thinking about selling the SPR

[silentvoice71]

Thinking about selling my new spr build. I dont have the bank roll to put decent glass on it so i was considering selling it to do a 5.45 build. The ammo is dirt cheap and that means more shooting and maybe some rifle classes this summer! What do you guys thinl?. Its a great spr build using very good parts nothing cheap!

Could you just put it up until you can afford a good scope?

Put some irons on it while you save and see how good you can get with irons. That's MY plan.

The ammo is dirt cheap now, but what if in a year or two the surplus is gone????

 

[ghostdncr]

Is your rifle a Mark 12 Mod 0/1 clone or just a nice accurate AR? The SPR moniker gets thrown around kinda haphazardly, as I'm sure y'all know. Good irons or even a cheap scope would get you through the lean times but if you have a Mark 12 and are dead set on parting company with it, I'd like to see it.

Theyve been saying that about surplus ammo in general for years. 5.56 isnt goin to be down low for another year. Until then buy 1 case a month every month this year. 1080x12... Alotta rounds.. ive got an ak47 im about to finish also. Building another spr isnt hard infact it was rather boring and easy lol. Ive got about 5 ar lowers ready for upper too lol.

Pics?

 

[silentvoice71]

Not a mark series im afraid lol. Ya spr is thrown around quite a bit. I guess a DMR maybe? Ill try and get good pics here in a few. Ive got different stocks for it also.

I'm building a mk12 mod0 now and it's a pricey project! Haven't found the right glass yet. I was gonna try and be a cheap i on the glass but now I realize that would be stupid. Once I find the one I like I'll be hitting up AAoptics

 

[silentvoice71]

Ya trigger that stuff is getting harder to find since they called it quits on the spr. Give me 20 mins to write up my parts list and pics. Im making dinnet and typing

Mine too. I am going to put a carry handle on mine and the barrel I ordered will have a FSB on it. I may try one of those crazy high power matches or an Appleseed with it.

 

[silentvoice71]

Daniel defense 1:7 twist 18" S2W barrel
Ares armor adjustable flash hider
Yenkee hill rifle length forend
Matrix aero space upper
Lewis machine & tool f/a bolt carrier
Bravo company mod 4 charging handle
Tactical innovations lower
Cmmg smoothed out lpk. Pull is nice smooth amd clean
Harris bi pod.
And either a rifle length buffer tube a magpul moe stock
Or a 6 pos adj carbine stock with a mako group stock with adj cheek weld.

Some of the parts i have listed are not on the rifle their on another rifle or in my safe. Im asking 1200 with a couple pmags thrown in

Its exactly 60 rounds through it to tune the gas system. It runs flawless puts brass at the 3:00 -4:00 everytime. All brand new parts.

 

[stephen87]

It looks good. Not sure it qualifies as SPR though.

FWIW, I've been looking at building either an MK12, MK18, Spike's Compressor pistol, or a 16 inch Spike's Compressor clone just for fun.

If you already have 5 lowers ready for uppers, try selling a couple of them to fund the glass. Or shoot irons.

This is my current "SPR" build. The lower is a Seekins Precision with an RRA National Match trigger setup that's about as smooth as any lower I've ever handled. The upper is a collection of parts I had lying around. Upper receiver is a BAFE (used by Colt, DPMS, and others) with a Midwest Industries "swan sleeve" type forend. It's sporting a 16" M4 barrel in this pic but will be fitted with a 20" HBAR by this weekend. It's an ongoing dog and pony show, but the lower will eventually be mated to a PRI Mark 12 Mod 0 upper and, more than likely, a Leupold Mark 4. I post this pic, which was taken about thirty minutes ago, to draw attention to the optic mounted on it right now. That's a Tasco 3x9 I pulled from a trade rifle that probably cost about $75 brand new! It works great within its limitations and allows me to shoot the rifle now with fine accuracy, but I'd sure hate to take a hostage recovery shot with it. The Mark 4? Not so much of an issue...

Currently waiting on my MK12 Mod0 upper from PRI. Keep the gun it is not costing you anything while you wait to save up for the glass.

 

[silentvoice71]

The lowers stephen are all 80% lowers lol that are done. I can sell the rifle build another rifle buy a few parts and a jig and finish another. Sell 1 build 2.

 

[stephen87]

Oh, gotcha. I thought you meant they were all assembled and awaiting uppers.
