I asked this in the Mod H thread but this gets more traffic. What optics have been seen on the Mod H’s besides what’s posted on page 1? Also, how crucified am I gonna get for a Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x40 but with M1 turrets and non-illum reticle? Found one semi close to me for $750.

I remembered reading several pages ago about the right thicker A2 PG that has the right side profile
Where can I find one? I have the wrong one on my MK12. |

Hopefully last optic question. For a Mk4 3.5-10 M3 LR/T non illum mildot reticle, how incorrect is a 7.62mm M118LR 175gr marked elevation turret instead of the .308Win 168gr marking?
And here’s my Mod 1 before I replaced the stock with an adjustable, which will soon be my Mod H. Excuse the optic and mount. Attached File |

I'm sure a lot of you know already, but PRI re-released the original M84 charging handle with the welded hotdog latch....well kinda - they left the cutout in the latch. Mine should be arriving tomorrow, it's more clone correct than what I had.

I do think it's cool there's something for that part of the community. |

Hey everyone,
It's good to see this thread is alive and well. Where might a dude find a good source for a vintage M16A1 LPK including A1 pistol grip that would look correct in a stripped GM Hydra lower? I actually have 3 GM lowers, so need 3 LPKs minus the trigger components I guess since those will be Geissele. Thanks in advance! |

So missing a couple of pieces that I suppose need to make her exact, the new pri retro gasbuster, is it as bad as ergo's retro grip or slightly better or worse.

Went and shot my Mk12 today. Loving the MK5HD
Went through a bunch of different ammo and nothing seems to be grouping 1moa or better sadly. I don't know if I was having an off day or what but I was doing pretty well with my Seekins HIT in 6.5. Attached File |

That’s typical performance. They’re 1moa performers typically but occasionally I’ll get an ammo lot or have the right weather and squeeze 3/4” 5 shots. I really don’t see anything special from the Douglas barrels.
Best performance has still been 53 and 52 gr Sierras and a moderate load. Or 69 SMK and sometimes 69 TMK Mirage will also work against you since these systems are piping hot after 10 rnds. |
