As always fortac is the shit. These are the best turnkey suppressor ready uppers on the market, and for the money they can’t be beat

I got 2 uppers around 2020 / 2021. One an mk116 pro, and the other a standard mk116 mod1. The mod1 has no abnormal wear and been gtg for about 500 rounds. The pro has (in my eyes) excessive wear (1/8" deep) on the upper reciever where the cam pin rides, and only has 150 rounds through it. Contacting pws got me the response "thats normal". I understand the pro was the budget option with a softer upper material, but its concerning how quickly and easily it wears out, and the company knew that, and still sold them.

I have heard that if you run a PWS to run one of the rolling cam pins. I swapped mine out when I first got mine so idk if it actually did help or not.

Same. I've had the PoF roller cam pin since round 1 and haven't seen any wear issues with a few hundred rounds through it.

I should have also stated my upper was an agency trade in so it had wear to begin with.

I bought a used that had been rode hard and hung up wet. Upper gouged to be damned. It runs smooth as all hell. I did drop a roller cam pin into it, but it runs fine both ways.

I had the same concern with a Pro I had once. After about 300 rounds it stopped wearing. I’m pretty sure the Pro is as chunky as it is because of the softer material; there’s literally more upper there to prevent wear that would otherwise be detrimental to a forged receiver

Yes, their response also mentioned that it will essentially break in, but its not the most soothing experience when you shoot your gun for the first time, go home and open it to clean it, and find a ton of aluminum shavings.

Don’t blame you. I did get a POF roller cam pin to assuage my concerns for what it’s worth. I have a mk111 mod 1 now and no such concerns.

Never had issues with my Alpha LT but picked up a couple to try out and for my mk107 mod 1 I picked up from GAFS

Sadly in 2021 they also stopped doing nitrided 416 stainless barrels and now its just 4150 or 4140 chromoly nitrided barrels. Otherwise id buy a new mk1 and do a roller
