| Why are HK style SBRs several thousand dollars when you can buy a non SBR version for 1/3 of the cost? Is the barrel not just shorter? I am really confused when I see HK SBR conversion and non HK MP5 stlye semis going for 3-5K. What gives? |
Well, perfection don't come cheap, thats for sure! I dunno where you're seeing an HK94 for 2k, but TAKE IT. 94's are 3k and it takes cutting the barrel plus installing 3 lug fitting. OR you could install Hk/Urbach barrel, but you need a press to pop it out of the gun. THEN there is the flipper mag release, 0-1 or 0-1-F ambi pack and then a refinish cuz welding will leave some spots! And then there's engraving SBR Info and/or restamp MP5-N in place of the HK-94 designation (optional). All that costs probably 1k. Then they tack on another 1k for those that don't want to wait a month or so to have it done. |
