5.56 SPR Mk 12

Ammo commonality, too -- in an infantry squad, say, you've got mags of 5.56mm ready to go if your marksman runs dry (or just can't get) Mk 262. You can do something similar with 7.62 if M118LR isn't available, by delinking MG ammo, but accuracy is going to suffer compared to green tip (or ball M80 7.62, if you can get it) since they loosen quality control some on MG ammo to get a better beaten zone downrange.

As for which one to build, I'd say it comes down to which caliber you're more interested in shooting. Both platforms, built right, will give you great accuracy.

Sounds good. I figured that a squad DMR would want ammo commonality with his mates.

So we don't thread hijack, here's the discussion thread on my DMR project...

After looking around a good little bit, I keep coming back to a Larue Tactical 18" stealth upper.

Did you check out Centurion Arms? They're one of the manufacturers the SEALs contracted to build the SPRs and they do sell to civilians.

centurion also rocks.. IIRC, they're even further out than noveske, though.

 

[bkb0000]

i think noveske is a little more practical for most civilians, though. unless you just really have your heart set on an exact replica, a telescoping stock, plentiful rail place, VIS, and a vortex are really want you want. i'd rather take a noveske SPR into combat, personally.

I dont have to have a look a like. I want a rifle that fills the role of the SPR. I want to push the engagement range I have with a semi auto platform.
