The MK12 was a little different because it was a program of record, it had very definitive specs and it’s all written down. Most commonly though, a RECCE rifle would have a 16” stainless barrel with a good match trigger. This is a personal MK12 style build…one of the author’s all time favorite firearms. There really was no spec for them initially, so there were a lot of variations. Guys built them up while there, and they could make the changes they wanted. It’s hard to say that there is a “traditional RECCE” rifle in any sense because it really was kind of organic. Can you talk about how the concept has evolved over time? Q: Today, it’s sometimes hard to get a clear handle on what exactly a RECCE rifle is…I even see a lot of mini-RECCEs. So, the MK12 was actually an extension, an actual programmatic continuation, if you will, of RECCE Rifles. The MK12 ended up going more SOCOM-wide, and even the Marine Corps picked up some of the MK12s as well. These guns are what actually evolved later into the whole MK12 concept. So these guns were really good, functional rifles that came out of some of the Tier One units that were being built locally by armorers or smiths for that purpose. Don’t miss our interview with Monty about the MK12 It would meet most of your needs and you have higher magazine capacity than you’d have with a 7.62 rifle. Instead, a lot of missions were simply to reconnoiter, to look and gather intelligence… If you were to end up getting into any type of engagement, we found having snipers with an AR could be a lot more effective.Īs it turned out in Iraq, most of your engagements were at 300-400 yards or so…the 5.56, especially the 77-grain ammo that was developed for it, is fine. The “RECCE rifle” by name and concept, in military terms, came about from some of the Tier One units looking for a precision weapon in the AR platform for guys doing recon…While doing reconnaissance, they wanted an accurate weapon in 5.56 with ammo commonality.Ī lot of times these would not be designated sniper missions where you were assigned to go out and engage and shoot people.
