Well, here is where I currently am on my Mk. 12 Mod. 0 journey. What I have spec'd out here is basically a late Mod. 0.

Now that I am settled in on my deployment, I can start hunting down some of these parts.

* Handguard- Precision Reflex Gen III carbon fiber free-float handguard, rifle length
* FSB: PRi folding FSB, set-screw, .750
* Charging handle: PRi Gas Buster M-84 with military latch
* Muzzle device: OPS Inc. 12th Model brake/collar, and 12th Model suppressor [Allen              Engineering AEM5 and brake/collar]
* Rear iron sight: A.R.M.S. #40
* Optic: Leupold 3-9x36mm TS-30, Mk4 MR/T 2.5-8x36mm TS-30A2, M2 turrets with Mk262 BDC, illuminated TMR reticle
* Dewey coated one-piece cleaning rod 22CF-30
* Blackhawk TAS-1 Sling
* Mildot Master Range Computer 5960576

Parts that I have:
* Lower- M16A1 pattern (Brownells BRN-16A1)
* Grip- A2
* A.R.M.S. #38 SPR-PEQ-2-3 Sleeve
* Scope Rings: A.R.M.S. #22 Medium rings (No Lever Stops)

The PEQ-2 rail as issued is different than the later PEQ-2 rails, but it looks acceptable. This early rifle I put together has a 2-3 rail with the gap filled in.  I truly detest PRi's Gen II repro handguard, but if you're not interested in it looking exact, it'll do just fine. Originals are damned near unobtainium.  There's a machinist on the FB clone group that is making early gen sight towers that you can use with a current base.

Good luck and have fun building.

Hunterex, are both those yours, I have to agree I'm not that fond of the Gen 2 tube PRI introduced but it is, what it is. But that top rifle you pictured, well damn, I guess all I can say is that's the cats meow. Now I might spend a little money if I could parts for that.

Just looking for clarification.

Lurp06x, trying to dig up something positive, as you mentioned the early Mk12 Mod O's sported the Versapod or a Harris 9-13 1A2-LM non swivel. I haven't seen any pictures that clearly show a 6-9 non swivel model on a Mod 0. Appendix A for the MK12 mod 1 calls for the 6-9 swivel notched legs (HBRS). I have seen a few pics were the 9-13 was mounted without either the KAC or ARMS bipod adapter, which seemed a little unusual.

I think I saw Bravo Company had the PRI tube last night in stock.  But the only color in stock is the "natural".  Where it kind of looks like.....  a pattern of some sort.  If you're going to paint it...........

I'm making my first foray into cloning with a Mod 0. I've read a fair amount of this thread, but I'm still not clear on the muzzle device. Can someone explain long collar vs. short collar and what is the difference between the Allen Engineering AEMB Mount that ADCO sells vs the OPS Inc. version?

AE was making the OPS Inc stuff under contract. So the AE is pretty much the same thing. On the collars it was a stacking of tolerances and different prints being used for the barrels, apparently.  But I still stand by   fact that also some of the later pri sights had a thicker front leg that pushed the collar foward of the step that it was supposed to stop on... hence  the shorter rear end on the short collar.  ADCO figured it out and called us out on our sucky deduction skills at the time.   I know for a fact I had like 5 PRI sights at one time, and some had the thicker leg... which I sold  as they were the clamp version anyway.

Got sick of my parts sitting in the closet all this time(probably 1.5 years) and decided to assemble my upper and lower.  Fulton fooked me and didnt include the trigger guard and trigger guard pin with my LPK.  Got the upper done and lower finished with ergo and SSA-E all ready to be done up but no trigger guard lol.  I still have to get the brake and charging handle.  Is it a sin to use a NiB BCG?

ADCO has the PRI FF tubes in black.  FWIW.  Although there is no picture so one might have to double check it's the right thing.

Lol I used to run NIB's but switch to Colt BCG's for correctness in my MK12/MK18, but now that I'm shooting suppressed (finally) that is some dirty dirty shit so might swap back to a NIB on the down low

There's so much to learn, and so much history behind this platform. But all of that being said, I feel it's time for me to jump in head first. I've been working on my Mod 1 for a while now, and I'm finally getting close.

I ended up snagging something on eBay only the readers here would properly appreciate. I ended up getting them for a great price. Here they are:



Here's what the build looks like so far, I realize a few things are off, but it's just a dry fit for pictures, dont' worry.  



BCG, Upper/Lower Receiver: Take off from a Colt LE6920
Charging Handle: PRI gasbuster (incoming)
Barrel: Douglas 18" SPR (on order at CLE)
Gas Block: DD MK12
Muzzle Brake/Collar: Allen Engineering AEMB
Buttstock: B5 Enhanced SOPMOD
Buffer system: Vltor A5
End plate: CQD Rear Sling Plate (incoming as well)
Trigger: Geissele SSA-E (still need to buy this)
Pistol Grip: Colt A2, Ergo Grip incoming
Safety: KAC Ambi safety
Scope: Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24
Scope Rings: A.R.M.S #22L non lever stop
Foregrip: KAC
Bipod: Harris BRS
Bipod Mount: A.R.M.S #32

I'll be placing an offset MRD. I haven't determined which, but I'm looking at Trijicon RMR, Burris Fastfire III, Doctersight III, and a Leupold Deltapoint. I'm not sure if the offset mount will fit under my scope, but we'll see.

That being said, if anyone has a beat on some non-lever stop A.R.M.S. #22Ms, I would be VERY interested and willing to pay! They're essentially the last thing I need for this to be perfectly complete in my eyes.

Any insight/opinions/thoughts are more than welcome and appreciated. Thanks for helping me out with this, even if I haven't been vocal/contributing as much as I should in here. I'm still trying to catch up!

Not a typo, but a nice catch by you, nonetheless. Not running BUIS, so I don't need the clearance. Only thing that won't be spec on the gun. I prefer lower mounts, anywho. If I can run the MRD offset with the lows, I will, but I think the mediums are probably the best of both worlds. The MRD offset mount is incoming so it's a waiting game. I'd still like to grab a set of non lever 22Ms, if I can.

On the plus side, more 22Hs for the rest of my fellow Mod 1'ers.

Interesting mount set up.  He kind of looks like Marcus Lutrelle.

I don't think I've seen a CAR stock on a Mod 1 before.

I have a Mod H, RECCE rail and NF low mount rings which comes out to around 1.40"

With my NF x24 scope, I have to be in the perfect position on the stock to get a proper sight picture...it's very unforgiving. You move just slightly and you'll see the shadow on either side of the scope view.

I always try to go lowest as possible but even my combo gets a little tight....and you're going for a setup .25" lower.

It might feel perfect when you hold the rifle up/shoot standing but soon as you get into a prone/benchrest position, it gets a bit tight/uncomfortable.

Just something to think about. Everyones body is different so that combo may feel comfortable for you. I would just try different shooting positions to make sure that Medium + X24 combo is going to work.

Trust me, I hear ya. I know how touchy the x24 already is out of the box. I have yet to try it prone, and I already think I'll have problems mounting the Ls with a offset rail underneath. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on parts to dry fit it all out and see how it'll feel. Barrel will be the last thing to come, but I'm still waiting on an endplate, once I throw the stock on, I'll throw the scope on top and get prone with it, as that's something I haven't done yet. Thanks for suggesting that.

As you might be able to tell from my earlier post, I'm not too optimistic about the 22Ls. That being said, I couldn't resist the deal I got them for. They weren't listed as the Ls, and the seller had no idea what he had, especially when I asked what they were marked on the bottom. Which explains why they were listed so poorly. If nothing else, I got some cool non-lever stops that I should be able to move to a good home on here. But as you can probably see, I'm very much looking for a set of both 22Ms and 22Ls without the lever stops. I'd kill for em if anyone has got a set of either.

I appreciate the heads up, though. If nothing else, I'm excited just to get this thing pieced together to test out the eye relief/paint the sumbitch!

Haven't seen that one before. It looks like the receiver has a CQD mount installed. I wonder if he threw the mk12 upper on a Mk18 lower or just had a carbine stock and CQD mount installed.

I keep going back and forth over putting a collapsable stock on my Mk12 or an A1. It's almost complete, all I need is collar, bipod, backup sights, and a1 or sopmod. Just can't decide. If I could decide which one I wanted I would go ahead and order it lol.

Old, already in the master archive.

One of a small handful of definite Mk12 upper on M4A1 lower pics. It's been long known that guys did it.

No one is obligated I just don't want to give your manual to someone else if you still want one.

MOD 1 MANUALS

TINMAN44
JSY_1977
GUNNUT003
TAHOELT
ENGLE12626

I think I'm down to 18-19 mod 0/1 manuals and unless one of the guys listed in the mod 1 list does not want a mod 1 manual,all those are spoken for.

Anybody have a PRI set screw front sight you want to sell or trade for a cross bolt? Not a wheeled sight I have that. I need the regular sight but with set screws. I can't remember why I got the cross bolt sight. Thanks

Also does anyone have any real information on the note guide? Like actually seen a mk12 kit with one in it? I talked to JP and they do not make them in black period. Not even set up to do it for the military or anyone else. Red only. I asked them about getting black and I mentioned it is said they made the ones for the mk12 kits but in black. maybe who I spoke to was not there when they were made. I don't know. Trying to figure this out. There is no bore guide listed in the contents that are listed in the mod 0/1 manual. Not one listed in the mod 1 manual either. Where did we get that?

Could it be the Dewey guide? They are black. I'm sure if it was a Dewey rod, they would get the guides from them also as it makes sense.
