I like them better than any other levers on the market. |

WOO! 8 months after submitting my first Form 1 I got the approval email this morning. Submitted 20 June 2016 while I was deployed via eForms with a trust. Approved 15 Feb 2017. The PDF they attached in the email has the tax stamp in the top right behind the "Tax Paid" marking. Do I need to wait for a physical piece of mail with the tax stamp? My lower needs to be engraved anyways and I need to send the upper off to ADCO for a chop.

This, more often than not, is the case...with any non-standard accessory. With respect to Pigs, we still have a couple of Flaming Pigs floating around. Someone thought they might be good at directing muzzle flash/blast downrange...they weren't. Unless someone specifically asks an armorer to remove it, they get passed along. |

I really like the config as does anybody that shoots it. I used a Colt 6921SP upper (factory 10") and the gas port is HUGE! I'm running an H3 buffer and a Springco Orange (308) spring. Even with that it'll cycle Wolf with no can and gas with the can is acceptable. I poo-poo'ed on the whole mini-recce thing until I tried it... a suppressed 10-10.5 inch upper with an ACOG/reflex combo is really hard to beat if you want a 300 meter gun in a tiny package... plus with everyone mounting their optics higher... the reflex on top of the acog is just the right height... also, it blooms a little bit, but the reflex is totally usable under head mounted NODs, although an adjustable RMR would be better... the JPoints and burris MRDs are good to go Might reconfigure my second MK18 back to a mini recce... as it sits now, I have two wearing aimpoints and the second never gets shot really |

Are 416 clones allowed here. Here is the start of mine. I ordered a Geissele Super Modular rail that should be in soon. This is a TD-415 upper that has worked flawlessly so far. When I pull the gas block to shave the hk sling loops I am going to port the front of the gas black to reduce some of the blow back. These uppers have had great reviews coming from battlefield Vegas, if I remember correctly they got close to 100k rounds through the TD-415 and only 10k through the MR556 before the barrel was toast.

I might buy a Titan Defense upper to see how they compare |

you do know the Titan Defense upper receivers are higher than a mr556/416 and won't work with aftermarked 416 rails correct?

Correct they have about 0.030 of a inch difference in height between the two which means the Geissele rail with fit but be a bit low. I plan on running a riser so I am not concerned about this. |

I never wanted to get rid of it since I'd be without an optic, guess now that I'm sending my barrel in to be cut it's as good a time as any. As much as I want to keep it, I can't justify keeping it. And if I ever want one back again, the hunt would be on. That's half the fun anyway.

Listen to SS, hes not lying to you. Those parts on HKparts i don think will be made again. The 10.4 barrel kit is out and i dont thik its coming back. TB ran into trouble and said he doesnt know if hes gonna do em again. This was supposed to be the Gen 2 version. So take it for what its worth. |

Not sure what SS said I should listen to. Titan Defense has been closed down for some time now. HK Parts is supposed to be making complete US made 416's in the future. I bought this upper because it is the cheapest way to get a semi close 416 clone, I have plenty of other guns so if this one breaks it breaks but it wont be the end of the world to me. Battlefield has had great luck with their TD415 upper so I am not really concerned. |

Yeah thats what i mean, HKparts was getting the parts from TB, he had the tooling and was making them but something happened and now HKparts might not be able to ever get the parts in again. The Gen 2 was supposed to be the correct height also. |
