Brownells importing HK 416 clone parts

Anybody else find this cool? I posted this over at full30 too but no one responded.  I was pretty shocked when I read this, the 416 has always been kind of unobtanium

Seems like an expensive gimmick to me. That’s a lot of money for a piston AR-15 you put together yourself. No doubt they will sell some but betting there will be some left for a clearance sale in a couple years.

Never mind then, f**k spending that. The Titan 416 clones were only 1k

That's some serious FanBoy Territory right there.  Clones of these things will be popping up on ARF all over the place.
