But can you get the compactness for shooting out of a vehicle? Everything is a trade off, isn't it? Short barrel, short-gas tubed rifles need a heavier buffer and spring to run reliably and the LW carriers won't run as many rounds without cleaning as the longer gun.

War Eagle... Mind parting out the rifle in the picture some day when you get time?

That rifle now has a different barrel, irons, handguard, and also wears a suppressor most of the time. However, in the pic the specs were:
Complete LMT SOPMOD lower Geissele SD-E trigger Ergo Tac Deluxe grip Daniel Defense Upper BCM M16 BCG Noveske NSR handguard Noveske 18" barrel Vortex flash suppressor Atlas bipod Nightforce 2.5-10x42 in a ADM Recon mount Troy irons

Huh I missed this thread previously Daniel Defense Mk12 I've replaced the DD buttstock with a Magpul, changed the trigger to a Geissele SDM, and changed the flash hider to a PWS triad. Completely reliable and easy to shoot. So far not a tack driver, but is getting a little better. I've bought some ASC mags and plan to try some 75gr Amax at 2.31 OAL. I've also got a build started with a Noveske 18" SPR contour, mid-length, so it should be interesting to see how the comparison plays out. And if I decide they are too heavy, there is always a 6920...

Does the DD mark 12 wear a chromed barrel? I cannot remember? All my chromed barrels tighten up after ironing out the bumps with about 1000 rounds.

Your thoughts on the MK12 SPR ? Everyone should have one, of course....... Mine is a KAC, 18" with a SS Kreiger barrel that weighs under 8 pounds, bare. Barrel length is not necessarily the determining factor in accuracy & neither is weight, & as I understand it, the military is now going to source a revised configuration to fill the role mostly filled previously by the MK 12, but lighter & with a 16" barrel. Supposedly, H-K is the chosen supplier. MM

It does seem to be shooting a bit better now, after 200-300 rounds. At one point I thought about chamfering the muzzle of the DD, and bought a good piloted muzzle reamer. The DD took a pilot .001 larger than the Noveske, when I checked the two. The reamer also wouldn't even begin to cut the nitrided layer
