I would be very concerned about this. First of all do not shoot it until you get it looks at by an HK gunsmith as it does NOT appear normal or in spec at all. It does look like a clone Coharie/SW or BW clone. Give them a call and see if they will take a look at it and get that fixed. |
i just checked, and was able to move the barrel/trunnion by hand in/out of the reciever  Yes it is a clone, the bulder will not be mentioned, I will give them the opportunity to fix it to my satistaction. I will be contacting the builder monday for a repair. can the welds on the reciever be re done, or am I looking at a new reciever? |
That's terrible. Sure the welds can be re-done. It's a shame the guy doesn't have much pride in his work to let something like that out. That's too bad. Good luck. |

WOW, that's pretty bad. Good luck on getting the gun fixed. It looks like your trunion was welded in 1-2 places? I have a gun that a certain board member here also welded the trunion in two places instead of 6-8 places. And to top it off, the welds were filled in with stainless steel rod instead of carbon steel. During parkerizing, the two welds did not tak to the park, which confirms stainless steel was used. |
| I had a similar thing happen to me. I had about 1/8" play in my barrel in either direction....NOT GOOD. It seems that the "armorer" (joke) that replaced the barrel in mine, machine fit (ground down) the barrel to the trunion instead of press fitting. Yours seems to be a bit different problem. either way... DO NOT SHOOT IT!! I had Ralph at RDTS fix mine and it turned out awesome. Good luck!! |
