Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - Drifter - 07-18-2012 Mega reportedly sent the following e-mail to retailers: Quote:July 17, 2012 Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - Bennybone - 07-18-2012 Wow..... I love my MTS, now based on this news it seems as if it will have to be pryed away from me. Buy em up Guys! Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - LRRPF52 - 07-18-2012 I had drawings of monolithic upper receivers that I had come up with in 1999 while attending a certain course at Ft. Bragg. I know several guys saw it. When LMT came out with their MRP, I kinda felt scooped. My design also included a 7.62 version with an enlarged ejection port that could also take a 12 GA conversion. I wonder if LMT is the one who has sent Mega Arms a cease and desist, even though I can't see how anyone with half a brain would be confused about which product is which. Whoever it is, will they also litigate the issue with Colt, FN (SCAR) and another smaller company that has a monolithic upper receiver on their staple product? I know of no AR15 manufacturer that has anything remotely like the Mega Monolithic uppers, since Mega uses a barrel nut and special tool that basically functions in a similar manner to a standard AR15 barrel nut.

I know of one Mega retailer who heard that LMT might indeed be a factor. But just hearsay at this point I suppose. Maybe we'll learn more details in time... Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - LRRPF52 - 07-18-2012 I bet it has a lot to do with using the word "Monolithic" more than anything. The LMT design is significantly unique in that it uses a pinch approach to retaining the barrels, with LMT-unique barrel extensions. That pinch method isn't unique to their design when looking at other firearms, such as the German DSR-1, so I really think Mega could beat this in court quite easily with a competent firearms attorney who also is a gun enthusiast, but they want to be a machine shop, and not waste possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars on some scheisters playing tennis with their clients behind their backs like a turdhouse, cheap-suit, dirtball family law, feces sucking, used-car salesman-trained magic trick buttclown. Mega is taking the smart approach by introducing something new, and looking at this as an opportunity, rather than letting the scheisters turn Mega's profits into their financial opportunity in an out-of-court settlement or judgement issued by some mafia-appointed judge, raping little boys as his side job...you think I'm making this up, right.... I bet the threatened petitioners already have a venue in the South somewhere lined up, with the pederast judge hoping to schedule the case so he can pay off his time-share in the Bahamas. Did I mention I love attorneys? No offense to all the pristine, clean as snow lawyers out there, of course.

You don't have to sugar coat it, tell us how you REALLY feel? Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - ricsmall - 07-18-2012 Well, that narrows it down; LRRPF52 is NOT a lawyer!

Mega Arms Monolithic MTS upper receivers apparently discontinued - Bennybone - 07-19-2012 I went to a local gun builder yesterday, I had only been there once before. I was surprised to discover that the gun builds hanging on the wall were wearing an MTS type upper, nearly identical to the Mega product except in place of the MEGA logo it was blank. It wasn't smooth blank almost as though it was rubbed away. Anyway knowing that this gun builder essentially buys parts from manufactuers with their logo on the lowers and assembles them in shop I asked the innocent question: Hey you build using a monolithic upper but it isn't a MEGA but looks like a MEGA so what gives? Where are you getting these? He didn't give me an answer instead he chose to play dumb so I mentioned that MEGA was discontinuing the production of the MTS citing legal battles and cost and again pressed for an answer. He simply looked at me in disgust and stated "I don't believe I am at liberty to tell you where we get the uppers". I promptly left, the guy couldn't even sale me an extractor spring after that, some "Arsenal"... Hmpfff.
