Just some pics of my 'poor mans' Mk 11 Mod 0 replica. It has an LMT lower and a KAC upper. Scope is a MIL-SPEC marked NF 3.5-15x. Project started w/ a salty original DRMO’ed Mk 11 case five years ago.
Yep, I bought that case on this forum in October 2019 and decided that one day I should try to fill it with an AR-10 type of rifle...
...so I purchased a stripped LMT lower and that started a long journey...
...Five years later, now it only needs the proper “Big knob” KAC rear sight at this point. Didn't buy a KAC suppressor for it back in 2019-2020 before they were discontinued. That was a mistake.
The AN/PEQ-2A is dated Feb 2007, so it’s basically period correct too.
For those who noticed the inventory stickers on bottom right side the case. The original sticker for the Leupold 3.5-10x40mm scope was removed and handwritten in white paint pen is "SCOPE Q04328." That serial number correlates with a 2005-06 era Nightforce 3.5-15x militay scope. SOCOM awarded NightForce its first contract in July 2005, and some Mk 11 Mod 0s got these new/updated NF scopes in the 2005-6 era. The MIL-SPEC NF 3.5-15x scope seen here is a "P" prefix and from that same era. Just a random detail re the old case and the scope that I used. (This was not planned, as I didn't realize this coincidence until I called Nightforce, and asked them about the two serial numbers and the "Q" and "P" prefixes).
Period correct NF “MIL-SPEC” 3.5-15x50mm scope w/ the hard to find ‘correct’ KAC rings.
I shot it last weekend at a Quantico Shooting Club event for the first time. I cleaned the target at 300 yards with a 150-7x score with Federal 175 Gold Medal Match ammo. No complaints from me, except for the high cost of finally putting this replica Mk 11 together. Happy Friday.
