PLEASE READ

We are currently shipping Batch 3 Cag Tan 416 and have begun preparations for Batch 3.5. Upper receiver conversion work to begin mid July. All parts are anodized together for the best color consistency. We use two high end anodizing outfits for Tan and Black, each specialize in the matching the German Finishes. We use original contract HK Ral8000 7075 416D parts as our reference.
This has been one of the most challenging projects we’ve undertaken. Converting and refinishing the HK uppers to the correct A3 specs required substantially more time, labor, and expense than originally anticipated. Batch 3 allowed us to refine every step of the process, and Batch 3.5 benefits directly from everything we learned this time with some new options. Estimated delivery is December. As with any low-volume custom project delays are possible, however we are starting immediately.
Optional Marking Upgrade: Please read carefully
We do not reproduce HK trademarks, including the HK logo or the original right side receiver mfr. markings. However, the markings we do offer are reproduced 1:1, eliminating one more detail for a third party to get wrong. All you need to finish the lower is have the left and right magwell engraving added.
-
Add period-correct, 1:1 recreated original German font, faux serial number within the correct contract era range on both the upper and lower (formatted/located to match the original weapons). You can have matching upper and lower serials as they were originally delivered OR the upper will be engraved with another serial from the original range and crossed out like many of the originals photographed. Then re-engraved with the correct serial from the lower receiver just like the originals.
-
Faux rack number within the appropriate issue range and in correct location
-
Front magwell warning label 1:1 reproduction of original from this time period
-
Correctly formatted data tag reproduced from original CAG reference examples. Our data tags are produced on the proper MIL-STD-130 material using the correct layout and format for an authentic appearance. We sourced the material from the same place the gov. and its contractors do. There are cheaper options on the wrong material, but do not wear or look correct.
****Over 100 hours of research and development went into these markings, including 70 hours refining the artwork and 100+ test engravings on tan hardcoat anodizing for each specific marking to achieve the correct appearance. An additional 40+ hours were spent researching original reference material to ensure the fonts, layout, serial ranges, and data are period correct.****
***The price reflects the research and development behind the work, not simply the time it takes to engrave.***
