Any one have any feed back on hk

Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

I talked to the HK rep near me the other day and we chatted for almost 3 hours. I will be buying one later this year most likely for demo's.
 
Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

Hmm....no 1st hand knowledge here, but the fact they got the U.S. Marines contract speaks volumes!

I've shot some of their LE mp5s and was impressed. They have always made great stuff, though I've bought anything because of their prices.
 
Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

P.S.
that said, I just got a new Sig Sauer M400 hunter BECAUSE of the price point! I paid 8 hundred which is far lower than say Remington's V15.

The fact is that whenever a company gets a big military contract, their prices go up quite a bit beyond what the quality justifies. But make no mistake the quality is great. But I think the quality of my Sig is great enough for this poor boy, and that way I can put money into high quality glass.
 
Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

Do an internet search.

And a better question is.

When is the last time H&K put out a firearm that sucked???

Exactly.

Having said that I own a 416 upper. The quality is unmatched by any other I've seen or fired.

1967.

Even the neighbor's one in .32 ACP cracked its frame. The trapping of the slide at the end of its rearward travel over-stresses the front of the trigger guard.

They are accurate enough and reliable in all four calibers, though. Minimal suck.

And MAYBE 1970.

Nastiest trigger I have ever encountered in any genuine firearm. One of the nastiest magazines I've ever had the misery of loading. One of the heaviest slide return springs I've ever had to haul back.

The front sight was clever.

And like the Model 4, it was still accurate enough though physically hard to actually shoot, and totally accurate. Oddly enough, my friend and I got tighter rapid-fire groups by YANKING the trigger.

Its suck-o factor is in my opinion much larger. For novelty value I'd give ya $200 for yours (anyone out there have one???).

Now out of all the stuff they've ever made, two mildly-sucky ones is a pretty good record.

I'll go ahead and amend what I said then.

When's the last time in the last 42 years H&K put out a firearm that sucked.
 
Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

I have a complete MR556, rather than just an upper. The fit and finish is top quality. The only gripe I have in that arena is that the paint is chopping off the charging handle. It's heavy, but not too bad I think. I've only shot mine with a 4MOA Aimpoint so I can't say I've given it a fair accuracy test. I'll probably replace the Aimpoint with an ACOG or something else with a little magnification.
 
Re: Any one have any feed back on hk

I have heard great things, but haven't used one personally. HK doesn't usually do things poorly.
