    This is not about their rifles, but two of Hodge Def components. I really like the MLOK Wedgelok hand guard design. I wanted it for an 11.5" SBR upper, bu Mega only makes a 9", then 13". HDSI makes the handguard in 10 3/4", so I sought one out. Decided to get the HDSI upper to go with it since it has the anti rotation pin hole. Both items are well executed and met my needs. Cost was in line with other similar products. One Chief's opinion...

    That my take on it. The parts are extremely well finished and executed and not really more expensive than equivalent alternatives.

    That's the problem...I (and most people that aren't "in the know/secret squirrel club" can't). They are vaporware. I can't even find a decent several thousand round review on the Mod 1 or Mod 2. I've seen some short clips of them being shot and I saw SMGLee's video on the upper/lower receiver tolerances, but aside from that zip, nada.

    I will note that 1650 USD for an upper without a BCG, muzzle device, or CH is pretty steep. For the same price, you could get a KAC SR-15 Mod 2, with all those parts; I had my custom upper with extra-Gucci parts built for ~1600 USD (including a Hodge WedgeLock), including labor by a very well-regarded smith (Dave Laubert over at Defensive Creations). Ultimately, you can source everything but the 2099 receiver yourself (the barrel is tricky, but doable, or you can get a Centurion Arms and miss out on the proprietary barrel profile), and you can still get 2055 receivers from V7 (though those are built more for weight savings than strength).

    Hopefully, the FN variants will come out sooner rather than later, and that should satisfy anyone who doesn't care to pay out the nose for 2099 receivers.
    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

    I do not have several thousand rounds on it yet, but here is my MOD 2 review.

    Was there supposed to be a link to something?

    Sorry, I was transposing the review to this board with the intent to quick-edit and do just that.

    Nice review! The ergo touches to the trigger guard look great. Is it a 14.5" or 16" barrel? If you don't mind, would you tell us where you purchased the rifle from?

    14.5"
    Directly from Hodge Defense
    Drury's is their usual outlet. They are not a "mass retailer", as I noted in my review.
