This quality tactical rifle is configured similarly to the famed U.S. Military issued Mark 11 and Mark 111 sniper rifles used by the Army, Navy and Marine Corp, this example most closely resembles the Navy and USMC issue MK11 Mod 0 series rifles. The metal surfaces retain about 98-99% original phosphate and anodized black finish with some light handling marks and a small amount of loss that is noticeable around the barrel’s suppressor lug. Rifle is equipped with the SR-25 free float quad-rail adapter system and has a standard A2 style buttstock and pistolgrip, all which rate excellent and the upper receiver assembly is numbered identical to the lower. Although the right side of the lower receiver is not marked “RIFLE 7.62 Mk 11 Mod 0” above the Vero Beach, FL address, the present markings are correct for the vintage of these earlier Vero Beach rifles and are identical to an existing Mark 11 Mod 0 rifle that is serial numbered only seven numbers from this one. Mounted to the flattop picatinny rail is a Leupold Vari-XIII 4.5-14X50mm Long Range riflescope that features a mil-dot reticle and has bright, excellent optics. The scope has raised target turrets, a side focus and is equipped with Butler Creek flip-up lens covers. The rifle’s other features include an un-marred brass deflector, a two-stage match trigger, a stainless bolt carrier group dated “11/98”, picatinny rail covers, and a Harris LM bi-pod that is mounted to the underside of the forearm. Rifle comes housed in an original Knights Pelican 1700 series hard case which is cut out for the rifle and the included accessories. The case includes a correct SR-25 manual, a “Bill of Material” which lists the features and many factory options and accessories of the Mk 11 Mod 0 rifles, copies of articles detailing the Mk 11 Mod 0 history, the factory LWM test target dated “4/5/00”, a complete cleaning kit and bore guide, a black Brownells Competitor Plus leather sling, an SR-25 field repair kit, and four 20 round magazines that are still sealed in their original packaging. Knights did not offer the Mark 11 Mod 0 packages for commercial sales until 2003, but production of the Mark 11 began much earlier with some rifles being possibly rotated into the commercial market post their service use. An included card with the rifle indicates that only 24 of those military sniper rifles that were released for civilian purchase, and though this number was not able to be confirmed by the factory, they did feel that is seemed appropriate for that time. According to the factory they are not at liberty to discuss the lineage of where specific rifles were shipped or what organizations may have used them, however they did suggest that this may have been built for a law enforcement agency or individual before it was sold commercially. Rifles similar to this example were used by the Delta teams in Afghanistan, multiple U.S. forces during the Iraq war and are still in service today. More recently, the Mark 11 rifles were used by the Navy Seals in the liberation of Captain Phillips from Somali pirates. Originally designed by Reed Knight and Eugene Stoner, this Knights Armament system brings the AR-15 platform back closer to the original 308/7.62 AR-10 Stoner design but still utilizes many AR-15 interchangeable parts. The SR-25 series rifles boast incredible and consistent sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards using match grade ammunition and the Knights literature says "The trained sniper armed with the KAC MK11 Mod 0 and proper ammunition can consistently hit personnel sized targets at ranges of 1,000 meters". The original version of the SR-25 features a 24” barrel that was determined by the armed forces to be too long for service use, especially when used with the suppressor. The Mk 11 Mod 0 series rifles were completely redesigned with 20” Obermeyer barrels that had the same accuracy guarantee as the longer civilian match models and would meet the overall length restriction when used with the suppressor. This is an incredible tactical package that is as rugged as it is practical and would stand apart in any modern service rifle shoot or long range competition, not to mention its unprecedented tactical potential. Again the factory would not confirm that this rifle was originally built as a Mark 11 Mod 0 series rifle, but did suggest that given its configuration and the fact that both the upper and lower were numbered alike that it is highly probable that this Lightweight Match model rifle was built for use for law enforcement agency or other similar group. This example is in as-new, condition and minus the very small amount of loss already noted, does not appear to have been fired or seen any use since it left the factory.
