How many have one of ghilliebears builds? How many rounds through it? Any issues? I see his name thrown out from time to time but did not know how many here have one of his full builds.

Thanks

Check out the Hkpro site. Tons of feedback on him there. Based on everything I've read, I'm drooling over having the scratch
to buy one of his builds.Sounds like a hell of a guy also.

Did you not get my IM about it? I wrote you a short novel about PCS, lol !

No. Only issue was a barrel pin, US-made. Nothing Jeff could have foreseen.

He fixed a bad assembly/build from another reputable builder; PCS texted pics of issues with an explanation.  Cannot beat the service imo!  Live & learn

Had my MP5 SBR built by him, MP5 parts kit with US receiver and compliance parts. Also had him correct a Century HK 33 for a friend. He does great work and will deal with you on a personal basis.

Ghilliebear (Jeff Walters) is an awesome guy.


Super friendly, super helpful.

Good prices, great work.

He spent some time with me on the phone helping me with two of my clones. I sent another to him for some other work.


Parabellum is GTG.

Universally regarded as an excellent builder.

What? Nobody is going to mention that his turnaround is the best in the business?

+1 great guy
+1 great build quality
+1 great value

His price, quality & speed put him smack in the middle of being the perfect choice.

Same feedback as above

He built a MP5 Pistol clone for me.. I posted a non related question on my sear pack in the gun, he saw it and called me directly on a Saturday, to make sure I was not having issues with his build.


His builds are A+
His customer service is  A+

Awesome. Thanks everyone. Hopefully this thread will be helpful for others as well.

Jeff is definitely good to go.  He's my first choice to build me anything H&K related.

He built me a G3K clone a couple of years ago.  No problems with fit, finish or function




And he built me an MP5K pistol clone a couple of weeks ago.  Fit and finish are perfect.  Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

PERFECT SERVICE.

Came back in 5 days for a flapper install.

That G3K looks awesome! I love G3s that actually look like the real thing with the paddle mag release and correct triple frame (grenade ring) mounted on the barrel.

Jeff replaced a barrel on an earlier MKE 9mm MP-5k import. He came in under his time estimate and under his cost estimate. Very fast, great communication, I am using him for a few more HK tasks soon.

Jeff built 3 guns for me.  Great guy.  Great guns.  When he talks, you better listen because he knows what he is talking about.

First time I reached out to Jeff he talked to me for a half hour just explaining everything and being really patient with a person who at the time didn't know much about HK rifles. Most builders wouldn't spend 5 minutes talking on the phone to a newbie. All my money for builds, repairs, and whatever HK related go to him.

Y'all talk about a quick turn around time - what does that mean ? 12 months? 12 days ? just trying to understand how busy the good builders are.



Thanks

He built a reverse stretch for me in two weeks. He's working on my CETME and its at the 1 month mark, but I told him to take his time.  The CETME build is done. He's taking his time tweaking it so that it works 100% because that's the kind of guy he is.

Jeff Walters is a great guy to work with.  I haven't talked to him lately but in the past he has built me a 53, MP5/40 and 51k with a 5" barrel. I did have a small problem with the 51k but Jeff fixed it ASAP.  He is probably the most friendly person you will ever deal with in this insustry.

He and Tom Bostic are tied for my vote of "Most Friendly". Jeff treated me like a friend from the first time I ever spoke to him, before I even knew WTF I was doing (LOL!) and we talked roller-locks for awhile, before I was certain I wanted to buy an A2 kit and a flat, and have him build it up for me.
