98Z5V Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 At this point, they're gonna be hard(er) to find - as soon as GearScout broke that story, these things started disappearing like cupcakes at an obesity convention.Be careful if you're looking on auction-type sites, because the price gouging will commence shortly.

98Z5V Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Another option - pick up the MA-TEN upper/lower, and toss a DD Lite rail on it. That would be a very solid, damn good looking setup. <thumbsup> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 This isn't mine (stole the pic), but it's a MA-TEN uper/lower with the DD Lite rail:I have a 14.5" 5.56 AR with the DD Mk18 RIS II rail, and that's the same mounting system as the Lite rail - you could club someone to death with this thing, and the rail wouldn't even think about budging... It's DAMN solid lockup and mounting... <thumbsup> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOG Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 that is a really good option nad if i can't find one at a good price that will certainly do the trick.i guess the options are better that getting hosed on cost.thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ive got a 5.56 gun with a Vltor MUR upper on a Mega lower, with the DD Lite rail, and as 98 says, it uses a rock solid mounting design, maybe the strongest that I've seen. An added bebefit to the seperate components over a monolithic upper is that, should you decide that you want to go with a different barrel rail configuration, you have the ability to do it. I'm wondering, do they sell non monolithic MA TEN uppers seperate from the lowers? Another potential benefit, is that, should your rail become damaged, you could replace the handguard without having to switch the whole upper, and finally, a benefit (for me) with the seperate components, is that I can buy the parts one at a time so i don't take such a big financial hit all at once. I was looking at the Mega mono uppers, and to buy one is (was) a decent piece of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOG Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 More good points to ponder and i have looked at the DD rails and I am impressed. i am starting to lean that way as it would be way more cost effective NOW that people have bought up the mono's in the last 6 days.they still make the upper and lower just not the mono.keep the thoughts coming.

Jgun Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 What I was referring to when I asked if they sold the MA TEN uppers (non monolithic) seperately from the lowers was that some guys like to build a couple of uppers in different configurations, that they can switch out on one lower. As I recall, when I bought my MA TEN set when they were first released, Mega was only selling them as a matched upper/lower set. I wouldn't mind picking up another upper to build a .260, 6.5 X 47, or similar cal. without incurring the expense of building a complete new gun.

ZOG Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Guys, thanks for all the help and options. I was able to purchase a built but unfired Mega Monolithic rifle. it was assembled from a upper/lower mega kit with Rainer select 16 inch barrel and magpul ubr furniture. I am happy that I got one and I can modify it from here to my likingthanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
