    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    It covers a lot of the same ground as the Mod H. To me, having built a 3 of the 4 mk12 rifles, the RECCE is easier to handle when I compete and out to 500 I have seen no real difference in performance. If I still had the ModH it would be a harder decision, but having an 18” in the same if was a...

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I have most of what I need to do another mk12 upper. Was going to build a mod1, but I shoot the 18” mod0 so little now I’ve had a hard time getting motivated. I could have my CMP SR barrel reprofile, but I’m not sure that would get me behind this rifle. I have 30” Krieger 1:8 that was on my...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    I am religious about the gym, but about 5 years ago I was running pretty regularly and I got a j shaped stress fracture just below the head of my shin bone. the Doc at Elite told me it was going to require removing my knee cap and putting a rod down my shin bone to stabilize it. I got it to...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    I try to stay pretty fit. Since the 2022 event I keep my weight under 240 most of the year. I am not a runner and I try to change my workout program to ramp up cardio and cut to about 220-225 about 8 weeks out . I am struggling this year to loose the weight. I’m doing 800-1000 calorie workouts...

    How much extra fouling was on the rounds in the mag? Any issues at all with functionality, specifically going into battery?

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I have been running one on a RECCE and it does well. Eye placement is a little tight, but it’s a small scope so expected. Only issue I’ve had with the reticle (FC-DMX ) is getting lost in the aiming dots under stress. I think I can overcome that by turning the illumination on dimly so the...

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I shoot with a couple long range service rifle shooters (think 20” 308win pushing 185s 2600fps) ) that swear by them. I assume you tube them in the small frames?

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I’m not sure how I could tell. I bought these around 2023 from mag warehouse I think. Edit. These are not duramags. I have five is six of these as well. Maybe I got NOS?

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I’ll check the pin. Bolt release was moving freely, as was the charging handle. Very strange feeling to pull a charging handle all the way to the stop with zero resistance. We tried the colt 20 rounder before we changed buffer springs. I think the blue is just too much for this rig. All good...

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    They are, however I been Running this buffer in this tube for 5 years. Not saying this rifle is having issue, but having a bolt was a first for me. The extension tube is not bent or dented. Issue 2, shot a 2 gun match with recce six weeks ago. I could see this one maybe needing a few oz...

    Blue Buffer spring drama. Malfunctions with new springs. Anyone else seen this?

    I go through the ARs I compete with and replace cam pins, firing pin retainers and this year I decided to change buffer springs. My main competition rifle is five years old and though it only has about 3500 rounds in it I figured why not. Main rifles have mil spec carbine receiver extensions...
