Don't judge a book by its cover...The appearance is apt to mislead.

Albeit, the Mehmetcik-1 may look like an exact replica of the HK-416 it is not. The only similarity between the two rifles is ergonomics/appearance.

The Mehmetcik-1 utilises a Turkish designed and manufactured mechanism,
A Proprietary Steel- the product of extensive metalurgical study by MKEK
Has different dimensions and has add-on features which the HK-616- D10RS and HK-616-D145RS does not have.

Amongst other differences which the MKEK did not release details of.

Do you really believe Heckler & Koch would have allowed the Turks to produce such weapon under licence or even more allow them to copy it... Come on guys!
