    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Well the 2-stage adjustable to be the most correct, lots of "surplus" KAC 2-stages have been showing up lately but they appear to be the later, non-adjustable triggers possibly from M110s. But later on SSFs and apparently SSAs did find their way into remaining Mk12s as they became more available...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    The folks on the Army side of things at 5th Group and the AMU would seem to have a different story about who was really doing the designing and testing, going back to 1997 or 1998 before it got picked up as a program. Jim Gilliland once shared a picture of himself as a Ranger with a very early...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    You're in luck if you want to add a buttstock extension and still keep it true to the whole "Clone" thing. I dug this pic out of a book a few years back, this fine gentleman looks like he has a buttstock extension of some kind on an A1 or A2 stock, and a monopod mounted. At one point I think I...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Been a bit absent of late, but at least got this assembled. Original pattern SPR, sitting on an SPR case that came out of ODA 535. Still needs a few bits and another AEM5 with knurling to match the case, and after I get some good photos of it in "as issued" shape the painted, issued FSB will...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    We have asked repeatedly for them to remake the old #38 sleeves as well since PRI is doing retro parts now, again, to no avail. ARMS seems hellbent on going under without letting at least someone have the IP to make the parts people actually want. Then again, thats exactly what Dick Swan did...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Only the ones on the prototypes and first pattern SPRs with the wheel elevation FSBs. The later Mod 1s and then Mod 0s did not receive the treatment. The prototypes originally experimented with NP3 upper receivers, charging handles, and BCGs, however this was eventually dropped due to the...

    You're better off. I'd rather my dollars go straight to Tony and the guys at PRI.

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    For the record: These photos were posted over on Arfcom years back after a visit to Maj Vince Jiga's shop by the crew at ADCO. Maj Jiga (Ret) assembled a ton of Mk12s and uppers during the time the contract was alive. These are clear pics showing Mod 1s being assembled with flats on the barrel...

    No, he and Kevin have parted ways from what I understand. Based on what I've seen in some of the Mk13 related postings recently I wouldn't find that desirable any longer.

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    So according to my research, the Mod 1s should have started showing up early in 2002 as the whole SPR/A and SPR/B, testing two different optics. Does that sound about right, or were they already testing the KAC parts version in 2001? Also, regarding that TS30 scope, some of the early Mod 1s...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Seems like y'all got some of the first Mod 1s, seeing that TS30 on there. And I guess they just moved the scope over to the SPR for clasroom purposes? Seems like the suppressor was the one off the Mod 1 as well. And definitely black instead of gray. I actually had my SPR parts coated in that KG...

    Hell, I'm here to soak up more knowledge really. I've got a laundry list of questions I've still never had answered. And honestly the only reason I had a SH account before was because I was tracking down your upper. When I heard it sold I was trying to figure out where it went, then one day it...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Dude, I'm building my early gun on a Diemaco as well! A very nice light gray/purple anodizing on it, lots of character. And Gen 3s definitely had the Diemaco uppers so you're double good. I need to shoot you a PM, I have a ton of pics I've scraped over the years from various forums, Instagram...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    I usually post over on Arfcom only, but it seems I need to branch out a bit more as there's a lot of end-users over here. I'm a self professed Mk12 nerd so I figured I'd drop in with what I've researched and I'd love to compare with what y'all observed during your time in. As far as receivers...
