dbwalker Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 well except for the scope that's on back order, did the dura coat yesterday thinking I would need to wait at least a couple days before messing with it "wrong" dont think I could of waited another 5 minutes when I got home from work todaywith the exception of the Juggernaut lower receiver this rifle is pretty much all JP, JP upper duel charge with their super match 18" barrel, used the JP easy trigger, low mass carrier, silent capture spring, ergo grip, waiting on the vortex viper PST 6x24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Whats up with the notch cutout in that one hand guard vent or is that an optical illusion ? I like the color too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbwalker Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Whats up with the notch cutout in that one hand guard vent or is that an optical illusion ? I like the color too .it's like that on every other vent closest to the receiver, for reaching in with an allen wrench to tight it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 SPR - first, "Special Purpose Receiver." Later, it wasn't just an upper, it was a whole "Special Purpose Rifle."Way off the mark, for yours.Read and learn.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Riflehttp://www.precisionreflex.com/Content.aspx?PAGE=Mark12+Mod+0+SPRhttp://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/520524_Official_Mk12_Mod0__Mod1__ModH_Photo_and_Discussion_Thread__Part_II.htmlWhy don't you hop in that thread on ARF, and ask them if you have an SPR?...

dbwalker Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 finally got it to the range & broke it in, gun ran great, 2 boxes of 168 grain federal gold was superb, going to try some of the 175 grain gold next time, I only shot 5 rounds of Aguila 150, it was pretty bad "not surprising" 2 boxes of Norma 150 grain & it wasn't to shabby "pleasantly surprised", the gun ran with out a hiccup, I need to turn the gas down a little but other then that it was great, barrel break in & first shots through a new build always have me nervous & on high alert from past experiences, it wasn't until I got it home & did a final cleaning & inspection that my nerves settled down about this build, looking forward to sitting down for some longer ranges with this rifle & running some of the other good stuff I picked up for it, cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbwalker Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Rifle turned out looking great ! Well done !That is a slick looking machine!thanks guys, ordered a Phase 5 bolt catch/release & an SLR rifle works gas block for it today, discovered using the side charger that if left it in the rearward position my thumb takes a hell of a beating when I hit the bolt release, also a big part of the reason I wanted that side charger was so that I could shut the gas off & basically run it like a bolt action when I want & also to adjust when I get to put a can on it, the JP gas block is more of a set it & forget it as compared to adjust on the fly, so I'm looking forward to adding those two parts to it, I'll throw the JP gas block on one of my AR15's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
