They are GTG but I think They are more expensive than a High Caliber Sales upper.
The HCS would be the one I would buy. Edit: Looks like it is cheaper but the HCS comes with the bipod. Both look to use a Douglas barrel which is good and what the orig MK12 was built with. |

I just found the price on HCS it was $2265 but that was with the bipod and sling mount. Pri is $1500 and $40 for the upper to be ceracoted. HCS does make some dam nice uppers.
Edit: sorry did not read the edit. I just cant seem to find many reviews for the Pri |

Remember, PRi is one of the original players in the MK12 game. You will not be disappointed in their uppers. They are also great to deal with. Before making your decision, call Kevin at HCS. Tell him Mike the cop from Boone County sent you to him. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with and just a regular guy who loves guns. He is local to me and invited me into his house to finger his guns when I stopped by to pick up some BH MK262 from him. He also has some awesome hookups in the industry. PRi or HCS. You wont go wrong.

PRI makes a solid upper and the price is very fair. Here's mine. I have yet to shoot it as I'm saving for a scope. I did sell the buis that came with it and put a arms 40l in its place

The seekins is just till I can afford a correct lower, is Colt the only one that people feel is correct I was thinking a nodak spud lower. Colts are hard to come buy unless I want to buy the whole rifle then sell the upper keep the lower.

I figured that was the response I would get, I think I will just use my bushmaster lower until I can get a Nodak.
I really thought you all would like the billet idea.

Can anyone confirm for sure that PRI uses the Douglas barrel? The specs just say stainless steel barrel.

Congrats on the purchase..The Mk12 Mod 0 was the very first clone rifle I ever fell in love with. Had all intentions to build one but, ended up getting a Noveske SPR that shoots lights out and didn't see a need to have another SPR in the collection. I still have intentions to build one someday but, needed to take a break from buying rifles and concentrate on paying my debt down in order to buy a bigger house. After that, its on!!

If you are still looking to stick with the "Mk 12" look, the real Mod 0's used ARMS Medium rings. I'm sure you already have, but read thru the Mk 12 Clone thread especially the first post in regards to the scopes and rings used. If you used rings that were higher than the ARMS Medium ones, based on mine I think you'd risk having the scope too high for an effective cheek weld. Because you have the ARMS/PRI style sleeve, you will naturally need to use lower rings than a standard flat top. The Mod 1's used the ARMS High rings since they don't use the sleeve. ARMS Medium rings are 1.15", High rings are 1.45. You'll obviously have to consider whether the ARMS Medium rings would give you enough clearance between the scope and rail, but that depends on what scope you use. The real Mod 0's had Leupold 3-9 X 36 objective, and I am using a Bushnell Elite 3-12 with a 44mm objective and have no clearance issues up front. In the back you should be fine if you keep the PRI supplied irons. If you switch to the "spec" ARMS #40, you won't be able to mount the scope as far back thanks to the eyepiece interfering with the rear sight. Here are some pics of mine so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about: This is ARMS 38 Sleeve, ARMS Medium rings, Bushnell 3-12 x 44 scope, and ARMS rear sight: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3727/9557442957_09b7b45ff9_b.jpg Here's a side profile: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3667/9560232432_b4371dfc09_b.jpg And just to tell you, you need to paint yours! http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5534/9584901871_fcec0e885b_b.jpg |

Right in the feels man.... 
In any case, consider what your exit pupil/eye relief is like. My scope has the following: Eye Relief (in. / mm):3.75 / 95 One of the "spec" options is the Leupold 112633 2.5-8 x 36: Eye Relief, mm: 94-76 So with my scope positioned as above, I feel like I'm right on the CH to get a proper sight picture. Now, I don't really have any experience from active duty using scopes so I could very well be too close. But to me I feel like I get the best sight picture when I'm right up on the CH given the distance the ocular is in front of the rear sight. You definitely want to consider that if you do decide to go with the ARMS #40. Keeping the PRI sight will be less "clone", but you can make it more usable for yourself and lets you set the scope where it's just right for you. Whichever is higher priority for you, and certainly based on what kind of glass you decide on. I snagged the Bushnell because it had all the features I wanted like MIL/MIL adjustment, FFP Mil Dot illuminated reticle, and good magnification range. I'd seen a torture test so it certainly seemed like a good piece of glass. The only way I'd replace it would be with a Nightforce 2.5-10, that's it. Either way, she's one sexy rifle. I'd have to say given all the other options out there the Mod 0 always got me on sex appeal alone. |

I ordered the ARMS #22 mounts and I have a Arms 40 backup sight off of a ARMS 38 sleeve I could try and see if I like it. I am using the Leupold Mark 4 3.5x10 with a Premier Reticle Mil Dot FFP. I will be adding butler creek covers and also I will be painting it with Duracoat in the near future. I am still waiting to shoot it. I do like the NF scopes so clear I have one on a 300 WM
