HK 417 or Mk.17

[klrb929]

Gents,

I am issued a mk.17, I have few 17S', and do like them with some caveats. I don't want to cloud the discussion, as I am known for my strong opinions. Whether your tab is long, or short, you have a scroll, or trident, would you be willing to entertain this question?

When it comes to the HK 417 vs the Mk.17

#1 which do you prefer?

#2 do you hate either of these rifles?..if so why

#3 have you seen either of these rifles demonstrate a specific issue?

#4 thank you for your time and efforts.

I've seen a certain member of the forum say numerous times that he hates the 17 and would rather have a 417. As to the reasons why, you would have to ask him. I'm not going to out him, but if you asked this question in the Mil/LEO section, he might chime up.

"I'm (contraction) issued a MK17"... stop, stop, stop. This thread was delivered stillborn. Your use of "issued" carries a lot of weight. You'd be better off having your credentials vetted and as Victory said posting this in the LEO/Military Only forum. Unless of course there aren't any credentials to vet. Just sayin'.

my bad ... who needs to see what? ...DD214 or a JFKSWCS stamped cert?

You'll want to send whatever it is you have to [MENTION=7]Lowlight[/MENTION]. That being said, how is it that you have a DD214 while still on active duty? I'd always thought it was representative of your release or discharge from active duty.

I have multiple stints of Active Service 92-96, 98-2000, 2001-2004, and couple of 2-6 month events since then. It wont be hard for the BTDT's to figure out who I am and what unit.

I sent a PM to lowlight, thanks for the directions.
