Titan Defense TD-415 (HK416 clone) Gas piston upper preview (Pics inside)

[SRT-M4]

Thanks for the Post variablebinary.

I have been in contact with Josh. He is very polite and very professional.
He has my number and will notify me as soon as they become available.

I think that although a clone to the HK 416 , this weapon will prove to be robust and reliable. It appears to be very well made.
I like the bolt and carrier assembly. No rings on this bolt and the spring on the firing pin is a nice touch.

I cant wait to get my hands on the TD 415 to compare it to my 3 LWRC's.

Thanks for the pics and info

The Titan guys are very cool, and easy to talk to. They are very eager to answer questions too.

Interacting with them was a 100% positive experience.

Once people get over the critisizm of it being a HK 416 clone, I think that this weapon will become very popular.

Hell ,from what I can see, they may have improved on the Hk 416 and its American Made.

I think the staff at Titan Defense will win a lot of people over with the way they seem to do business.

Josh even called me out of the blue to give me an update on the progress of the upper.
He also responds to all fo my annoying emails.

I love my LWRCs and will find it hard to find something better but the TD 415 looks good.

That's a tall rail. Would I be correct in assuming it's the same height as the H&K 416 rail?

Comment/Observation aside, that's a very nice looking gun from an outfit I keep hearing good things about. Will the TD-415 will be more reasonably priced than its Germanic cousin?

The rail height is like the HK416, and the upper is like $1250 making it super affordable. compared to the $5000 HK416 upper

Here's an actual HK416 piston/BCG photo so people can see the similarities



And the HK MR556 which is rumored to be $3500 when it goes for sale in 2010. Notice the rail height

Great pics variablebinary. $1250 isnt bad at all.

Why do so many people not like the taller rail height?

I understand getting your optics as close to the centerline of the barrel but .250 or so should actually help with comfort while looking through your glass.

What's up w/the rail height? Can't see any diff.

I wonder if there will be any legal actions from HK on this clone? Or if that is even a possibility?

Who knows. Who hasn't HK sued lately. They have even gone after airsoft guns.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I follow such things, but I think HK is in for a rocky road if this is their solution for handling the competition.

The irony is Colt sued HK for trade dress and failed, and AFAIK, HK hasnt managed to shut anyone down with similar suits

And I doubt (very seriously doubt) that HK will be selling an upper (or complete rifle) in 10.5" or 14.5" bbl. lengths.

My biggest question would be how heavy is the TD upper?

It looks pretty cool and I'm very interested to see more info, tests, etc. on it. If you haven't had any issues with your LWRC, I don't know that I'd be in a hurry to sell it. Thanks for the great post and the pics.
