Well typically it meant FF. So....... You all can fight about that. The whole reason it stays loose in here is because nobody knows what the true recce spec is, like the other clones. It's more of a grey area.
I personally think a non FF recce is crossing the line into non recceness. It's just an M4gery with a scope on it. |

I've got that grass is greener syndrome when I see the hollands. But then I googled how much a PRI FF tube might go for. I don't think I'll be changing. I should just get used to the fact that it's all expensive.

My point is that we need not be literal, but somewhere we start just calling a more generic SPR a recce because the barrel is a little shorter. We can have fun playing with the boundaries, but there must be some boundaries. Not sure what they are. |

I've gone down the clone correctness path in this thread before but I think the loose definition of the recce combined with so many rifles fitting the general description weighed against the fact this thread is still less than 300 pages makes it a non issue. I completely support burning about 30% of the people in the Mk12 thread as heretics but I don't see the need for it in this thread. I say just post whatever and if enough people tell you to GTFO then you should, but this isn't my thread so nothing I say matters. I can help with a couple of the pictures. The second pic was posted by an employee from Nightforce and like you said fits the prototypical description. 16" Lilja barrel, rifle length KAC FF RAS, 2.5-10x32 NF in a NF Uni mount, I think some more info was posted about it Norgen ambi catch if Im not mistaken plus stuff I'm sure I forgot. The third pic is probably just an M4, it has a Mid-Length KAC FF RAS and NF 2.5-10x24. This also fits the description and shows a nice evolutionary step between a standard carbine and one accurized to fit the prototypical Reece role. Some other cool scoped carbines with FF rails from the Somalia/BHD time frame have been posted that show the beginnings of what would become the Reece then Mk12. Another argument in favor of the 14.5" is what the Reece has become. There are a few pictures floating around of Navy SEALs with 14.5" HK 416's with NF scopes and bipods, this seems to be the most current 5.56 iteration of the Reece rifle. |

Recce pic thread here for generic AND clone type builds, 14.5" - 16", magnified glass. Free Float rail mostly unless you're going old school. SPR pic thread - 18" rifles that either aren't in any way a Mk12 clone, or were "inspired" but share very little with the Mk12, etc. Basically 18" with magnified glass and an FF rail. Mk12 Clone thread - Self explanatory. Clone or GTFO area. I've gone down the clone correctness path in this thread before but I think the loose definition of the recce combined with so many rifles fitting the general description weighed against the fact this thread is still less than 300 pages makes it a non issue. I completely support burning about 30% of the people in the Mk12 thread as heretics but I don't see the need for it in this thread. I say just post whatever and if enough people tell you to GTFO then you should, but this isn't my thread so nothing I say matters. I can help with a couple of the pictures. The second pic was posted by an employee from Nightforce and like you said fits the prototypical description. 16" Lilja barrel, rifle length KAC FF RAS, 2.5-10x32 NF in a NF Uni mount, I think some more info was posted about it Norgen ambi catch if Im not mistaken plus stuff I'm sure I forgot. The third pic is probably just an M4, it has a Mid-Length KAC FF RAS and NF 2.5-10x24. This also fits the description and shows a nice evolutionary step between a standard carbine and one accurized to fit the prototypical Reece role. Some other cool scoped carbines with FF rails from the Somalia/BHD time frame have been posted that show the beginnings of what would become the Reece then Mk12. Another argument in favor of the 14.5" is what the Reece has become. There are a few pictures floating around of Navy SEALs with 14.5" HK 416's with NF scopes and bipods, this seems to be the most current 5.56 iteration of the Reece rifle. I pretty much think lancecriminal said it as well as anyone could say it. Should be tacked. It comes up about every 20-30 pages. And to you MBlades, there are plenty of pics of 14.5 guns that were accurized in some way and could be considered a Recce. There's that one of the two SEALs in front of a truck and the guy on the left had the old tubular metal FF tube with an M4 barrel and a scope and it had that big ole laser thing on the bottom. More BHD era. And Horrigan's pic, (obviously just posted) on and on. I think those make a stronger case for a 14.5 recce than 416's in that role. Not to dis those either though. |

I've had it saved to my computer and drool over it every time I come across it. If not, both of your rifles are beautiful |
