In my quest for AR Supremacy, I have found my safe full of SBR's. Nothing wrong with that but I have decided to try something different. I have recently been turned on to the MK12 Mod 0. I like the style, look, feel, and utility of it.
Already having two AAC cans, I really don't want to spring the cash for the correct OPS can. I am going to make do with what I have. I do not want to use an 18" because with my can it will leave a lot of barrel exposed. Nothing wrong with that, but its my build and I want it a certain way. With my research I found there is a 16" midlength MK12, designated the MK12 Mod H for Holland. I don't know the history of it but have seen it around the interwebz. It uses the OPS can and the PRI gas block/front sight can't be used, not enough room for the rail and can and gb/fs.
I said to myself "Self, why don't you just make a MK12 dissipator?". And therefore I am.
Here's the plan, use a BCM SS410 16" Midlength barrel with lo pro gas block, PRI 12" Gen III handguard, PRI SPR PEQ top rail, then put the PRI gb/fs in front of the hand guard in the rifle spot. Obviously it will not be a functioning gas block, but a folding front sight. Hence making it a Dissipator, but a MK12 Mod H at the same time.... and there I have a MK12 H/D.
I know its a cluster **** of setups but I think it will work and look slick too.
Parts list:
BCM 16" SS410 midlength barrel
BCM low pro gas block and gas tube
Probably BCM BCG
PRI 12" Gen III handguard black
PRI SPR PEQ full length top rail
PRI gas block/front sight
PRI gs buster CH, just because I have one and its never getting used otherwise
ARMS #40 rear sight, probably low profile
ARMS #22 rings, probably medium since I'm using....
Trijicon Accupoint TR20 green mil-dot 3-9x40
unknown upper receiver I had laying around
Not sure on the lower or which stock I will go with, maybe SOPMOD, PRS, or A2
Geisselle SDE for the trigger because I already have that.
AAC SDN-6
AAC M4-2000 when the stamp arrives
Again its not an exact clone, not really a clone at all. More of a mutt of several configs rolled into one. Its not a she, it doesn't have a girls name. Its a gun, a firearm, a defensive weapon, a gosh damn ****ing boom stick.
Here's what I have so far.

Not pictured is the SDN-6 which is on my MK18 right now
Since the barrel steps down from .750 at the gas block to .725, then again to .700 an inch behind the threads, I am going to have to modify the PRI gb/fs so it clamps securely to the .725. I don't think it will be big deal though.

Here's an artists rendering of it. The optic and suppressor will be different than pictured however.
