Talk:Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle

message: I assume the idea of two disputable series of evolution comes from Christopher Bartocci's Black Rifle II. He does not use the term "Proto I" and "Proto II", but does refer to a first-generation and a second-generation. The first-generation of SPRs had aluminum free-floating handguards and Swan #38 sleeves and were meant for M4A1 lower receivers, so they are probably the prototype upper receivers seen on page 107 and 108. The caption on page 108 refers to a "second variation of the SPR upper receiver", which I assume to mean the second of the three pictured on page 107.
I am convinced that the second-generation of SPRs refers to the SPR, SPR/A, and SPR/B. The second-generation used M16A1 lowers and SPRs, SPR/As, and SPR/Bs are seen with M16A1 lower receivers. There was a 100-unit production run of the second-generation SPR, and most of those were sent to Southwest Asia for Operation Enduring Freedom. There are numerous images of SPRs, SPR/As, and SPR/Bs in use in Afghanistan, so it is highly probable that SPRs, SPR/As and SPR/Bs are the second-generation SPRs.
It should also be noted that the Mk 12 Mod 1 is an alternative to the Mk 12 Mod 0, not a replacement. Both are currently in use.

message: Could we possibly rename this article to simply remove the "Mod" portion of the designation in the title rather than have "Mod X."  It seems cleaner in my mind than its current form.  Any thoughts? -- Thatguy96 13:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That to me seems equivalent to renaming the 5.56x45mm NATO page to "5.56 NATO", which was discussed and decided against. Spartan198 (talk) 13:23, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi, I made some changes to the accessories section, specifically the area about the suppressors on the MK12.  To be aware of a conflict of interest, I am part owner of Otter Creek Labs. 
It seems unfair and incorrect to only mention the AEM5 and OCM5 by name when there are actually many different "clones" of the ops inc suppressor.  In my changes, I have included a citation that compares 3 of them, in addition to the original.  The AEM5 and Ops inc models definitely deserve a mention because they are the original, however anything else is just a clone and should either be referenced all together or not at all.
