In the original link to the AP page on these, they show the Gen 1 lowers (just standard lowers) on the 5.56 sets - they are actually the Gen 2 lowers, and those things are pretty sweet.  Once I get it out of jail, I'll have some damn good pics up. 

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this thing yet...

^^^  That's probably why they were gone (from Aero) in 4 minutes...  Other companies snatched them up, and punked the public, hoping to hang onto them and make a profit - good to see them "on sale" from other vendors...  :thumbup:

I'm seriously at a loss as to what this thing will become.  It's bothering me, pretty bad.  Whatever it turns into, it won't be a beater gun, and it won't get abused - but it will be shot.  Hell, it might turn into another 18" match-accurate 5.56 gun.  I honestly don't know...   

This intrigued me.

What's not to like?  5R rifling. .223 Wylde chamber.  Rifle gas on an 18" barrel.  1:8" twist. 

I might use this set to build an 18" gun that will embarrass the Mod 0 and Mod 1.  If that's the case, the trigger will be the Geissele Hi-Speed National Match, with a backed-off low-ass pull weight.  You can set that bastard down to 1.9lbs, combined pull weight...  I know I love the fuk out my my DMR trigger in the Mod 0...

Fuk, I don't know...

That might be it...

"Shiit, that's a pretty nice Mk12 Mod 0 right there.  Oh DAMN, he just pulled out a Mod 1, too!..."

"Fuk, he just got out the green one..."   :laffs:

Well 98, they advertised it as a 24hr sale for today (Mon) only - gotta move on it if you want one!

And there is still space in the freezer!  A good friend picked up one of those electric smokers that Cabela's has on sale for $129 and did a Whitetail doe hind quarter - probably the best smoked venison I have tasted.  Very moist.  Thinking that one of those would fit nicely on the back patio.

Baby steps...   Thought it was the Gen 2 lower, but it's the Gen 1.  They mixed the Gen 2s into these sets, but I didn't get one of them.  I'm not complaining, in the least.
