It has come to our attention that our last batch of MEGA uppers have “out of spec” top rails.  They were cut wider and some of the rings or sights do not fit properly.  I was able to test an ARMS 40L on some of the lowers we have in stock and they did not fit.

If your upper is defective, you may contact MEGA for warranty replacement.  I called them today to let them know about our discovery.  The MEGA uppers I have are also defective so I can’t offer to replace them but if you would like a different brand, please let me know and I’d be more than happy to replace it for you or offer a refund.

Once again, please check your upper.  It may or may not be defective but I wanted to get the word out to you as soon as we found out.

Oh yeah, I just ordered a Mega Upper.  We did have a board member recently post about the same issue, just personal though.

Crud.  Now I'm worried about my rifle that is coming on Monday or Tuesday.  It's an all Mega affair.  If somebody has the correct measurements I'd like them so I can check things out before I start banging away.

I just got my Mega upper a couple of weeks ago. I don't have my calipers here at home but with a tape measure I came up with 27/32. I also checked a pictinny rail that i have for a light mount. It came to 26/32. I laid the pic rail on top of the Mega and you can see about a 32nd differance. I will check with my Micrometer tomarrow.
I will also be on the phone with Brian (I have him on speed dial) at Mega Machine Works Shortly after that.
I really like the Mega lower and upper and I hope this won't be an issue. Thanks for the heads up.

Unless your having issues putting things on your mega upper don't worry about it. It sounds like a case of one defective upper becoming mass hysteria.

no not a single matter every upper they rainer had was like that so i wouldn't call it one case.  And if i build it and every thing then go to put my arms flip up sight on it down the road which i don't have it is going to be a waste of putting it together

I wonder if that's why they're "out of stock" at Rainier?  Too bad, I was about to order one the other night.
