The AE30 is threaded for 5/8x24 but still requires a collar or appropriately contoured barrel. The Ops Inc version of this is what is used on the M24A2

The AEM5-30 is dimensionally similar to the AE30, but threads onto the brake instead of the barrel. I’m unaware of there is an internal difference other than the threading. It’s kind of like a longer, .30 cal version of the 12th/AEM5

Ok great! That makes sense now! That's what I was referring too. Kinda sucks, now if I wanna be able to swap back and forth I would have to use a break on the M24. But its good that you told me because I could've went through the whole process and realized after 8 months of waiting that I have the wrong can lol. Speaking of, I'm going to my FFL tomorrow morning to finger blast my AEM5 that came in today!

I haven’t seen any M110’s posted in a long while, time to stoke the fire.

Two Knight’s Army deployment package M110s, one converted into a USMC SASS config. Third is a Knight’s SR-25 ECC converted into a M110K1 clone. Texas is a very target rich environment, lots of fun letting the safe queens run wild. The M110s are awesome, but in terms of flexibility and portability the K1 is hard to beat, especially at night. Picture from last nights hunt at the bottom, just over 1,100 lbs of ranch vandals sent to hog heaven…

Well, theres a few differences. Your rail was the result of mine. Idk why Knights didn't just keep this SR25 FF RAS like the MK12's tube. There was really no need to cut the front like that, just to add that more complicated sight. Shoulda just stuck with the 99051. Well, either way this is the sniper rifle mine came off of. An early, pre-mk11 SR25 that was only issued to one or two special operations units during the Clinton ban years. A Knights employee sent me this pic from their 1999/2000 catalog.

That's so awesome! That's a lot of money in equipment right there. Add in the price of the 2 NXS's...I fucked up my credit building just one...which will be on its way from Mr Dan Ross next week! Is that picture from Allen or did you take it? Is the mod0 a return stock and MIRS? Or did you have to hunt every part down individually? What are those papers about??? So many questions, you can't just put two killer rifle builds out like that with no background info!

The NVG is an older BNVD-G Dual Gain Control with matched Gen3 PINNACLE MIL SPEC-YG tubes. The rifle mounted NV is a KAC PVS-30. Manta Strobe on top of the brain bucket just in case Texas finally calls in AC-130's to help take care of the feral hog problem... :) There is a ton of info in the nightvision forums on these kits and various options.

The two pictures were complete parts kits that I assembled prior to packaging up and sending to Alan. The Mod 0 stock, bolt, and MIRS rail are Crane take-offs, barely used. These parts were acquired from USMCSGT0331, great guy and super knowledgeable in this space. The Rem700 receiver used for the Mod 0 was bead blasted and will be gray parkerized. I'm going to rattle can the Mod 0 rifle once finished and didn't want to destroy a painted return stock. All Mod 5 parts were individually hunted down, many hours of searching. The papers included with each kit are detailed build sheets listing all parts and gunsmithing tasks for the builds. Both of these rifles are extremely detailed spec clones with small nuances not found on standard builds. Over the years I’ve discovered it's better to be super detailed with custom builders rather than trust they know what you want...

Since this isn't a sales area, I'll refrain from posting details like price on this thread (I don't really know the rules here that well and don't want to step out of line). If anyone is interested in the stocks or just wants to talk about Mk13 sniper rifles, please shoot me an IM.

You are correct, it is an ATACR in a LaRue mount, but I don't have specs on either item. The sniper is from 3/5 when that unit was on the 31st MEU this year. They're testing the Mk13 Mod 7 as either a supplement to or a replacement for the M40 program. We probably won't know the results for many years, so don't expect to see these in a regular infantry battalion anytime soon (MARSOC has been using these rifles with the S&B 5-25 PSR for a few years now).

Interestingly, the USMC SOI-W sniper team used ATACR scopes on their M40A6 rifles during this year's International Sniper Competition. One of my friends and sniper platoon members is on that team and is in the first picture below. He says that the equipment used in the comps can be stuff that isn't issued to the sniper platoons, such as the ATACR and JP LRP-07 (not completely sure of the JP model, but that's what it looks like in the pic).

If you're building an M40A6 or Mk13 Mod 7 clone, take this info into account and build accordingly.

Thanks for the info.

I already have the Mod7 built just looking for an optic. The PSR optic is appealing except it only has 26ish mils Of internal adjustment which is annoying when shooting out to a mile or more. The ATACR provides a little more flexibility in that regard.

I may be mistaken but it’s my understanding that the rifles are issued to the SEALs without optics and are outfitted as they see fit. I’m guessing Marine units that get them, get them as a package?

Though they look similar, the M110 can was never used on any MK13. The main difference is that the M110 can needs to be used with the M110 flash hider in order to mount the can to the rifle, the mk11 can does not. If your gonna go through the trouble of doing it...just do it right. Or if you feel the need to have a FH, paint the M110 can and leave it on the gun. Nobody will know except you. It'll be your dirty little secret.

Yes, KAC 98440 is the correct MK11 Mod 0 suppressor used on the MK13 Mod 0 and Mod 5 rifles.

Per the Knight's Form 3 the M110 suppressor is 14.25" long. MK11 suppressor is 12.375" long. In addition to the barrel indexing differences mentioned above the lengths are noticeably different.

Googling those cases, they seem to be the same case. Do you know which model? I'm assuming its this one: Kalispel Style 1 Gun GC521004 (52"x10"x4") Aluminum Scoped Rifle Case, or maybe the wider GC521404 with dimensions 52"x14"x4"
Also, is the foam cut out, or are the rifles just placed on the uncut foam?

I just measured the cases, they are 52" x 14" x 4.5"

This appears to be the correct case for the Mod 0 and is from one of the two original companies that supplied them to Crane - http://icc-case.com/impact-case-5214-double-scoped-rifle/

Kalispel went out of business in 2010, so unless you find a used case this isn't really an option. Out of my 14 original SEAL used cases, 2 are Kalispel and 12 are ICC. It appears that the ICC cases were more prevalent for the Mod 0 (well, at least they are according to this small sample size).

The case you listed, GC521404, is made by Explore Products - https://www.exploreproducts.com/kalispel-style-scoped-rifle-case-521404.htm. Explore Products didn't have a government contract for these cases and they only started producing them after Kalispel went out of business. Not sure why anyone would want one of these for their Mod 0 build when ICC (company who actually made the Mod 0 cases) is still around and selling the correct case. Go with ICC in the first link.

According to Alan Brown, the foam was uncut. Probably the easiest case ever for a clone rifle, no foam cutting!

Ok yea, for only $15 more get the real case. That other company offered 20% off your 1st order...but now it would bother me not having the right one. Thank you for all the info!

Yep, spend the few extra bucks and never have to worry about it ever again! However, it still amazes me that after spending thousands and thousands of dollars on an excruciatingly correct clone build, people still try to cut corners at the end just to save 20 bucks. Besides these cases, I have no idea why people buy off brand M40A3/5 parts when OEM suppliers still produce those parts. They spend ~$5,000 on correct parts and scope (smithing fees not included), then try to save $30 on a "replica" A3/5 recoil lug and scope base

Nice! Here's a pic with them on some MK13's. You can see them on the mod0's in the back too. Actually thought it was a small suppressor at 1st.

Btw, I count 9 mod0's in this one photo. That's good shit. Need more mod0

Is anybody here around the San Antonio area?? I'll be there from Jan 4 through Feb 23 for Combat Arms training and I'm thinking about bringing my MK13 to shoot on the weekends. Will have to rent a car this time because I'm not putting the miles on my jeep again from NY lol. It should be sent out any day now, but I won't have too much time for load development if any, so I'm very eager to shoot her. If anyone wants to get together with me and show me all the good spots while I'm down there hit me up.

Ha! I did a CATM school down there in 98 or 99, it was fun. I wonder if it’s the same one.

Spoke with Stiller today and found out they are going from UID stickers to laser engraving it directly to the action on future MK13 actions.
