Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 14BoltFF: You're welcome. I came across this website a while back claiming to have bipods in stock at a hefty $220. I have zero experience with the vendor, though. Thanks. That seems very rich. Thankfully, I was able to pick one up from a very generous member of this board. So, I'm all set. Regardless, my guess is that if, as and when, MKE starts bringing in the -33s, their parts will also follow. Just like with the AP5s. |

My guess would be the same thing that draws people to the AP5; a cheaper price point of a not readily available German classic. Not everyone can drop $4k+ on the real thing and with HK 91 and 93 prices still climbing, I’m sure Century won’t have too much trouble moving 91 and 33 clones. |

Not just the price for Old HK93’s but the fact that no one has any new ones available in regular production, not even any clone makers. MP5 at least still has new production available from HK, MKE, POF, PTR, not to mention the boutique clone builders. Your only hope for a HK93 is either one of the guns assembled from kits that sold out a long time ago, factory HK guns that stopped being imported a generation ago, or building/having one built on a parts kit by one of the roller lock builders. There’s just no option to casually decide you want one in order a brand new one from a retailer. |

I’d say it’s not antiquated at all. Agreed right up until I try and feed them hollowpoints. Got the most tapered rounds I could find (critical duty) and neither of mine can make it through a magazine (yes, I'm using HK mags) I was hoping for some retro tech that could feed a modern round, and have found thats just not the case. Range toys or +p+ 124 is about where I'm at with these. I love them, but just being honest. My full size even malf'd with ball ammo today, which did not happen on the first outing- It choked hard with the critical duty so I'll be replacing the extractor springs with HK copper springs, but they get one more trip to the range. If either have a malf with ball ammo after that, frankly they're going to get sold and I'll be snagging an MPX. |

Imagine a redesigned MP5, with a bullet feed ramp, a better-designed extractor using a coil spring, and possibly a last-round bolt hold open with an external bolt release.

You won’t break a 91. Clean it and lube it. There are G3s in widespread use by illiterate 3rd world soldiers. The Germans dusted theirs off and put them back into service early on in the GWOT. |
