Why would you want to fit the KMR on an HK416? Even if you "forced" it on there, the top rail would not be even since the 416 has a taller receiver. It would be a ghetto solution at best and not worth the benefits of weight or profile.

Since the 416 has been mentioned.....any chance Bravo would ever consider designing the KMR for the 416/MR556/MR223. I just installed the KMR on my Colt...unbelievable system, and it sure would be nice to have one for an HK platform as well...even using the current barrel nut like the Geissele rail does. I realize the design would need tweaking as some have already said but man, the KMR is awesome.

-masking tape removed original finish: now it's "custom"! (people pay extra for 'custom').
Funny thing, if you actually read this thread you'll not only discover that it wasn't the finish, but a color coating applied over the finish. Last I checked people don't want a white handguard so BCM used a coating that sticks pretty well to the closed pore finish to give it a basic black look.
The original poster was satisfied by BCM's explanation as to what exactly happened and was more than happy to rattle-can the exposed white.
I'll always fix something myself. I absolutely HATE having to return something to get looked at. Granted, someone in finishing probably touched that specific spot with bare hands or somehow the part wasn't clean.... but shit.... that's cosmetics. I only wish I had the time to make that a life problem.

To echo that sentiment, we've been trying to duplicate this result and have not been able to. Based on the thousands of parts we've had made and the number that have been subject to solvent soaks, paint jobs, adhesion and abrasion tests, we're confident it was an isolated incident. The unexpected (and sometimes unexplainable) happens at some point to any product.
What's important to us is that at the end of the day, the customer is happy. That seems to be the case in this event. If that was not the case, BCM has a pretty good reputation when it comes to turning a frown upside down so I'll let that speak for itself.
