    AR-15 first-timer

    Your dealer needs some serious remedial training when it comes to the laws regarding lowers. The Feds say you have to be 21 to buy an AR lower because the law says that an 18 year old can only buy a rifle or a shotgun and a AR lower receiver is not a rife or a shotgun. On the other hand, it...

    Many people have a valid concern about not being able to handle the merchandise prior to buying it. Obviously, if the item is NIB (New In Box) this is less of a concern but, with used items, don't be afraid to ask questions and for more photos. Interacting with the seller before the sale can...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    You said, according to my logic, based on the fact that there are MORE D/I ARs, they must be superior. I never said there were more 416 out there than D/I ARs. It is you who are making no sense. As for the second part I think I already said that. To quote myself: And also: So, other...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    If you have read my posts I am not claiming that the 416 is the geatest rifle ever. This whole thing got started because posters were saying the 416 is overpriced junk and a rip off. I have said that is not accurate and made three basic points. First: HK is not setting the price for the...

    The story I quoted was simply the first one that popped up on Google. I never claimed it was the be all and end all. I encourage anyone who is interested to do their own Google search and read numerous articles and draw their own conclusion. I have talked with Larry Vickers on several...

    There seems to be quite a few things you have not realized. Here is a HK parts dealer and they list them as the same part: https://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=47&idcategory=133 The 416, G36 and SL8 all use the same piston. I don't think that is necessary because most...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    There is one major point that many people seem to not understand. $4,000 is not HK's price for the 416 upper. H&K technically does not sell the 416 upper to non-military or government agencies due to German laws about exporting military weapons, not because they hate you. Certain...

    Look in the mirror, the only person deflecting is you I have answered almost all questions put to me, I'm not asking anybody to take my opinion. Thats all almost anybody else has done. Experts the world over frequently choose H&K. That is a fact. You have chosen to attack me...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    No, I have never fired a piece of piece of Louis Vuitton luggage. But I do own two SL8s that use the exact same gas system as the 416 as well as firing thousands of rounds through different G36 variants that also use he same gas system. I also have two Colt AR15s and have fired many rounds...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    Just to clarify one thing, the price of a 416 upper is sold a a premium to what it's real price is because it is not sold directly to civilians. When H&K come out with their USA made, civilian available 5.56 and 7.62 piston driven ARs, the price for the whole rifle is reported to be in the...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    Like I said in my first post in this thread, every time I post anything positive about H&K I become a lightning rod for everyones flames about H&K. I do not work for H&K, It is not my job to defend them, I do not think H&K are perfect, but I do think peoples over zealous hatred of the company...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    I agree, it is a personal decision. Is a Ferrari 430 worth three times the price of a Corvette ZR-1? Some people buy the Ferrari, some the Corvette. Neither is wrong and the Ferrari is not a rip off. Apples to oranges, none of those companies make tactical weapons like we are discussing. I...

    922r and permanently attached muzzle attachments.

    Grey is the BATFE's favorite color. To make things even grayer, Czechpoint, the importers of the SA vz 58 and sellers of the imported muzzle break have advised me that they still consider a foreign barrel permanently attached to a foreign muzzle device to be two foreign parts under 922(r). Of...

    922r and permanently attached muzzle attachments.

    I believe it would also because, in the case of the C93 Sporter, the gun came with a tag that says the barrel is made in the USA. Also, the barrel is just over 16" so there would be no need to permanently attach the flash hider to avoid being a SBR, yet the flash hider is permanently attached...

    Absolutely, I agree with you 100%. Back to the car analogy a Chevy will do a fine job of getting you back and forth to work, picking up the kids and going to the grocery store. You certainly don't need a Lambo, Ferrari or Bentley to get the job done. On the other hand, you don't seem to get a...

    7.62x54r ammo question surpplus.

    What's the big deal with shooting corrosive ammo. Usually it's just the primer that is mildly corrosive anyway. It's especially easy to take care of in a bolt action gun as one swipe of a patch up and down the barrel and then wipe the bolt face with the same patch and you are good to go...

    416 uppers? last chance?

    I always get flamed every time I say this but here goes again. H&K put more engineering into their piston design than just about any other company out there. It is impossible to explain this concept to most people because it is not immediately visible to the untrained eye. However look at a...

    922r and permanently attached muzzle attachments.

    While I would still appreciate anybody who can document this, I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question and say yes, permanently attaching an imported muzzle device to a barrel following BATF specifications does not add another imported part to your 922r import part count. I have...

    qustion about intent to manufacture a machine gun

    Yes, but if enforced to the fullest extent of the law, anyone who owns a Garand and a piece of string is in possession of an illegal machine gun. There is no black or white. The rules vary from weapon to weapon just like with some rifles the upper is the receiver and some guns the lower is...

    qustion about intent to manufacture a machine gun

    I agree with you 100% It's not quite that simple. You can own a full-auto trigger pack for a HK roller locked gun (HK-91,92,94 etc) which is a machine gun part and own the gun, but it's not illegal. The BATF has some crazy rule about the difference between a semi-auto and a machine gun is...
