Why do none of the g3 kits come with these. Also what is the legality of them. I've heard legal rumors about them.

Perfectly legal, but a pain to install. Most of the builders charge over $100 plus the parts because the labor is a pain.

The hole used to install the paddle release is the same hole that makes the receiver a MG. I understand that the ATF has relaxed their stance and allows installation by non-class 3 folks if the hole is drilled blind (not completely through) and then welded over. Better check though.

The paddle release makes all the difference in loading quickly.

Thanks for the great info. I'll have to do a little checking on doing it legally. I am building a hk51 right now and thought it would be neat to have that on there!

Check this out before you do the paddle install.
http://www.taclatch.com/default.asp No mods need be made to the receiver and takes minutes to install. The release works from the left side instead of back to front, I like this better than the standard paddle. |

Post pic's if you do it!
The link shows how it is done by all of the well known smiths. The legality is covered by the lack of a hole for a pushpin. [sarcasm] Keeping us dangerous civilians from clipping on a burst lower and mowing down the masses [/sarcasm] The sad thing is that the law makers have no idea how much is involved in a MG conversion; instead along with the F/A parts they targeted anything cosmetic that makes it look like the MG it mimics. JMHO. |

I think in this case they are very much aware of what is going on. You do realize that once you put the paddle release hole in the receiver, all you have to do is purchase a FA trigger group, frame and carrier. There might be a little dremeling to clean up the shelf area, but that's about it. |

Yes you are right, But as you know HK sent all but the early G3 semi's with a welded over pushpin hole for the lower group. My explanation was stated towards the conversion side of the paddle mag release where as HK could have added it the same way we are talking about here without it becoming an easily converted MG. What congress or more so the ATF has decided is that even MG cosmetics are considered part of a MG conversion, and that is as poor an excuse as was the 94 ban using pistol grips and flash hiders to judge how crime was to be affected.
Cosmetics don't kill! |

In that respect, I agree. The paddle release parts could have been installed and welded over quite legally, prior to importation. However, while we might do that with our rifles after the fact, I can understand why a factory would not want to install parts that can't be removed for service.

how the heck does a hole make the gun an smg?
my bw mp5k carbine has a paddle mag release and i'm guessing the hole doesn't go all the way through but if it did, is there something on the select fire model that attaches to it somehow? |

Quoted:
how the heck does a hole make the gun an smg? It's just like an autosear hole. If that hole is present, all you have to do is purchase a FA carrier and an original FA trigger pack. Both items are readily available. Because the conversion is so easy at that point, the hole is considered the boundary line. |

But you'd still have to have an auto sear for it to function in full-auto, right? |

A full auto trigger pack would contain an auto sear.

and you need a FA bolt carrier,,all teh clones and i think the semi Hk's have that a grove on the BC that keeps the sears fromworkin,, but as said above,, it aint hard,, there is more to it that whats being talked about but it aint worth the hassle
