I am in the process of building a Mark 12 SPR clone and I wonder if anyone might know what the exact gas port location and diameter might be?

I have a Schneider SS 7-twist 5-poly barrel blank and I thought it would be one heck of a lot easier to ascertain this critical dimensional information, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks Mikey,

I'll see if I can dig up the info there.

After making a few phone calls and begging, I believe I've gotten the info - but if I tell you where I got it, I'd have to... :neener:

After talking to a very fine gentleman at a well-known precission AR-15 company, I drew up this schematic.

This is a MARK 12 SPR:

Only I won't be needing the suppressor for shooting holes in paper.

Pictures of yours as you build it too I mean, sounds like an interesting project for sure.

Interesting. I'd love to see a 20" with that profile, maybe with a slight taper under the handguards.
