SPR Mk12 mod0 Replica - different one

[spleen]

Well, I've just gotten my SPR up and running as well, thanks mostly to Dirty Deeds (Thanks Scott!).

This is my replica of the Mk12 mod0 version of the SPR, my preferred version, with a standard M4 telescoping stock.

For more info on the SPR "family", see Illusions post in this section ( Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) Mk12 mod1 Replica ).

Classic Army front end and rail, Guarder body, and King Arms PEQ-2 and suppressor.

Before anyone asks, the vertical grip is an experiment, at least until I get a bipod. It is a bit too far forward for a stubby-armed shorty like me, but might work for some more gorilla like folks. I saw a pic of pretty much my exact configuration on Military Photos, inlcuding the foregrip, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I despise you Spleen! Naw, just kidding, I have a man crush on you and your Mod 0

Is the gun really front heavy with such a long barrel and battery up front? I was thinking of building something similar but with a (gulp) Crane stock to offset the weight.

That's a sexy beast. :salute:

[Carvs]

Yes, someone having "that" front end :P. By that I mean the onne on Americas Army.

[Kuraitenshi]

u made it beautiful

[Eddie]

nice,


you should be able to shift the rail a few hole spaces back.

[Renegade)]

very nice man, hard to beleive a couple months ago I was delivering the front and watching you curse in the tent building it

Looks awsome! Good job.

The gun IS pretty front heavy. That's the one place where the vert grip really helps, is in making the gun much faster to point than if I held it somewhere farther back on the front end. The Crane stock would be a great way to offset the weight, probably work very well, I just don't like the look of it on the mod 0. Besides, everyone has a crane stock or full stock on their SPRs, not too many with the good old M4 stock...

I might try adding some weight to the buffer tube in order to shift the center-of-gravity back. But would the change in balance be worth the increased overall weight?

It's not so bad I can't use it, but we'll see how I feel after playing a game or two with her...

And Primus? Stop looking at her like that...

Thanks for the compliments. I can't wait to test it out theis weekend.

I can't remember the exact name of the front scope mount, unfortunately, but ARMS makes the real ones, and mine are replicas, so depending on your price range they are out there.

Eddie, thanks for the idea, I'll look into that later. Might just make a big difference.

A pic (thanks dtrinity) of my mod. 0 next to Hellrangers better-half's (sorry, what's your call sign again?) mod. 1 before the PQAC game Sunday. Too bad mine decided not to shoot...but she sure does look purdy!

[MinusII]

Looks nice man, good job.

Always like the mod 0, however, I'm not digging that AN/PEQ though. Probbaly looks much hotter with a crane stock that house a battery.

The real A.R.M.S Ring mounts and the front picantanny rail are:
A.R.M.S.#22 TRC Tactical Ring Cap
A.R.M.S.#22 Throw Lever Rings

I have them for my SPR and i wouldn't recommend the real ones because they are so damn expensive.

I think you have to also get the rail (#22TRR Tactical Ring Rail) that goes on top of the ring cap. Not sure if you buy them as a set or separate pieces.

[Godlyspartan]

Ya you have to buy them separatly.
