I bet they are no longer getting any more. If you want parts now you will need to find them individually. HK416 parts are getting harder and harder to come by.
Hahaha I like how u think just having a hard time spending 4200 for an upper :/ I know real unicorns come from Germany but man it hurts to see those prices.
I can help with finding real ones should anyone have that itch;-)
If I recall correctly, Brownells got something like 2200 forgings. It seems a bit excessive to believe they sold all of them. It is possible they didn’t machine them all. Based on the prices I saw, they paid in and around $60 per forging (probably got a bulk discount to some degree considering all the other parts they bought). Machining them was probably $20-$50 a pop. There would have been shipping, paperwork man hours, overhead, etc. But, that should give a reasonable picture of what their margins were.
There is unlikely to be more as they were the squared magwell design and HK has since moved on to the A5 profile which has an angled magwell.
I have an itch now do I want to pay 4K for one ... or just go different way and build 417 and hope someone makes barrel .... or just collect parts again and build one eventually. I just sold bunch of hk416 parts and now I am kicking my self. I can always get blank upper and get them engraved way I want along with lowers , or build 9mm Frankenstein lol
My gripe was more centered on the fact they ruined the remaining factory forgings creating something that wasn't correct. The effort involved in getting it correct was minimal, yet they proceeded anyway. Now, if they did in fact sell all they made, then all I have is a complaint vs their business sense.
Yeah, it is in whatever that long thread was. I think you hit all of the points. There was a chamfer to the left of the bolt release tab that shouldn’t have been there but is standard on PWS’ millings (what you called the beveled edge). The “ears” on the trigger guard were wrong. Some had that U shape on the front, others didn’t. On most all US imported 416’s the front forging seam was still present. The PWS maker information could have been more discreet than covering the front. They shouldn’t have put full auto markings on them; many people wouldn’t want that kind of false advertising and those who would could easily add those markings.
Just going from memory, was there something about the buffer retainer roll pin placement?
Nooo don’t ruin my dreams ..... probably in next few years they will ban ar rifles and we will all go with muzzle loaders. I am in California we are half way there all ready :/ fml
my serial is just shy of 2100, purchased early last month...
I caved because I knew id rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. My gripe with the milling is that it is without a doubt the sloppiest fitting lower of any I've had, that includes an anderson...
If the A5 upper didn't have the spring on the rear lug I would've sold it and given up on playing the 416 game
Just checked they are back that’s weird I spoke with them they said they were out :/ screw it just got one . I didn’t want to risk waiting for 10% coupon and now this .... out of stock again lol

To my knowledge yes (thats the short answer). Nzfly and another member pointed out in another thread all of the small differences that are listed out above. That same thread has pictures and measurements that show the slight differences. (long answer)
You can't wait. This is why I purchased a 417 parts kit. They went from 60 to 13 a few days ago. I always wanted a HK MR762. I figured this was a great way to get a gun that I always wanted and is very limited. Brownells is stating that once they are gone there's no more. We all know how hard it is to get any military/LE components from HK.
They have stupid hold on my order I need to call tomorrow and see what sup, they probably want money order or a wire transfer or they gonna tell me they are out of stock.
Spoke with him allready he had a barrel lower ect I didn’t need any of those he sold it really fast.
