Silencer -A) Knight’s Manufacturing Co. SR-25 Mk 11 MOD 0 Sniper Rifle - Serial no. K10746, 7.62x51mm NATO (308) cal., 20
inch round bbl., black finish, synthetic stock. This is a highly desirable example of an iconic Knight’s Manufacturing Co. (Knight’s
Armament Company) SR-25 Mk 11 MOD 0 rifle as adopted by U.S. SOCOM (Special Operations Command) as a dedicated semi-
automatic sniper system in May 2000 and subsequently used extensively throughout the Global War on Terror by the U.S. Navy,
Marine Corps, and special forces units. This is one of only 100 or less contract overrun examples reportedly released by Knight’s Armament
following the completion of the Navy SEAL contract. This Mk 11 MOD 0 rifle, serial number K10746, is only 7 numbers away from another example
recently sold by Rock Island Auction Company bearing serial number K10739 (Lot 525, August 2024 Premier). The Knight’s SR-25 rifle was originally
created in the 1990s as a collaboration between C. Reed Knight, Jr. and Eugene Stoner, the inventor of the AR-10 and AR-15, and was intended as
a purpose built designated marksman rifle and semi-automatic sniper rifle. Features an Obermeyer 20 inch
barrel properly without threads at the muzzle, and a Picatinny gas block with mounting collar for the included
silencer. The barrel is surrounded by a free-floating Knight’s Armament RAS Picatinny rail forend with mounted
rail covers for grip and a Harris SLM bipod on the lower rail, and a slot in the top front section for clearance
of the gas block mounted flip-up front sight. A flip-up 200-600 meter rear sight, A2 type pistol grip and fixed
stock, and a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 mm Long Range scope are fitted to the rifle. Matching serial numbers
on the upper and lower receivers, as well as on the bolt head. Includes its original Pelican 1700 deployment
case with matching handwritten numbers taped on the outside, Mk 11 Mod 0 manual, bore guide, cleaning
kit, two extra 10-round magazines, one extra 20-round magazine, Brownells Competitor Plus leather sling, one
Butler Creek scope lens cover, and a pair of Leupold scope lens covers.
CONDITION: Excellent overall, retains 99% original black finish with minimal handling evidence. Mechanically

sniper rifle with its deployment case and silencer is the ultimate set for the advanced U.S. military collector!
