Greg,

Sir, you've been helping me stay alive for almost 6 years.

I know it's been a long time since you've heard from me.    I ordered your Viper when I was in Haiti and brought it to Iraq.

My M16 Viper has saved my life more than 30 times and I know it works.

Can you make me another Viper upper, the same as the one you made me six years ago?
I want another one for stateside work and my house.    I'll be sending it to my Class-3 guy to fit it to my lower receiver.
If you give me current prices, I'll order another Viper upper.

Again, thanks for making such a great lifesaver.

I would really be honored to meet you the next time I'm in the US.   Take care.

Man, the M16 Viper-XRP is one nice shooting upper!    I am still in awe at how it hit at 300 yards.

I made it through CSAT's Tactical Rifle Instructor Course!   Six, 12 hour days, 1,500 rounds, and sunburn.
The Viper-XRP made it through without a problem.
Our quals had us shooting from the 100, 75, 50, 25, and the 7 yard lines.    The Viper-XRP shot and grouped very well.

It really impressed me on the 'Scrambler' part of CSAT's course; where my Viper scored solid hits at 300 yards, 200 yards,
100 yards, and on steel.   I got first round hits at 200 to 300 yards!
I was putting 5 hits on a IPSC target at all ranges.   All out of a 10" barrel.

Paul Howe was impressed that I completed the course with the Viper.   It was the shortest AR platform he ever had complete the course.
He knew the Viper was capable of doing it, but the short sight radius made it a hand full at longer ranges (zero room for mistakes).

Paul had trained guys with the Viper before, but none had tried the Tactical Rifle Instructor course.
He has heard lots of good things about your ability to take problematic ARs and turn them in to 100% reliable guns.
He said that the uppers you build are 'Shooters'.

Everyone noticed the lack of muzzle jump when I fired the 5/1 failure drills.
I shot three other ARs while there.   The Viper had less muzzle jump, and less recoil than any of them.
At no time did I find it heavy.    It is better balanced than most M4s.
I am very happy with it's performance.   My classmates were impressed with it.

I saw almost every brand of AR/M4/CAR made and saw several failures.
I saw a Colt bolt break, a Wilson M4 clone fall apart, a Bushmaster lose a gas key bolt, and a VLTOR chamber start sticking.

I never had so much as a hic-up from the Viper.

Here are pix of the Viper-XRP atop my lower receiver, and of Paul Howe and myself.

thanks,

The bores in the Lothar Walther barrels are the best I've ever seen in terms of concentricity.
There was no perceptible runout on any of them.

The proprietary stainless was extremely tough, but clean cutting.

These are some extraordinarily high quality barrels! (and a tribute to M16 Clinic for having the skill and determination to deliver the best of the best.

Be well Greg, and congratulations on your clearly successful transition up in Utah.   Teaching your Wizardry of the M16 will help Cops win gunfights!

Greg,

Just wanted to let you know that I got the M16 Viper upper and it is everything I expected and more.
When i showed my buddies the Viper put onto my weapon, they all wanted to know where i got it; they wanted one as well.
So you will probably be getting a few more orders from my AO in the very near future.

Your product is excellent, as is the service.  That is the message I will convey to anyone interested in a high quality AR15/M16 upper.

Thank you again and I look forward to ordering my second upper soon.

Best wishes!!   Stay Safe!!

Greg,

Well you truly make an exceptional upper for my weapon; not that you needed to hear that from me.

Opponents to the short barrel rifle have spouted off at the decreased range of my weapon until they actually fire it.

It is perfect for my job as a PSD shooter inside of an armored vehicle.  It is easy to swing and quick to acquire targets.

I have not had any of the typical failures short barreled rifles are rumored to have.
Nor has it ever “short stroked” a round.    Every round fired the weapon has performed flawlessly.

Thanks for the Viper!

Greg,

THE VIPER-XRP PERFORMED SMOOTHLY AND RELIABLY.   IT'S BULL BARREL IS LARGER THAN ANYTHING I'VE SEEN.
OTHERS HAVE SAID THE SAME AS THEY LOOKED AT IT IN AWE.

THE XRP IS WELL BALANCED AND BARELY BUMPS AGAINST YOUR SHOULDER.    I HAVE ONLY GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT IT.
THE COSMETICS/SMITHING IS CLEAN AND IT LOOKS SHARP.    THE XRP NOT ONLY LOOKS THE PART BUT IT HANDLES THE PART.

USING 69 GRAIN PMC SIERRA MATCH KING AMMO; I GOT 0.75" GROUPS (5 SHOT) AT 100 YARDS.

Greg at M16 CLINIC:

We just got our Viper (8") and dropped it on one of our M4 Lowers; man what a difference.

We took it out to a local US Army Installation and proceeded to zero it in.    We zeroed the Viper on M4 zero targets at 25 meters.
Once it was zeroed, for fun we put it on a shooting bench and strapped it down.
Then took it out to 50m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 250m and finally 300m.
At 300 meters the Viper shot multiple 6 inch,  3-round groups !!!

We couldn't get that out of our regular issued M4's, the M16 Viper is a screamer.
No tactical team should be without one.   If your team is converting from a pistol to rifle round, the M16 Viper is the way to go.

Our Viper is 1/2" shorter than our fellow agencies’ MP5's !

Since the bench testing, we've used it on a few call outs and it's perfect for all Law Enforcement work.
Every Agent, Officer and every Agency I meet, I'm recommending the Viper.    M16 Clinic's Viper is one hell of a Force Multiplier.

Greg:  Keep up the great work.      More purchase orders coming your way.

The M16 Viper upper I purchased for use on a stag lower is great!    As my first class 3 firearm it is impressive.

I did my research and could've chosen other options.    I am glad I bought the Viper.

I heard of the tight groupings produced by your M16 Viper; was waiting to see what it could do!

I shot a couple strings and was impressed.

These strings were shot kneeling and standing at approx.   50yds practicing quick reaction drills.      Tight!!!!

Thanks for an awesome product.

Hey BRO.....finally a decent pic!



Been training with the guys at the combat outpost; nothing but RESPECT for your products!!!

The M16 Viper is sweet as butter: NO misfires, NO jams, and it throws the brass forward instead of back like all the regular M4s.

Also nice to pull the pins and pack it in my carry-on pelican case when flying in-country.

Thanks again for a great product and for all of your help.

There is nothing like the ability to throw some lead at the enemy, using a QUALITY weapon that is totally reliable.

Greg,

When I first heard of your weapons, I was intrigued.    I sat down with you and discussed my specifications and needs.

You customized the M16 Viper to the point I trust my weapon exclusively and will not use any other AR or M16.

Without question, the M16 Viper performs flawlessly.

My weapon commands accurate, sustained fire. Your creation exceeds my expectations.
Obviously so. My team mates have purchased the same model.

The M16 Viper is a fantastic weapon, built with perfection, attention, and fulfillment of customers' needs.
Ordinary M16s and AR-15s cannot deliver.

I could not be happier!

Hi Greg,

I finally got to shoot my new M16 VIPER with some of my fellow operators.    It functioned flawlessly and everyone was impressed.



Here is a good K-9 with Viper photo for you, I did not forget.   Thanks again, I am thrilled with the performance of the Viper.







28-APR-07

Greg:

Your 762x39 M16 Viper upper and this lower made the most perfect match of an AR that I have ever seen.

This is the tightest fit.    Absolutely no light between the upper and lower receivers.

Without a doubt the perfect firearm.

With this said, if you would be so kind, please work me up a price for the 16" that we discussed.

See you next week, and thank you for all you have done.



Best Regards,

Dave R.

Our M16 Viper functioned flawlessly all day.

Class members were very impressed!

Hi Greg:

Just got the viper today, and let me say that this thing is slick!

The quality and finish are great and it fits perfectly, with a whole lot less play in it than my M4.

My M16 Viper is tighter than my m4 upper, from the charging handle to the play between recievers,
and even the amount of wiggle room (or the Viper's lack thereof!)of the bolt carrier.

No problems getting my peq-2 and Surefire to mount up either.

My platoon Sgt. really likes it and will be in contact with you. I'll send pictures soon.

My 5.56 Viper was there all ready to be matched up with a colt full auto lower.
I don't think I have to tell you what a great job you did.

I can't wait to get my 7.62X39 Viper.
I've been telling everyone about the 8" M16 Viper chambered in 762mm by 39mm, and they all cannot wait to see it.
I explained to them ahead of time that it will be nothing short of sensational.

Hope all is going well for you and I appreciate the great service.

Here is our M16 Viper getting ready for action on the streets of Ogden, Utah.

                

The Viper is ideal for the tactical operations we conduct and is utilized in all aspects of the job.

Because of its size, it is easily deployed from a vehicle and in the small and confined residences where we
serve warrants and conduct other tactical operations.

The M16 Viper is ideal as a patrol rifle and is highly recommended to law enforcement officers working urban arenas.

Thanks for your commitment to quality and excellence!!

Thanks again for your friendship and all you do for all of us out here who are trying to make a difference.

Just checking in and letting you know my Viper XRP is still rolling along like a Swiss watch.

"VIPER Envy" story, last summer: a foreign Head of State flew in, along with his attendant security people
and our Secret Service crew.    I usually get assigned to the Secret Service just because I have been in the past.

So there I was again, when the Dignitary’s plane touched down, chatting with the Secret Service boys.
We got ready to escort the VIP, so I uncased my M16 Viper.   Well, when we were done escorting the foreign dignitary,
the Secret Service all had to see my M16 Viper, hold it, and shoulder it!

They were impressed!

They all had MP-5's but liked the size and increased fire power of the M16 Viper over their pistol caliber weapons.

Thanks again,

You caught the quality control issue in the cross hairs and your take is straight on the mark.
The quality of manufacturing varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

You and I have discovered and discussed the pitfalls of certain products and companies.
The same holds true for builders and tuners of M16's.

A few years ago, we sought out an M16 expert, and found the best.    That expert, my friend, is you.

Enough said....

Thank you for the box of goodies and the spring, I really appreciate it.

I test fired my M16 Viper this morning and it didn't miss a beat. I had a guy from from Blackwater next to me.
When I put the VIPER onto 3 round burst, he nearly jumped out of his skin. I love the noise it makes.

Again, thank you Greg, the M16 VIPER is amazing.

It's been a long time in coming but I'm finally putting pen to thank you again for my Viper.

I've had a role shift and am now enjoying the capabilities of the Viper.
Both its accuracy and performance cannot be faulted. A firearm I carry without reservation.

The firearm itself has created a cult following among the team and is sought
after every time I go on leave. You'll be getting a new customer by the name
of Dan B who is a new member of my team and wants one of his own.


Once again Greg thank you for the efforts and expertise you put into your
products. I hope 2006 is a prosperous one for you.

Greg,

I would like to take a moment from this crazy place I seemed to have made my permanent home for the past two years and thank you very much
for the coins and muzzle covers.
It means a lot to receive even the smallest of gifts from those back home. I gave two of the coins and kept one for myself.

The Desert Tan muzzle caps were not only very operationally welcome; but, as usual, the guys found a way to play with them and stuck them all over their faces.

The other two individuals S and T are thankful for your remembering them while they are serving their duties here.
I've had problems with Bushmasters. I suppose the result of mass production and less than perfect craftsmanship.
We all can't thank you enough for the outstanding weapons that you have put together for us.
My M16 VIPER is the envy of several individuals because it looks and feels so great.
It is a comforting feeling being able to hit the road knowing that the weapon (your M16 VIPER) I hold is going to save me as far as my skill level will provide.


Thanks again, Greg

Hope to do more business with you. Take care and god bless.

Dear Greg,

I just wanted to express my utmost thanks to you.  I deal with many tactical companies and the customer service I received from M16 Clinic is outstanding.

My M-4 has had over 20 magazines through it on both auto and single and has not missed a beat since receiving your equipment.  My weapon receives a lot attention from other PSD teams and US Forces here in Iraq, with the inevitable questions about reliability.  I always tell people: “If you've got a question about M16s, then speak to Greg at the M16 Clinic; as "He’s the Man!"

All the very best for the future.

Hey, great to hear from you again. I am in love with the M16 Viper and am kicking around buying another Viper for my other lower.

You build the best M16 I have ever fired.

For such a short barreled weapon its rate of fire is very user friendly.

I work in Dyncorp's Afghanistan IPP mission and am a repeat customer of M16 Clinic. A co-worker and I ordered 16 inch uppers a few months ago and they are top quality,
Greg doesn't promise anything that he cannot deliver. Greg is a true craftsman and his attention to detail is second to none.

His customer service is unbelievable, his response to questions and concerns is timely and he answers every question asked.
If he doesn't know, he finds out and forwards it on to you as quickly as he can.

I have recently ordered the Viper-XRP package and he is in the final stages of finishing the order.

If you are considering custom M16 work; there is only one place to go and one person to do it, M16Clinic and Greg.

For anybody incurring M16, M4, AR15 problems, this is for you.

Over the past couple of months, I experienced a myriad of problems with my rifle (16" LE). 
I took it to an armorer, allegedly a master armorer, supposedly capable of fixing problems.
He replaced some gas rings, and a little spring or two more as a maintenance action, and said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
The rifle continued to fail.

I contacted theM16 Clinic, and sent my upper, bolt, charging handle, buffer, four casing from malfunctions and the action spring. 
When told of training I would soon be conducting, he cleared his bench to get my weapon done.
In no time at all, Greg had identified FOUR major problems, done extensive test firing of the weapon, replaced needed parts, reset the headspace, and shipped the upper back to me with startlingly detailed reports on all of the work performed.

All of the broken/replaced parts came back in sealed plastic bags marked with what the problem had been, while the upper itself was painstakingly repacked
to protect it during shipping.   Greg also included a couple bits of swag for each student in my course.  I took the upper out this weekend and tried my best to make it jam from either heat, or sustained firing. It functioned perfectly.

So, if you have business in this realm, give it to the M16 Clinic (info@m16clinic.com ). You won't be sorry.

Stay safe.

Hey, Greg,

I received the Viper-XRP and managed to get out to our range this week.

The weapon fires great and prints paper even greater!  I remounted my Holosite and zeroed it at 100 yards from the bench, then moved to off-hand shooting, shooting while moving, prone and kneeling. The weapon consistently shot sub-moa from the bench; less than 2 MOA standing and moving.

The bolt and bolt carrier are great. The weapon is very solid and lacks that rattle most stock AR or M series weapons have. Locking back on an empty magazine has a really solid feeling. Very little muzzle jump, and the sights come right back to center.

I am very satisfied with the Viper-XRP and recommend it to every one!  Thanks!

Yours,

Greg,

I just fired the Viper and it is fantastic in every way. The reduced recoil was noticeable from the first round.

I slapped my Acog on top, zeroed with no problems and hit a bottle cap at 40 meters.

It feeds smoother than anything I have fired. No double feed issues or failure to eject issues. Just a pleasure to fire.

I feel much more comfortable taking the VIPER out on the road than anything I have carried here in Iraq.

The chromed bolt carrier group cleans up easier; which is always nice. I fired 90 rounds on semi and four bursts on auto from a 30 round mag with no issues. I did notice the rate of fire is slower and smoother than my other 7.5 inch upper which fired so fast on auto it jammed constantly, not to mention being totally out of control.

The Viper is so well tuned and controllable, it is simply perfect!

It was a pleasure doing business with you.

I will send photos and video later.

Take care,

R. S.

Greg:

I just fired 150 rds through the Viper you built for me and it functioned flawlessly.  The accuracy is outstanding and the workmanship top notch. Your customer service is the best in the Industry.  The jpeg photos you emailed sent during construction convinced me that you and your equipment are indeed as advertised.

Well done Sir.

This is some Damn Hot Equipment!!!  You are the Samurai of M16s!

I cant take my hands off of the M16 VIPER and everyone that sees it is going crazy with a case of VIPER envy!  The build quality is the best I have ever seen and the whole weapon all together doesn’t have a single rattle which I have always sought after with a passion.

I got the goodies you sent and gave Mike his package and he said that it makes him feel good to think that there are people out there that pay attention to us and not just the conventional forces. He appreciates the gifts.  I told him that it was from a guy who is very in touch with SOF and how they operate and understands their hardships from a touch of training himself. He liked that too.  Anyways I can’t wait to send you VIPER pics showing history in the making with my M16 VIPER.

Peace Joe

Ps. The M16 VIPER is better then I could have ever imagined. It’s the stuff sci-fi and video games are made of.

Dear Greg,

I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your correcting the problems we had with our M16s.  Soon after the barrels were shortened, we experienced a multitude of reliability issues.  Even prior to that, accuracy was only adequate. After only a few days at the M16 Clinic, our uppers came back home with a “new attitude”.

Your skills and dedication became apparent as soon as we got some range time.  We now shoot tighter groups, more so than ever before, and the cycling problems are gone!  Prior to sending them to you, these M16s were restricted to entry use only.  With the levels of accuracy you achieved, we now use them in additional roles of perimeter and sniper/observer positions.

Being a small department with an ever-shrinking budget, you saved our agency several thousand dollars we couldn’t afford to spend. We considered buying new equipment as replacements.  M16 Clinic’s work made the replacement issue unnecessary.  Our thanks to you for your outstanding work and quick turn-around time.

We recommend the M16 Clinic and its services to agencies and Special Operations Teams in need of improved accuracy and total reliability.

Stay safe.

Sincerely,

I just zeroed the custom, M16 VIPER you built for me.  I zeroed at 50 yards and shot it out to 150 yards.

At 50 yards the group was the size of a dime.
At 100 yards the group was the size of a nickel.
At 150 yards all three rounds were touching within a dime size group.

I've had the pleasure of doing business with Greg for several years.  His ideas for perfecting the M16 and taking it to places it has never been are inspirational, as is his workmanship.  His uppers are habit forming.  Peering under the hood of one of these transformed uppers is similarly stimulating. The work is flawless.  He and his M16 Clinic represent the apex of research and development of M16/AR15 systems.

Our Department purchased four Bushmaster M-4s for our Special Response Team. We sent these rifles back to Bushmaster to have 11.5 inch barrels installed. We had continuous double-feed problems with each one. I began to search for an answer and was told to contact you at the M16 Clinic. After a couple of conversations, I shipped all four uppers to the M16 Clinic. You said it would be a one-week turn-around for the work on all four of the uppers.

To my surprise, we had all four uppers (the “Four Horsemen”) back in about four days. We were amazed at the difference in our weapons on the very first day at the range. They all performed EXACTLY as you said they would; we had no malfunctions. We have since been all over our County and State pushing rounds through our M16 Clinic modified Bushmasters.

At last count amongst the Four Horsemen we have fired approximately sixteen thousand (16,000) rounds total, or about four thousand (4,000) per weapon. We have used every kind of .223 ammo that we could get our hands on, and WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY MALFUNCTIONS OF ANY KIND.

Our training occurs no matter what the weather or the environment. Greg, you are a man of your word. Your expertise with the repairs of ou
