In the post Cloak answer some questions on this, and was clear they are shooting for release this year... I'm sure it's a two week thing. They also said it would be DPMS style lower comparable. I'll be in on one of these. Hopefully someone makes a duel feed lower right away, or at least when these uppers are more realistically close to release. |

I personally would not buy one, until the importer shows complete availability of spare parts, on the shelf, ready to ship. Tony |

It's the MFR76 It has been around since the MFR56 Article with pics here: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/09/03/idef-2021-turkish-system-defence-mfr-56-light-machine-gun/ The thing about the Turks is you never know what you are going to get.  Some of the feed mech parts are MIM or some sort of injection mold process from what I can tell so who knows on longevity there. I know they are having firing pin issues right now and that makes sense... Cuz Turks make stuff overly hard for some reason.With that said it sounds like Cloak is doing as much in house work to fix the issues so that's good. |

Yes, using an AR15 lower would be slightly cheaper than using an AR10 lower, but I don't think "slightly cheaper" matters all that much when the upper will be at least $5k. For an upper like a 7.62 version of the Lima6, it doesn't matter as much if it uses an AR15 lower since that upper can't feed from box mags anyways. |
