SPR's

[GreyGoose]

Gents,

As we are all aware an "SPR" is chambered in 5.56. (Mk 262 OTM/77gr SMK's/Noslers)

There are various other specifications to consider however if you wouldn't mind I would like to hear what your principle definitions of an SPR are aside from caliber.

I am/was under the impression that the term SPR had become ubiquitous, almost like the word kleenex, in that it represented in general terms a precision gas rifle with a flat top receiver, BUIS, a optic, bi-pod, fixed stock, 18"+ threaded barrel, MB or suppressor, etc.

I know it is used in that regard in my AO, not in a technically historical definition, but rather in a general platform application sense, perhaps wrongly so.

What say you?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Easy - answered you in the other thread you tried to take over.

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.

Why don't you hop in that thread on ARF, and ask them if you have an SPR?...

SPR:  Mk12.  Any variation

THIS... however, is the Mk11.  Completely different rifle, but derived from the Mk12. 

THIS... is the M110.  Again, different...

There is only one SPR, but of a few varients (Mod 0, Mod 1, Mod H).

Opps, left out the Mk12 Mod 1.  The "second gen" - or 3rd or 4th gen, if you know the rifle...

Thank you, DogFightInk for the pics - you guys rock.
