MK11 Mod 1 Clones

[M700Shooter]

Who do you thinks builds the best MK11 Mod 1 clone? I have a SR25 and URX II forend. I would need to have a barrel profileed, chambered, and installed with the URX forend.

I'm inclined to go with GAP,, but, I wanted to see what your opinions were.

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

I believe someone posted their Mk11 Mod1 clone here before and it was done through GA Precision. I think their base rifle was a LW Match SR-25 that came with the URX II. They just added the appropriate GB/barrel/FH for the clone.

I did a google search, but could not find the post I am referring too.

High Caliber Sales builds the most authentic clones available.

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

I'm not sure if High caliber will do the MK11/SR25 variant clone. And it was my understanding that the guys at GAP don't care for working on KAC rifles.

Get ahold of KevinB from KAC who is a member here, M4Carbine, Silencertalk. Either him or Casey from Lawmen's Supply. Both are great guys and very helpful. I have no doubt they will steer you in the right direction.

Depending on what you have, have you considered selling what you have (as they retain their value well) and picking up an SR25 EM...which is pretty much right between a MK11 and an M110?

I got my Mk's mixed up there for a minute. I was thinking the OP was wanting a Mk12.

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

I wouldn't trust anybody other than Ga Precision they have extensive experience with the sr25 platform and have done couple of m110 clones. As of my rifle, they did the work on it, they build a special threaded sleave in order to instal the m110 flashhider due to the barrel profile.There is not many out about this rifle they were only 180 hybrid rifles built for the Marines using the mk11 mod 0 marked lower with parts of the new m110 upper. Had the opportunity to see this package at the KAC museum and its awesome.Any KAC will retain its value and they are exeptional firearms.They were only 40 civilian packages sold with stainless barrel intended for competiton and were the only ones marked mk11 mod 1. Here is my rifle thread with pics, also with the correct Premier reticle equipped S&B scope. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...044#Post2481044

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

titom110's clone was the one I was referring to earlier.

Here is my (1 of 40) MK11 Mod 1's with Obermeyer SS barrel that I had transformed into a USMC (REPR) M110 "clone" which comes issued to the Marines with the Premier glass.

Now..back to the OP's question of cloning a MK11 Mod 1.
Hope you are inspired!!!

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

Several of the rifles in this thread seem to have their scopes mounted very high above the bore, how is your guys cheek welds?

Ok that makes a little more sense, having never fired a MK11 it looked like it would be a little akward!

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

The very best clone is the KAC MK11 Mod1 sent to Casey at Lawmens for color change. Yea, I know there were only 40 of those rifles available, but it is "the best" clone.

Re: MK11 Mod 1 Clones

I agree the m110 repr clone is a beauty,i was thinking on doing the same but the finish offered by casey was ceracoat which is not the original finish on the M110, their production M110s are still using KG guncote except the M110 carbine which is ceracoat, thats why i went with the original version of the clone that where 180 built and seem to me more controversial.

curious: did GAP have the logo (Panther) removed?

I looked and when I called GAP a year or so ago, they weren't interested in doing that. I could have bought their rifle and just put the stock and handguard on it had I wanted. I looked at others too, some not KAC or KAC types. Ended up going with KAC, got an SR25 20" rifle w/keymod tube and QD suppressor mount. I also got the suppressor that mounts to it. This is the new rifle anyway, the military versions are the same except they have a Magpul stock and the more expensive brake mount.

Now the KAC rifle is a different beast. The gas block doesn't fit or work like a normal AR type and the lower is fully ambi with built in left and right mag and bolt releases where they should be. So you can only build on so close.

For the price, why not just buy a 16" KAC rifle and then if you must have that stock and tube, just put it on? I mean, if you already have it, you wouldn't be out any extra save the rifle. If you must have the long can (which isn't as good as the new QD can) then you can always get the right flash hider and gas block to swap.

The SR25 is a fine rifle, I am absolutely satisfied with mine. Came with sights, extra rails, grip covers and some other parts. I got extra mags and the cleaning kit with extra parts; pricey but it is nice and with a few special parts added I felt it needed. The keymod tube even grew on me enough that I used it on a couple of builds. It's easy to use, one piece, solid and lighter too. Still, I got it all minus the can for less than $5k, but I also ordered a lot of extra stuff. The rifle alone could be had for $4k-ish, plus or minus.

Why go with a clone when you can have the real thing? I mean, it really is a damn fine rifle. Cut rifle barrels and that 2 stage trigger is fine enough I just left it. Give the SOPMOD and keymod a try before swapping out. You may like it. Good luck!

BTW, they still have the "old" military rifle... For $24,000 IIRC. But it does come in a case with drag bag, mags, parts, cleaning kit --all sorts of shit-- but doesn't include the can or clip ons for that price.
