I’ll be real curious to see how this goes. First and foremost, like you said, can’t go wrong with an MK12. Second, that cartridge sounds real nasty from what I’ve heard.

That’s a sweet Land Rover, seems like you got a deal there. I’ve always liked the more military style Land Rovers, as opposed to the silly $100k+ soccer mom models. Seems like crazy low milage for the age

That’s a rifle I still haven’t finished. I have all the pieces, just waiting on final assembly. I bought all the parts right before ammo became super scarce with Covid. So to answer your question, no I don’t have any ammo for it currently

No worries, sadly it has been a few years. We all need another good outing in the desert. Lots of new toys to try out since then

That was actually me, I’m shooting the same 10.5 in the picture at the top. It really shows the difference in flash between muzzle devices. Mine has a standard A2 birdcage, meanwhile that MK18 has an AAC Breakout comp I believe. Hell of a difference in flash for being about the same length

That needs to happen for sure. Using Russian ammo, I’ve heard it throws pretty good sized fireballs even during the daytime.

Oh I will for sure, it needs a good desert beating to test reliability. According to the web, it eats steel case or brass. I plan to just beat some steel thru it and see how it does, keep some brass for the mags. It’s a sexy little bitch, I’m really pleased with it. Uses HK416 spec rails, so that gives an idea how durable it feels. Even being as small as it is, still feels comfortable to move. I believe it comes from the same Socom request that produced the Sig Rattler, something that is tiny and can be used in vehicles during covert ops.

Hey Gents, Been a while since I posted, figured this is a good opportunity. Just got my new toy, a Maxim PDX 7.62x39 kit. Got it put together on a 17 designs lower I had in the box, Maxim sends everything but a lower and a LPK in their kit. Finished it off with a Strike Industries LPK. This thing is a bad Mofo, and absolutely built like a tank. 5.5 in barrel finished off with their “Hatebrake” linear comp/muzzle booster. I have no idea how they get such a short gas system to work, but they do. It’s got a proprietary BCG and buffer tube, which is how they get it so short, the buffer actually sits in the back of the BCG. This fuker is only 18.75 inches long when compressed. I’ve attached pictures for reference. The top is a standard 16in Daniel Defense carbine, middle is a cheap 10.5 build made for throwing around the desert. This damn thing is smaller even with the brace fully extended than the 10.5 is compressed. You can get it in 5.56, but I figured that’s sub optimal out of such a short barrel. 300blk is another option, but that’s pricey, and I don’t plan to suppress it. I figured 7.62x39 will stack pack some ass coming out of short ass barrel. Certainly not optimal energy, but way better than a pistol would be. I threw a Primary Arms red dot on there temporarily, not sure what I’m gonna put on permanently. I consider this a real SHTF type weapon, I’ve seen some videos of being able to fit this, plus a small chest rig, in a standard backpack. Nice grey man style stuff if the need ever arises.

I’m definitely still around, just haven’t posted much in a while. I’ve got something in the mail I plan to share with everyone once it shows up though. Hopefully in the next few days.

Define built it’s mocked up, just needs to have the barrel nut torqued and the gas block attached. Still don’t have any ammo, plus with the fires so bad this year I haven’t been out in the hills to do any blasting. Now that temps are dropping, it’ll need a shakedown

That thing looks absolutely fantastic

Hey fellas, just curious if anybody has done business with ApexGunParts.com? They’ve got some mags I’m interested in, and just wondering what they’re like to deal with.

I tried desperately to wear out the magnetic strip of my CC yesterday. Found out recently when I’m sitting in my company’s shop, I’ve got a gun store 900ft away, it’s never good for me to be that close to one. So I stumble in there, and what’s hanging on the wall, a Serbian 10.5in ZPAP85 Krink “pistol” in 5.56...well damn. I’ve already been eyeballing them for a while, and with the current jokers in charge, you gotta jump on stuff when you see it. Sadly even though I live in a free state, the background check service is so overloaded she has to stay in the store for a few days. Obviously pictures will follow when the new girl gets home. Of course buying that means I need all sorts of other $hit to go with it, so I immediately ordered a proper looking AK style SB Tactical, the 1913 pic rail adapter for the rear trunion, and a pile of extra mags. Just added up the total I spent for yesterday, and it makes me sad. Should be an awful lot of fun to play with though

Now that’s funny. I do have all the parts, and it’s mostly assembled. Still in the same state it was, just needs the gas block attached and the barrel nut tightened down. It’s been a crazy start to the year, and with all ammo being priced like it’s gold plated, it fell down the priority list. Been meaning to finish it though, in fact I was just thinking about it last weekend. I still need to decide on optics for it. I have that Nightforce which would do well on there, but I need a different mount for it. It’s currently set up for my REM 700. If I steal that from the REM, then I need to replace it with something. Decisions decisions. Part of my issue is the political climate, you know that shitt will get ugly very soon. Way I see it, put every penny you have towards new stuff and parts for new guns before they get completely outrageous. Stuff like scope mounts and optics themselves will still be available after that insanity.

It wasn’t bad at all, would have been easier if I had used a Dremel. I don’t have one, so I did the filing by hand. It took me a while fitting the slide, but I also wasn’t trying to rush it. No drill press, just used a standard Dewalt drill.
