Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main cosmetic issues with the H&R 606 clone?

The H&R 606 clone has a Colt gray finish with a greenish hue. Additionally, the furniture at the receiver extension and buttstock junction has a noticeable lip. Most significantly, the handguards often arrive with damage, including cracks and gouges.

What is the primary functional concern with the H&R 606 clone?

The main functional concern is the mismatch between M4 barrel extensions and rifle-style upper receivers lacking M4 ramps. This can lead to feeding issues where the case mouth catches on the upper receiver opening, potentially causing jams or cartridge damage.

Can damaged handguards on the H&R 606 clone be easily replaced?

Reports suggest that H&R does not replace damaged handguards under customer service claims. Replacement handguards can be purchased as reproductions for around $100, but original parts in good condition are scarce.

Is it difficult to fix the barrel extension and upper receiver mismatch on the H&R 606 clone?

Yes, replacing an M4 barrel extension with a rifle-style one is a complex gunsmithing task. It requires precise timing of the lugs relative to the gas port and front sight base, while also maintaining correct headspace, making it a time-consuming process.
