The green Mojave is the nastiest, most aggressive bastard in the whole rattlesnake family. Ironically, this is in Cochise County. Hmmm... That's Sierra Vista, AZ. I might have many years there, in my past life, up in the mountains, all over. I've met a metric poop-ton of these guys, in that past life. I never liked one of them, not even once. They were always the same - just super pissed off, and aggressive. Oh, they they get up in trees, too - so they can strike DOWN, when you're not paying attention. These are the a$SHOLES of the rattlesnake world. Or, don't take my word for it - I'll guide your tour...

We certainly hit this years ago, right before COVID. During COVID, it PEAKED... We have never recovered, either...

6 ARC = Steve Austin... I'm just sayin... 6.5 Grendel is the most efficient cartridge ever developed for the small-frame AR-15 platform. 6 ARC just made it a little bit better. I know where I'd go, if I wanted a Mk12 Mod H. Now...

I'm not trying to sway anyone in any direction or another, but did I ever mention that I have 3 of the 6 ARCs? One is that badass little 12.5" that went a grand, easy. There are 2 more. Both are LaRue full guns. One is an 18", and the other is a 16". It's the new LaRue stuff, too, where the handguard mounts straight up to the upper receiver via the flange. Both of those were tested out to 1k yards, and the only difference in them was the 16 needs a few tenths more of dial after 700 yards, had slightly less speed - but it kept up with the 18" all the way out to 1k, with absolutely zero problems. The only thing keeping those guns from being absolutely PERFECT, is that they ain't a Mk12. That would make them PERFECT. And, I'd pick the 16" over the 18" all day long. Mk12 Mod H that fukcer. It does everything the 18 will do, with just a couple tenths more dial, all the way out to the max distances. Might get 100 or 200 more max yards out of the 18, but at that point, both guns can do what I need them to do, and the range I need them to do it. If it's beyond their range - WinMag. After that, .338 Lapua. After that - we call in direct air support, or start sending our mortars... Just my thoughts... Food for thought...

Did I tell you guys that we ran my 12.5" 6 ARC out to 1k yards, on target? Did I mention that? We hit 1.5 MOA steel, hit 1 MOA steel, and didn't make contact on half MOA steel - from a 12.5" gun... As soon as that happened, I ripped the whole gun apart and redid it. Made it better, stronger, faster - like Steve Austin, the 6 Million Dollar Man. It's pretty cool, shooting a 12.5" barreled gun at a target 1,000 yards away, and hitting it. Imagine what a 16" barrel Mk12 Mod H 6 ARC can do... I'm just sayin'...

I'm not instigating or anything, but a 6 ARC Mod H would be the king. My king right now is the 6.5 G Mod H. I'm not taking it apart. But, if I could make it a little bit better, I'd make is a 6 ARC Mod H. I'm just throwin' that out there... For the crowd, you know...

Well, let's stop fukkin around and spend your money, too, brother!!! Build one of these Mk12s in the 6 ARC caliber. Trust me on that.

I like this guy, thus far. There is promise...

I'll gather up the Mk12s this weekend and get some pics and descriptions of them into this thread. I picked up a match on Saturday that I never knew about, so that morning is out, but I'll get to it Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning...

Hey, brother, no problem at all. I'm here to help you spend your money... In a GOOD way!...

Every single time I go to SHOT Show, I stop at his booth. I wait around, because people always want to talk to him, and when he gets the chance, he breaks away and talks to me for at least 30 minutes. He acts like he's known me all my life, he's that cool. He cares, he listens, and he's funny as hell! Love that guy. Another great one that I always stop at and spend time with is Mr. James Reddish, from Alexander Arms. I've spent hours and hours with him before. Amazing human. Both are.

Feral as Fuk...

I've done this in the past, and it works great. Dudes coming out here from Ohio, cross-country trip, just to ride the Dunes out here... Ship ALL your engine parts out here before the trip - send them to me, my house. Get here a day early. We'll build your engine that night, I'll tune the carb, and you will lose your mind at the power you now have in the sand. Send the big-bore kit, jetting kit, cams - all that shiit. I'll build your engine in the garage, and we'll have a BLAST!!! There are vids out there on the 'net capturing this insanity, SOMEWHERE. And they're badass. Let's do it again, and lift Rex's new Jeep...

@Magwa - if you need a contact at PRI, let me know. I have a good one.

Call me. What do you want to know, brother... I got you... The Mod H was just the Mod 0, 5th Special Forces Group took out the 18" barrels and had 16" barrels installed by the unit (civilian contract BADASS) armorers. They had PRI shorten up that full-length top rail, about in half. Dropped the front sight gas block from PRI, went lo-pro gasblock under the carbon fiber handguard, because it was midlength gas. They wanted something precise, but a little more maneuverable than the 18"-barreled Mk12 Mod 0s. 5th Group is also who came up with the Mk12 Mod 0s in the first place. SF runs Mod 0s and Mod Hs. SEALs and Rangers run Mod 1s. "Mod H" means "Mod Holland." Named after MSG Steve Holland. Precision Reflex is the only company that built either of these two rifles for 5th SFG(A), outside of the unit armorers converting the in-inventory Mod 0s they already had, and this was before NSWC Crane approval (on the Mod 0s). So it you want one that's perfect, in build and design, get it from them, Precision Reflex. Or, have me build it for you. Or, I'll out the details and you can build the beast. I have a Mod H 6.5 Grendel - it's the one gun I'd pick if the bus showed up out front and said ":You can only bring ONE rifle..." Mk12 Mod 0: Mk12 Mod H: Precision Reflex website: https://www.precisionreflex.com/ When you get here in the Fall, I'll bring out the Mk12 Mod 0, Mk12 Mod 1, Mk12 Mod H, and the Mk12 Mod 2. You can shoot them all.

Come out to the Fall Shoot a day early and we'll lift it and put it on 35s!!!

Once I lick it, it's MINE...

If you guys could pull this for 18 Hundo, would you do it? I'm looking at it at 0830 local in the morning, and having a very hard time walking away, once I lick it. It's never been fired...

Truth, brother. I have one of the last remaining DD Lite rails we've ever seen here, but I also have one of these rails as well - it's quality, and well worth the investment. Fear not.

I'll SNAP as soon as some dumb motherfucker pokes me with a stick. I'm IMPALING you with that stick you brought, that you thought was so cute, and could defend you. I'll take it directly away from you, and run that biotch right into your thorax. Now. Bring chest seals, and QuitClot with you. It won't help, though. Off the box now.

White Oak was being a bitch. Here's the image.

It typically does, fix those issues. It focuses your eyesight - and brain - into a smaller box. Narrower (smaller diameter) rear peep sights, smaller (narrower) front sight posts. Makes you "Aim small, Miss Small," for the most part. That's exactly why iron-sight only National Matches came up with this stuff in the first place. Front sight post on the real as-issued government M16 variants that are issued is 0.070" wide - that's directly because the average human (18" shoulder-to-shoulder) fits that sight post width at 300 meters... If he fills your sight post - he's 300 meters away. Science behind that... If he's narrower than your front sight post - further away - how much further? How wide is he compared to your front sight post? If he's larger than the front sight post... Closer. Send it. You're zero'd for 300 meters. Take him out. I have a 0.030" front sight post on a National Match rifle, irons only. The rear peep is 0.040" diameter. That makes - forces - you to focus in smaller. Aim small, miss small. It's real... Even for magnified optics, there are many "National Match" companies that sell "lens reducers" for the objective lens on your magnified rifle scope.

Mmmmm.... FML... This is INBOUND!

@Armed Eye Doc, FUNDAY MONDAY!!!

We will meet up, for Certain, without a doubt. I'll get ahold of you through here, when the trip is planned.
