Due to the MK12's extended .750" profile forward of the gas block, significant marring of any paint/Cerakote/finish will occur from installation/removal of the gas block (whether pinned or set screw), no matter the finish (as the original MK12's were.)
PINNED AND CERAKOTED OPTION AVAILABLE HERE
These are Crane Spec. MK12 barrels. These barrels are the result of tens of thousands of dollars in development done by the U.S. government to give our Special Operations guys the best weapon system they can have. We have spoken with many riflemen who have used these barrels and carried them in combat and have found unanimous satisfaction with their reliability and accuracy. Best option for long range, high precision shooting.
