So Tactical Shit is advertising MFR beltfed uppers for sale.  The price looks good,  Basically a Turkish MCR that is in use in the Philippines.  I have heard some good things from my wives nephew who is serving in the PI Marines.  None the less it's good to see another contender in the world!  

MFR For Sale

Price is much higher than what vengarr(RIP) was trying to import them for. And way more than anything id pay for from Turkey.

More to the market is nice though. But this is just a turkish MCR copy at fightlite prices

I'm biased, but I really hope the name "MC-Akbar" catches on for these

The more belt-fed uppers that hit the market, the better...  will drive innovation and help steer prices.

Looks nice but it would need to come down in price substantially before I would consider buying an imported belt-fed.

Yeah....lets learn something from the Saiga-12 fiasco, where they imported tens of thousands of guns and Zero spare parts.

And this is Belt-Fed.  If you have enough money, you can wear shit out in a weekend.

What’s the parts compatibility like?
And why aren’t they already offering spare barrel assemblies? lol

I can tell you that an MCR Barrel will not work in the MFR.

Looks like YouTubers have gained access to hype them up.

Cloak can’t import Turk barrels and only had enough parts for the barrels for the uppers they ordered in the first batch.

Why is that?

Should be able to ship them in by the pallet with the current import regs.

You can’t import any barrel you want. There still has to be some use for a comparable gun in the states. There are some games being played with barrels currently, and we are hoping it doesn’t come back to bite importers in the ass. (I work for an importer btw)

There were already samples in the US. Under the dual use rules we have now, they definitely should be able to import the barrel assemblies. If many companies can import pkm, dp28, cetme, and multiple subgun barrels without issue, I cant see a reason not to import the turkish mr556 barrels.

Yeah that’s my understanding too (as those are all “non-sporting” barrels).

Is there some other sanction/prohibition specifically against Turkish barrels?

@SGT-Fish
Who is importing PKM barrels?
And are they also importing parts kits?

Ive only seen one or two come in. But hoping for more. My understanding is that they are hard to source right now with Ukraine and all.

The only thing that would stop them in if turkey wont allow the export. But they have no problem with shotguns. Handguns, ammo, and I believe even semi-auto rifles.

Non-sportized barrels foreign made barrels are not able to be imported.

DUH.

You think all the AK kits with no barrels...just went randomly missing the last 10 years?

I thought some recent ruling allows parts kits to come in with there original barrels intact?

You obviously haven't been paying attention the last year.

A dual use exemption is in place that allows for import of all that stuff.

DUH!!!!!

How do you think all the recent cetme, AK, dp27, etc kits have been coming with original barrels lately?

DUH!
