carversc Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Don’t know if anyone else is interested but I was looking at the Fight Light MCR Belt Fed uppers and Brownells is including them in their Black Friday 15% off sale. That brought price down to $4785, enough for me to finally cave in. With tax and shipping it came to $5110, but still not bad. Hell might not have frozen over, but I bet it’s a bit cooler than usual!

Nugg Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I was looking at the same sale. Contemplating on this or the dry film version, nicer front rail for about 5-$600 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner11 Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Looking as well. What is the difference in the "dry film version"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clc3251 Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Why did you have to post this? You just cost me 5K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fightlite applies a dry film on the critical moving parts to prevent as much wear as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clc3251 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Well, they took my order and charged my card and then today put my order on backorder. Wonder if I will ever see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnh Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 LOL, I wonder how many of these they sold over the weekend based on the original posting... Cryostructure seems to have moved some inventory as well... I popped for the dry-film version, what says the hive-mind: regular vs dry-film?

Mark2 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I have had a Shrike Upper on Brownells Backorder since September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirCav73 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) They are a lot of fun! Mine runs like a "fine tuned clock" with a RDIAS or M16 lower. It is a 2018 version of MCR. Edited November 28, 2023 by AirCav73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 late last week when they went on 10% off, I checked and they had 3 in stock. I kept bumping the quantity and it stopped at 3. I did not check the dry film since I had no idea what that was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattnh Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) No personal experience, but others have suggested this setup: A5 tube / 308 Tubb spring and 9mm Kynshot hydraulic See link below for details https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/-/23-500374/#i5133044 Edited November 29, 2023 by mattnh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I have seen Amphibian's posts. Just curious if you guys did the same. I guess it's time to try out that configuration.. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 My personal experience on 2 of the very early ones as an original depositor is, just follow the instructions on the buffer and they work fine. It's not rocket science. I did make my own feed trays though out of necessity since I got the alum. ones. The stories abound over the years of all the secret sauce, springs, buffers, inserts, ammo, lube, link stretchers, rabbits feet, and papal blessings. Most of that may work, until it doesn't, then the quest begins for the 42 dated MG34 spring with 6.6 coils removed and stretched twice, followed by special beaver oil lube, etc. It's all very amusing, and completely unnecessary.
