Mk 12 Mod 1 build lower

[LongSchott]

hey everyone, I've been looking to finish up my mk12 mod 1 build but I have a dilemma. NODAK seems to be the best (but backorder 4 konths and expensive), Brownell is OK (sold out), 80% is time consuming (and I don't have the ability to finish myself) so here is my question.
Is Fulton armory FAR-15 A1 a good candidate? I want good quality and good fit I understand it may not be super clone correct but at this point I just need to finish the rifle. Any alternative suggestions are welcome too!

You check PRI?

I've looked into them but like everything else I can't find it available anywhere. A huge part of my mk 12 build problem is finding parts available not to mention the ongoing ammo shortage of mk262

nodak supplies Brownells with forgings and Brownells dose a great job with their finished product. nodak is favored over the two for clones. Fulton offers a good product.

Call McCourt Munitions. They make the best custom tailered MK262 I've ever used at less cost than Black Hills Red or IMI.

Hey everyone I know its been a while but I was able to get a brownels A1 lower in grey. I slapped in a giessele ssa-e and giessele lower parts kit. I honestly was not impressed with the parts kit but the trigger is fantastic. The lower looks great on the mod1. All I need now is a proper pistol grip and to start looking into painting. Currently have a Leupold mk5HD 3-18 but trying to find a used clone correct scope (leaning towards nightforce) ill post an updated picture later!

We use Colt M16A1 repro for Mod0. For Mod1. Mostly Colt M4/A2 lowers.

Here is a picture of the rifle currently. This is my first AR build and I neglected greasing up the parts kit before installing so I need to go back and do that. The pistol grip will be switched out as its not comfortable. The scope is way too big and for this build and im trying to find a correct nightforce but am struggling finding something within my budget. Overall I absolutely live this rifle If you guys have any suggestions on where I can get a period correct scope or near correct used id be much obliged.

They pop up on this site often, but you need to be quick. Do a search in the F/S section for Nightforce 2.5 and just start combining through.

Here is one that was posted in a WTB thread on 1/19. Just be cautious as we have had a couple scamers.

Awesome thanks man!
I'm definitely a little concerned about scammers. I still need to hit 101 posts or comments or whatever the rules are here until im allowed in that section.
It will likely be a while until I get on the the market section.
Currently I've been checking out ebay and have a few leupolds I could do but I really prefer nightforce for this.
