the can.  I can either try running it like this or just rule out using a can in this build.

Maybe you can have the collar shortened and the shoulder on which it sits pushed back?

That's a good idea. Really the only option besides a new barrel.

There is 1/16th of an inch gap between the collar and gas block so it is touching the step.  I think I may try cutting a collar though and bring the thread shoulder down.  I appreciate the offer.

Machine off the rear of the collar...Basically making it shorter. Then machine the inside to make it sit further back.



It would be the cheapest.

Hell, I am swapping my 6 pos extention for a 4 pos cause the 6 is BOTHERING ME because its not spec LOL. shit will keep you up at night. Last week I almost bought ARMS rings, and my nightforce is acceptable....but no "throwlevesrbro". it's never ending lol.

Utah yeah that 42 aint streamlined enough for me either, looks weird. lol.

I have a Generic Mil-spec  6 and a Colt 4 position should I use the Colt 4 on my Mod1?



My Colt upper receiver finally shipped too so I have all the pieces now to send off to have my Mod1 built.  

I'm only read up to page 375 so fill me in on the scopes for the Mod 1. I have a NF 2.5-10x32 MIL/MIL and ARMS High rings

I've seen it posted there have been 32's spotted?

My Leupold 67945 will be here tomorrow to get my Mod 0 a little closer. Got rid of the NF x42. Thinking either an A1 or SOPMOD for it to replace the A2  that I have on it now.

Replaced the PRI rear sight with the ARMS 40. I'm thinking about starting the hunt for the proper Swan Sleeve. I know its going to cost me but I would really like to replace it after seeing the 2(PRI/ARMS) side by side. PRI could have done a better job if you ask me.

I still don't have the balls to take the krylon leap. It seems inevitable though. Cringing bad

Never seen a picture of one, I think Alan Brown (HCS) claimed they were being used on mod1's though.



And I fixed that for you too.

Well cross that off the list. I just gotta wait for my brake and collar to come back and I'll get some krylon and just go for it. How hard is it to strip kyrlon or do you just go over it again?

Optimal thread length is 0.475". This places the muzzle right at the the opening of the break (preferred). A few thousandths proud or set back is acceptable.

What you have pictured there, is not.

Easy as pie.



If you change your mind quick enough, you won't even have to scrub.

I bet it's not even on the shoulder. I'll send ya a collar that you can shave down and play with.

Spikes Tactical used to sell a gas block with a built in 20 degree taper at the front end. However, there are schools of thought, mainly from Ron Allen himself, that collars contacting gas blocks are less than desirable and could cause issues with concentricity and alignment of the can which will result in loss of accuracy, or worse, damage to the can.

A shorter collar or custom collar may be your last resort.

Tape off and lay paint. Laquer thinner removes it with a rag.

Professional paint jobs are not welcome in here, by God. Lay that motherfucker on the shop floor and hose it with Rustoleum. Then do your best to wear it off in all the right spots.

I should have looked at this awhile ago but never did.

Are the tubes or mounts machined for an angle? I've got a M IV Leopold and cranked all the way down still hits high @ 100.

That's disheartening.

It's a high caliber sales Mod 0 with ARMS rings. Might be time to look at a change of rings.
