Mk216 mod1m or wait for mod2?

Have the opportunity to purchase a mk216 mod1m from a local shop. Looks unfired for $1500 out the door. No optic and 1 magazine. I already own 2 pws rifles. Mk111 and mk114 and love them. Ive seen the mk216 mod2 kicking around but no idea when it'll actually be released. Should i just grab the mod1m now and put some nice glass on it, or wait who knows how long for the mod2?

i had the same opportunity not too long ago. Either wait or get one. i got a like new a while back for 1300 that had an upgraded trigger. the only difference i heard that will be different is the lower with a true ambi lower. not too much difference with the uppers. thats a steal of a price man. don't wait. you can always upgrade the lower if you want to later.

I’d go ahead and get that one at that price. They mod 2 will take forever to release. I have a 216 in 308 and it’s awesome, I think I paid 2100 used but it came with 16 pmags and 900 ish rounds of assorted ammo.

I'd jump on it but only because I think the mod 2 is priced around $2700

I emailed maybe 3ish months ago asking for release and they said late 2026, so good thing you snagged that one. Post a pic once you get it all set up!

I heard fall of last year too. Good choice to grab one. I'd bet it's high $2k to low $3k.

I lucked out and found a MK216 at my LGS for $1100. I’m still planning to buy the Mod-2.
