    Mk12 with 15" handguard?

    Has anyone used a 15" handguard on a MK12 barrel with the AE brake and collar? I want to do a MK12 build, doesnhave to be clone correct, but will be using the proper barrel with the brake and collar for the AEM5 can. I already have a 15" BCM MCMR handguard on hand, so would like to use that if it will work.

    Have you checked out the BCM website? I thought they offered that with their version of a MK12 barrel.... Who knows, I could be wrong, but I thought I had seen one, or something very similar.
    Stick


    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    They do list one, but no pics with the brake/collar.

    I'll dig around over here and see what I can find. I'm not a store or anything, but I am a blessed man when it comes to things on hand....

    Thanks. I've emailed Centurion about it as well, but haven't heard from them. They list a 15" handguard, but don't say anything about the suppressor fitting with it.

    I have a BA 18" SPR pattern barrel in a gun with a 13" rail.

    I measured from the end of my rail, it is 15 1/2" from the back end of my rail to the step on the barrel for the collar.

    So it looks like, with a 15" rail, you'd have about 1/2" clearance between the front end of the rail and the step.

    Hope that helps.

    Just heard back from Centurion that it will work as well.
