Prototypian inquiry I wonder, as Andy's fame spreads and his mechanical artistry gathers more fans, does his first Mk4 project go up in value? :banana

Guys, I'm just back from a shoot where I put over 1K rds through a 10" 416 upper. I have shot this same upper before with and without a can. I generally put 1500-2000 rds through it before stopping to clean. I am not a big fan of the "HK, because we hate you" mentality of the mfr, but I will...

Not worth anything more than std milspec mags. The type of steel used is not particularly corrosion resistant. It attracts a magnet.

FWIW, I returned my Spike's upper after 3 attempts at correcting a safety issue. I ordered a Model 1 Sales dedicated .22 upper in the same configuration (except has .22 LR barrel and correct twist) and after a few sessions, it now runs 100%. Was much less expensive too.

You might have to zoom out on those pictures a bit so we can see what we're dealing with. The MTY mag is probably a military-issue for the Sterling and preferred over the commercial magazine by US collectors.

Got any pics of your wife's Mk4? Wanna buy some? Wanna repark and crinkle finish it?

No difference when buying from DLO. The tube can be made into either a MK4 or MK5.

Tricky buggers when they get shorter than Eugene intended/anticipated...

Backwards.

You should be GTG with anything except the Remington, like Vegas said. I've run several cases of Federal AE 115gr FMJ without any hiccups.

Ummm, well, you aren't exactly the only one who dropped the big bux. But, take heart, your dollars are only worth about 60 percent what they were just a few years ago.:thinking

Only the "C" students become judges ;) Based upon your excellent idea, I'm going to investigate doing the same thing here. Thank you.

Welcome Conrad101st, We need one more Sterling-toting member of the Bar! Hyperion.

FWIW, thought that I would chime in with my limited experience, which is probably a little backwards. I've shot semi with both a stock Colt direct impingment system and the H&K 416 10.5" gas piston system. My experience with FA fire is with the H&K upper only. I estimate that ROF was in the...

Angela from Spikes Tactical sent me an email on March 4th: "Hello Gentlemen, I just wanted to give you an update on the auto trip and anti bounce you have on backorder with us. I have been trying for over three months now to get some from Ceiner, then I started even checking with other vendors...

droolworthy BTW, L34A1 is in this picture. Where's Waldo?

Vegas, Tripp and MarkV, thank you for your valuable opinions. Based upon that and other's opinions, I'll be requesting the refund and look elsewhere (Model 1) for my rimfire kicks.

Not anymore. Spike's has had the upper (for the third time) since February 12. I can tell you that the extractor relief cut does not reach the circumference of the chamber bore. In fact, there is about a sixteenth of an inch of material remaining between the bore circumference and the...

So, here’s the story: I order up a Spike’s Tactical .22 complete upper for a Colt M16A1. The Spike’s set-up uses a modified Ciener bolt. The complete assembly arrives sans the auto-trip and anti-bounce weight. Reportedly, JAC got wind of Spike’s intention to manufacture their own proprietary...

OH! The Humanity! That's funny stuff.
