    Nightmare or not. I agree with what Rob said. Don't put it out there if the product is not ready.
    As far as complexity of design and good luck on copying it, well it has been reverse engineered.
    The materials being used in these illegal copies are not up to the specs for firearms but are ok for the toy industry. I say toy for a reason!
    There have been many warnings by Magpul about unscrupulous vendor or gun show types selling them as the genuine article.
    What some have failed to notice though is that they have been very well reverse engineered but with the toy industry in mind.
    Oh well, I'll keep waiting for my chance. You guys who keep buying multiples of the UBR need to cut that out though.

    The fake UBR is impressive from an aesthetic standpoint, but leaves much to be desired when it comes to performance. Like you said - it's a neat toy.

    I got the same thing. When I emailed Brownells asking "Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot, Over?" this was the reply I got back:

    either be emailed or called to verify that you still need the items. At that
    point a new order will be placed and the shipping cleared off. Thank you.
    I'm content with that explanation.

    On the topic of the UBR, I got a black one in the latest Bravo Company batch figuring if I didn't like it I wouldn't lose any money on it. Wouldn't you know, I'm on the hunt for another one in FDE I like it so much . . . the Kool-Aid from that part of Colorado is pretty tasty.

    I thought this was interesting. Found it on an airsoft forum via google...

    Magpul UBR replica
    ACM: Copy of Magpul UBR



    We are not publishing this news to step on anyone's toes, but rather to show that there is lot more products available in China than it seems at the first glance: Mr Chouhei Liang just released a copy of Magpul UBR stock. This one won't be available in US or EU, but mr. Liang will sell this product to trading companies, located in China. Quality is said to be very good. You can reach mr. Liang at Chouheigz@gmail.com

    Hey txbonds. You should have IM'd me they weren't in the box. I thought I included them. I just found them with my other UBR parts. They'll go out via Priority Mail probably tomorrow. My fault.

    Same thing I was wondering. They don't waste any time and I wonder how long it will be before they start making fake swine flu.
