These are 3 layers, 2 thick, and a thin bottom. At least the bottom set. Every cut you see, I can remove the 2nd layer. So I can pull out all the cuts and someone can trace them sometime. Wait till I get the others in.
Edit for page ownage. H fits real snug too.

Was discussed a few pages back - can't take credit for this, but here is a template you can order from http://www.mycasebuilder.com/ Call and ask for Hani - It's spendy, $170 I think it was, but it's premium foam and you will get the exact dimensions as the original MK12 foam. Edit - found it, credit to Firejareen, this was his template he worked with them on quite a bit to get it right. http://i.imgur.com/URJ2fCxh.png I remembered seeing that. It'd be nice though to get someone with the issued case's dimensions/measurements and compare/tweak the template to get it exactly right. I believe that is exactly what Firejareen did, worked off an existing mil foam piece - but will let him confirm. |

I remember their website had them up for that price earlier in the year. Since I had just purchased the mk4 version, I didn't jump on it. Went back a few days later and out of stock. Shoulda just did it. |

I'm finished with the clone game tho. I've got a house that needs to be finished, a jeep that needs lovin, and a ring so I can file for divorce again in a few years. I needed to get 2 more rifles in before the elections, because we know what happens during times like this. My focus will now continue to be on stocking reloading supplies so I can still shoot match grade ammo while everyone is fighting over the last box of Russian steel cased at Wally World.

Should throw in bergara too. I could actually get ahold of a Douglass now that I think about it, I know a man. I've never heard of Bergara before, huh. I figure with that selection alone it would take me until January to do a truly fair, non bias test. -First I'll have to do latter test with different powders and bullets to find out what each barrel shoots the best, since barrel potential is what we really care about. -I'll take out as many variables as possible by weighing each case which will be new, shooting off of a sled indoors to take out the human and atmosphere variables as much as possible, waiting exactly a minute between shots so all conditions are all the exact same. -I'll use the same upper which will be "trued", same lower, same scope and rings. I think this is doable to get a more scientific style test to get some usable data. |

I am looking to put together a ModH chambered in 300 blackout for deer season here in Indiana. If anyone here could give me some direction and advice as to if this is even possible, I would greatly appreciate it. 1) Does AE manufacture a 30 cal brake and collar similar to the AEMB? 2) Who would be my best bet at getting a "mk12 profile" 16" match barrel from, specifically for 125g TMKs?

Any of you guys with CAR stocks do any precision shooting with them on? I keep going back and forth about stocks. I like the CAR, but the last time I tried to shoot it from the bench, it wasn't doing my any favors. Just curious if you have some tips on what you do. I do have a rubber buttpad I can throw on there and that might help.
I like it because it's light and it helps make my recce lighter. And I don't mind it shooting off hand or just sitting or whatever. But when really trying to dial in, the others are better. But maybe there's a technique I don't know that can help. Awww crap, top of page.

Well there's that, but my bigger concern is how to keep it from moving around or getting locked in on the set up tight. I guess it is what it is, I'll have to experiment if I wanna keep it on there for shooting groups. I need a better rear bag set up. |

I've produced plenty of sub MOA groups at 100yds and have gotten consistent hits out to 700+ and even one at 800 (12" plate) a month or so ago. I can't think of why it would make any difference unless you think you're not getting enough LOP to get proper eye relief? Other than that it's just a piece of plastic that sits in my shoulder. I definitely do more prone shooting than bench shooting though. Although the 100yd groups are usually from a bench. Either way though, I'm not sure any of our experiences are going to mean much. If you shoot better with a different stock them use it!! If you want to keep things light, you could try a waffle - they're about just as light but have a longer toe on them. The Magpul CTR is a great choice. And of course you could try something with a good cheek rest like the SOPMOD or ACS but then you're adding weight. I'd just try out a few different things and stick with whatever works.

On another note: back to the 3.5-15 NF. What's the difference between the one marked Army spec and the one marked milspec? I found one locally the dude will let me have for 1250.00. It's marked milspec. |

Also, lemme know if you have issues getting the safety to fit flush. Mine is pissing me off, about to try and swap the ones from my other 2 rifles in to see if it's the selector itself. Really might just neuter an A1 from Apex. |

Did capital get more AEM5's in? I bought 2 out of the last batch. I need to get up there and file my form 4 on my NT4. It's going to be in Torrey's hands any day. It's on form 3 from B3 Armament now. On another note: back to the 3.5-15 NF. What's the difference between the one marked Army spec and the one marked milspec? I found one locally the dude will let me have for 1250.00. It's marked milspec. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Samson-Dogg:

I did the same from Nodak with a longview towards one day having both a mod 1 and a mod H complete. We'll see if that ever happens but I'm not gonna give up - even with the many temptations from sooo many other wants That's the truth on all the other temptations. Funny you ask because these will actually complete a Mod 1 and a Mod H. I had my Mod 1 on an a2 lower and got tired of the jealousy. Saw the deal and decided to do the Mod H right as well. Also switching to an A1 stock on the Mod 1 with ARMS rings. I cheated a little and got lever stop with the NF x32... I've got everything ready except for the Mod 1 front sight, Mod H brake, and suppressors (hoping to head up to Capital Armory Friday and start the paperwork)! Did capital get more AEM5's in?

Also, lemme know if you have issues getting the safety to fit flush. Mine is pissing me off, about to try and swap the ones from my other 2 rifles in to see if it's the selector itself. Really might just neuter an A1 from Apex. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lancecriminal86:

Yeah it was pricey but they don't come around often and I saved some money on some other things so I had a little spending room. Plus I don't live in a friendly state so for me its all about buy once cry once. No I am building a mod 0 but the swan sleeve I have right now is the #38 spr mod1.....I need a peq-2-3. Thats the last hard to find part on the list. |

With it mounted to the front of the receiver, the mount stops directly over the locking collar on the RAS. Just looks right. |

Did ergo change their grips? One of mine is curved on the bottom. The new one is more squared up.

What unmount are you all using? The recon or extra/ultra high? I'm thinking about going in that direction for a 2.5-8 and prefer to shoot NTCH.

I'm an impatient cuss. It says it cures in an hour and I waited like 5 (not the planned 24). It hardened up and sanded fine so I don't think it was affected at all by only a 5 hour wait. Here are the results:
Feels pretty smooth. I bet with a coat of paint, they'll disappear. |

Speaking of which, anybody around the Austin TX area interested in teaching a dude how to paint a rifle? |
