The German government had allotted funds for the Bundeswehr’s procurement of its new rifle – the G95A1. Heckler & Koch have now released a statement and some photographs of the Bundeswehr’s new rifles. The new The ‘System Sturmgewehr Bundeswehr’ or Bundeswehr Assault Rifle System will be made up of two variants of the HK416.

I was just looking for 416 uppers today.

Brownells sells a clone of the 416.

You could also buy a piston kit for your AR to convert it.

I saw that this morning. And I have looked into the AA piston guns too.

I've never gone the piston route myself so I don't have any experience with that type of system.

The Brownells kit is never in stock. It would be a consideration to purchase it and take it up to the guys at 6 Tactical and have them show me how to assemble it.

I have a AA piston upper on a standard lower.

I built that one to run a suppressor.

Runs real clean with & without a suppressor.

A tad bit not as accurate as my DI guns but that's been noted before.

Running clean with a suppressor is a nice feature.

They look pretty cool. And I like the AA barrels. I have one of their DI's. It's very accurate and the upper is well made.

Some say a piston upper isn't quite as accurate as a DI gun.

Problem is if you buy an HK clone you have to put up with all the insufferable HK purists. Ask me how I know.

Well the only other option is gonna run you about 6 grand for the upper.

Too expensive

I want one...

I built what I called my “wannabe 416” before the MR556 came out; used a Colt 16” HBAR upper, put an Adams piston on it…used the HBAR because it was quite accurate before, and it is still very accurate.

I may look into putting an Adams piston on my Adams DI. It's really accurate and seems fitting for the conversion. Is it difficult to install ?

Not at all. Hardest part I had was breaking the staking on the carrier to replace the gas key…the upper was originally a ban era Colt, and was properly staked.

That's good to know. How did you break the staking ?

Got a socket with the correct Allen wrench and a small breaker bar.
