3 grand, no barrel no lower. I'm not that big of an HK fanboy.

Lolz. I'd rather buy a KAC SR15 for $2000-2100 and then that Caracal CAR816 for $900 than drop $3000 on a partial parts kit.

Can a standard lower, bolt and barrel be used? Like basic Colt M4 parts?

My understanding is Brownells has clone lowers and reproduction barrels in the works. Don't know about the bolts?
A standard lower should work with the upper though. |

10% off $99 or more at Brownells Code 2AD + free shipping
Takes a little bit of the sting out of some of the parts. |

Brownells didn't do a good job pricing this out...sorry...but there are enough HK fan boys in the USA that will pay this and some.

Brownells coupon. 10% off $99 or more Code L37
Take 10% off that drops it down to $2700 and then take $500 off for the gift cert brings the total of the kit to $2200. You then can use the gift cert to buy the barrel and half of the bolt. You would be in a new to like new parts kit for $2800ish. I'm not a huge HK fanboy either but why buy wore out or heavily used parts kit on GB go for the same price. |

However on the other hand, the Brownells' still expensive for an upper that doesn't have a true HK barrel or HK bolt. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's true and a good point. I haven't looked to see what the going rate is for used HK416 uppers recently. But pricing can't be too far off each other. However on the other hand, the Brownells' still expensive for an upper that doesn't have a true HK barrel or HK bolt. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah I much rather have a true HK upper with a proper HK barrel than this crap of a parts kit from Brownell's...only thing that Brownell's did right is the reproduction lowers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Cheapeast 416 upper I've found online was going for almost 4K and that was used. The parts kit from Brownells are orignial HK parts so not sure how its crap. You could find a HK barrel online, difficult but not impossible. |

Nothing about this Brownells kit is attractive to me.....All the money you're spending on this and it still has their name on the front of the magwell in horrible giant block lettering.
