Apologies for bringing up something that has likely been covered, but my search skills are not up to the task of finding it in the archives.
I'm seeing references to a special chamber design being used by Douglas on the MK12 SPR barrels. I'm assuming this isn't a Wylde chamber or it would likely just be referred to as such. Centurion makes a similarly cryptic reference to this chamber design for both its Recce and SPR barrels, just referring to it as "optimized for MK262."
While the Wylde chamber is probably the most popular "improved" chamber, there are other reamer designs floating around oriented towards particular uses. I know Frank at CLE has his CLE chamber design that is very highly regarded (and optimized for mag length ammo), but I can't see that working with MK262 without serious pressure issues (it's a short freebore chamber).
The well-worn graphic from ar15barrels.com showing the various reamer details (you know the one) shows nothing peculiar to MK262 or MK12 SPR.
Who came up with this chamber design or made the reamer? Douglas? Crane? What is its geometry? I'd love to see how the chamber was tweaked relative to standard 5.56 or Wylde.
