MK MK12 Mod I 72DPI
This rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO.
This platform is built on a fluted 416R stainless steel barrel with a matte finish. All 5.56 NATO barrels are threaded with a 1/2X28 pitch.
All of our Bolt Carriers go through a R.E.M Polish process prior to nitride coating. The R.E.M Polish process reduces friction, improves part durability, improves oil retention, and improves contact & bending fatigue. Our Bolts are MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspected) and coated in a durable nitride finish.

Description

The Mk12 Mod1 or Special Purpose Rifle was used heavily by Special Operations Forces of both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy.  It’s a modified light designated marksman variation of the M16 chambered in 5.56x45mm.

This TYPE-A Mk12 Mod1 is built on an accurate Long Rifle platform with proven mil-spec components to make it an incredibly versatile rifle. The Mk12 Mod1 Long Rifle is equipped with a 18″ 416R Stainless steel match grade barrel with an Allen Engineering AEMB muzzle mount coupled with an SPR collar to fit an Allen AEM5 suppressor.  It’s equipped with our TYPE-A MK Series Quad Rail & B5 Sopmod furniture.  The TYPE-A Mk12 Mod1 is driven by our TYPE-A QPQ bolt carrier group w/R.E.M Polish.  It’s also equipped with a DGI (direct gas impingement) system and our new TYPE-A PMC Straight 2-stage trigger to give it consistent reliability time after time.

NOTE:  All of our rifles are Hardcoat Anodized and then Cerakoted to give you a longer lasting more durable finish.  We wanted your rifle to wear to the anodized surface vs. the raw aluminum surface like some of our competitors.  Just another added benefit making our rifles…TYPE-A.

****Please Note: All NFA rules apply. Please check with your local state laws.

PCC

"Considering getting into an AR9?  Here’s some things to consider: 1) A PCC can broaden the scope of your training.  There are many ranges that don’t allow rifles but will allow handgun cartridges.  A PCC also allows you to train on steel much closer than you would with a traditional 5.56 or variant. 2) A shoulder-fired 9mm is a great rifle the whole family can enjoy.  There’s virtually no recoil and they’re much quieter than a traditional AR (even unsuppressed). 3) They’re relatively cheap to run. 4) PCC’s make great home-defense options.  Not saying there’s anything wrong with a 5.56 for home defense.  Just consider your environment, shot ranges, and round performance of possible misses (5.56 compared to 9mm through drywall, studs, and other building materials).  Noise may be another consideration.  If you run suppressed then either platform is no problem, however open muzzle indoors?  The 9mm is less likely to deafen someone. 5) They do not run as dirty.  Since a PCC is a blowback system, you won’t get the same carbon buildup as with a direct gas rifle. 6) There’s nothing more fun about shooting a 9mm from your shoulder."
