    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    Just put an NF 2.5-20x50 F1 on it. Going to try for 1000 this weekend and see what happens.

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    Been running AAC 77 SMK and their in-house OTM projectile loads lately (with a local store to buy from). Couple of groups from the last outing at 100yds. Snagged an H&R M16A1 lower last year from the first batch to repurpose the Nodak A1 lower it had...love the grey so left it as is and didnt...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Great information, thank you! Based on the barrel proof marking it is an AI factory installed example. Not sure who was supplying them back then, I would assume Border... Sidenote/cool fact, R. Wigger does have an entry on the logbook for this one from 1990.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I assumed the S/S was Single Shot...it isn't marked AT like other Coopermatch examples I've seen pictures of. Also assume the US stamp is akin to a US Property mark since it was a USMC gun. Also interesting is the bolt; it doesn't match the SN on the action, is fluted and has 3 lugs. Logbook...

    40XB: Work in Process

    Finally got to the range yesterday. Shot from sitting, 100 yards, 1" dots. 5 rounds per group, using each type of .17HMR I've got on hand. Using a Wiebad bag up front for support. Haven't actually measured them yet. The wind wasn't quite a factor here as it was on some other groups I shot...

    40XB: Work in Process

    I checked their website before I picked the gun up and noticed the same. I never heard back from the original owner (who put it on consignment) to find out who plumbed it all together. ETA: maybe it was an offering made previously and discontinued or special request/order?? I'm not as familiar...

    40XB: Work in Process

    Was on the hunt for an SWFA mil 16x, but none were to be had, so this has taken a couple extra weeks to get online. Did luck out and managed to find 500 additional rounds at about .40 cents per round last week (which is about the going rate for .17HMR locally). I was on the fence about getting...

    40XB: Work in Process

    Will definitely keep the original trigger. This is a 40XB then; it has that 700 style bolt handle. That's actually part of how I IDd it initially. I would assume that the considerations for .17 HMR were made for the bolt face/extraction when it was rebarreled. It has definitely been shot since...

    40XB: Work in Process

    Updated: Just picked up this rebarreled 40XB yesterday. It: -Is US marked (not USMC or US PROPERTY) -Has the original stock -Has a Benchmark Barrels .17HMR 24" barrel installed (unsure of contour, didn't measure when I had it out of the stock) The action is in fairly good shape; light wear is...

    The Fix from Q

    I'm waiting to see a Mini Fix in .224 Valkyrie. That, would be pretty cool.

    Rifle Scopes ACOG mount for Docter Red Dot...am I missing a piece?

    I have not checked Docter yet as the last time (when I purchased this used) I went looking for info on repairs (if needed later), their website did not seem to have been updated in quite a while. Seems it has now...much appreciated.

    Rifle Scopes ACOG mount for Docter Red Dot...am I missing a piece?

    Disclaimer, this is not a sales pitch or ad...I have this from a previous purchase, I did not need it, I am trying to figure out what to do with it and my google-fu is weak. I know it is a mount via which a Docter Red Dot can be piggybacked on an ACOG. Everything I can find is of a mount with...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed Carry: What is your setup?

    M&P 9 riding in an HSP/G-Code INCOG Holster. For typical daily carry, I use the Mag Caddy and carry both appendix. During Winter (when I can actually wear a hoodie/Columbia) I use a pair of HSGI Pistol TACOs on a Raven Concealment ModuLoader frame...not cumbersome or heavy IMO, and its 51 rounds...

    Lightweight SPR style AR-15

    From reading around the internets, I've heard claims of near half-MOA on WOA 16" Match barrels without application of match ammo...take it for what it's worth, as the XM193 claim had me raise an eyebrow...not to call into question the obvious proven potential of White Oak barrels...I had my...

    Objectively Speaking: PWS MK1 & LWRC Piston AR's

    I've shot a PWS MK114 enough to know that I would absolutely buy one if afforded the chance, not bat an eye, be 100% content. Gun hasn't failed once...and cleaning is a breeze FWIW. I wish I could have some trigger time on a Mod 1 rifle, with the new freefloated Keymod handguard...the gun I've...

    Maybe not invasion, but here's something to hold us over in the meantime... BBC News - Ukraine accuses Russia of deploying troops in Crimea ^ can't get the video to embed, so here's the link to the story instead... And some more: <iframe width="640" height="360"...

    Building my 1st AR15. SPR-ish gun. Update.. Looking for a trigger now?

    Frankengun. Do it. Mine is an amalgamation of a carbine...DD 16" CHF, KAC URX 3.1, KAC irons, Geissele SD-C and a Vortex Viper PST 1-4...only recently I have considered changing a few things up, which has spun itself off into another idea altogether. I'm leaning towards a new build with a WOA...

    MK12 Mod 0/1 or KAC SR15 LPR 18"

    Just an FYI, the KAC FF RAS Long as used on the MK12 MOD 1 seems to be an increasingly rare item. Not sure how this would affect availability from builders such as HCS, I'm not quite in a position to say, just food for thought. Maybe make it even more worthwhile to do a MOD 1 in that case...
