    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    This is so similar to my journey but 18” for me. I started with a Faxon match barrel, swapped to a Douglas PRI which made a nice jump in accuracy and I just received a new upper for a thermal fit. I have an MDT SCS on the lower, which I don’t like, and I recently received a B5 precision stock...

    Super Trickler experiences? Powder throw thread.

    I’ve only had the supertrickler for a few months but I’ve been happy with it. I had the Hornady, then the chargemaster and then decided I wanted to spend less than a minute just to charge and seat one round. I also agree with what secondofangle2 has said about it. It’s not real AI, it’s more...

    I don’t know, but I don’t want it.

    Fixing the issue is fine, but they’ll need addresses to send the parts to.

    Good call! I have the tools and means but I probably would have forgotten about the recesses in the action.

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I emailed Zermatt yesterday, they replied today that they will send the replacement fixed parts. I get being upset that they may have known this was not a fluke, I think that’s a reasonable reaction. At the same time I don’t know what the rate of the problem is or even that cause and I was not...

    Here are some pictures from mine #35XX. Round count is an actually 45. I tried to get a decent picture inside the action but it’s not coming out. I’m not sure how much of that smear is grease. I haven’t wiped off any grease from the bolt body either. I haven’t reached out to Zermatt, I’ll get...

    Mine is looking similar with only 50 rounds.

    Suppressors Alignment rods - steel or carbon fiber

    .002 over 2ft is great.

    Suppressors Alignment rods - steel or carbon fiber

    Is that .002” per ft for straightness tolerance? That would be very good. I was going to suggest using motion shafts, which typically give you a straightness tolerance of 0.00XX” per ft (or inches) of length on top of the diameter tolerance.

    LRT manufacturing makes an arca rail for PRI handguards. I have the 15” handguard and they have been out of stock of that version for a long time so I cut down a JP arca rail to fit. The JP and PRI have the same OD so the rail sits well. I have heard of a report of a carbon tube not doing...

    Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

    I didn’t mean that there are instructions to lube your fasteners and then torque to a dry value. That’s quite a leap. What I meant is just that many of the instructions provide dry values (which is standard), while most of the people I know who are knowledgeable in fasteners simply rely on...

    B But they still only specify dry torque values.

    Thanks! The engraving looks the same between them so it sounds like the former (though it’s not unlikely that the differences would be finer than I can see with my eye). But I’ll email the barrel maker for their advice. Worst case, I just save the club ammo for my friend’s .22’s.
