Hey guys. Surely you all understand the need to promote a business. We’re proud of our quality and happy to put our name on it.

We think our markings are much cleaner than previous versions. We are also the ones that manufactured the receivers for Defgunz and now have the opportunity to sell these directly. If you want to know something just ask. Although I’ll never bash anyone, not my style. The logos are large but not particularly deep. Much better in person 🤷🏼‍♂️. My 2 cents.

Welcome aboard 🫡. Forums/online can be a harsh crowd, don't take it too personal, but do take feedback in mind from a business perspective. I for one am waiting on the sidelines a bit longer, but always exciting to see new offerings to the market not currently offered by HK. Kudos there!

P.s. Nothing wrong with releasing Version 2.0

There is nothing wrong with putting your logo on your products. However, I do wish you had taken less liberties with the right-side markings (bold font, etc.) and made it closer in appearance to the original markings. Or even better leave a blank right side like German models, and place the required markings elsewhere.

That being said, none of that is really going to stop me from purchasing one.

True. But probably more important is the fact it’s a clone receiver. If it’s exactly like HK they can shut it down for flying too close to the sun. Aesthetics are important but a lack thereof has us all walking around with useless parts kits.

Just do what tommybuilt did with smaller font or let customer make their own markings

Why not mark them with the required info on the top and let the customer remark them how theyd like? This is how the 416 clone lowers have become so popular.

Forum wide I believe we just love to hate things. Especially new products, or in this case revised products. What were they thinking? Why the hell would they do that? Its pretty lame really. I remember how cool it was when Tommybuilt started making these, and I don't remember so much hate, I think back then people were just happy to have an off the shelf G36 clone. Not anymore by the look of it. Can't get custom engraving? Inconceivable...

It makes sense to me to bitch about it. You want clone parts to make a clone, not a self defense or duty gun thats just functional. Noone wants an ump for practical reasons, we want it to look as close to an HK and use as many genuine parts as we can.
