It wasn't, however, meant as a direct insult toward decoded.


    For us range ninjas gear qualified by the mil in combat has its own merits. There are conditions and abuses in the field you cannot duplicate in the civilian world. Care for it or don't that is the truth. No it doesn't automatically mean on product is superior to another but its just a different avenue for us to judge a product by that is unique in its own right.


    I have enough issues with AAC outside of not having a mil contract that I don't need to purchase their cans. They don't have a mount that either isn't a brake or doesnt have a loud ping. They have had enough QC issues to take note of.

    Lighter doesn't automatically mean better. The KAC NT4 is a heavy can, and doesn't reduce sound the best but its built like a tank, and can take abuse other cans cannot. Each person has to judge for themselves what their wants, desires, needs, etc are, and then make a decision on what would work best for them.

    Thanks, I believe I will put a UBR stock on it and I looking at NF optics right now. nothing is set stone about that though. There are some really great scopes that can be had for a little less. I have never been known for skipping on parts though when it comes to building one of my own weapons though. You get what you pay for. I've got to get my reloading bench set up also to load some rounds for this puppy. I'm pretty excite about getting this to the range, but I have to get the parts I want so it will be right for me. The can is next. The ACC break is what came ome on the weapon. I like the design of the FH. That will change when I get my can though it will be an OPS INC ( just what I like) but that will come later. That being said though if someone wants to use a AAC it's their right. Some people like bleached blonds some people like real hot blonds. I married a real hot blond

    Those weights are wrong. Common sense will tell you that the LaRue mount weighs more than 1.2oz more than the NF ultralite rings.

    Damn guys, you'd think that someone was calling The Colonel queer and changed some of the eleven spices.

    I've never been one to be slavish to the exact rifles and gear. When I think mk12, I think of the best way to smack targets as far as possible with a 5.56 gun, and Crane did the best job they could with what they had.

    I use a JP 1x8 18inch upper with a G-trigger, Premier 3-15 mil-dot in a Larue mount. Heavier than a mk12, but I was all giggly shooting steel out past 400 yards.

    SPR, MK12 mod this-n-that, I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life at 1000 yards.

    Travis did some nice work with a Bushmaster with that crappy rail.
    I just did two lines of powdered wig powder, cranked up some Lee Greenwood, and recited the BoR. - Outlander Systems

    IMO if you are going to spend the cost to build a quality Mk12 clone or close to a clone some extra money on optics is worth it.


    NF and Leupold are nice but scopes like SB are a whole new level...I don't regret switching from a NF to a SB at all, and should have done it from the beginning. Now the NF is on my dad's 22LR....

    Congrats....you are first person to drop $1300 glass on a rimfire gun At least you made the point of how little respect you have for NF glass

    You never miss the chance to do a little NF bashing...but your entitled to that opinion I guess....However MOST of us know your position and you do not need to insult the glass any further...the rimfire one takes the cake.

    Perhaps, but common sense should tell you that there's no way one can save a half of a pound given the LaRue mount weighs 0.425 pounds.
