I check in on there forum site from time to time. The company for all intent and purposes seems to be running well and busy. They are getting good marks from there customers on service. There was some discussion on renaming the company.
GUN ####!!! 6.8 SPC gas piston Op OD green
- Thread starter 48th Highlander Texas
- Start date
There product is suppose to be top notch, Larry Vickers has been running one of there SRT models and recommends them. You cant beat that endorsement. Here is his statement from another forum:

I heard my name was mentioned here alot and I want to weigh in on this
topic;
1) I am still a consultant for HK
2)I have 2 HK416 uppers (10 & 14.5 inch) - not complete weapons - yet
3)I have an LWRC SRT gun that I have been using some lately that runs like a
champ; it would be my first choice in a piston AR of what is currently
available since the HK416 is not
4) A Colt 6920 is a very good gun ( I used one for a long time while
instructing) and is just fine for most civilian and LE users - just keep it
lubed
5) I recommend a piston AR for the following;
a) barrel length less than 14.5 inches
b) extensive full auto fire
c) wide variety of ammo being used
d) suppressed use
6) I hope the HK416 & 417 will be available to civilians and individual LE
officers someday - I have campaigned tirelessly for this since the 416 was
introduced
7) The 416 would be my first choice in a 5.56mm assault rifle if given the
option
I have seen alot of ammo shot out of a 416 (probably more than anyone in
the USA) - and in my experience it is MORE accurate than a DI AR - I have
seen a 10 inch 416 shoot minute of angle from a machine rest at the factory
after being fired 12,000 rds during a lot acceptance test - I, like others
who witnessed it, would never have believed it is I had not seen it myself
9) The spec ops users of the 416 I train and know love the gun except for
the weight (it has a fairly heavy barrel under that rail system) - HK is
offering a lighter profile barrel as an option now
Hope this clears some things up
Cheers
