The vendor I bought from was 72.00 + 8.00 shipping

I just checked and they raised the price to 77.00 with $8.00 shipping.

I see other stores used to carry these for $50ish but they are all sold out. I wonder if HK USA is going to import some more.

Possible, but mine were only $65 each. .  I just picked up a few Promag 20rnd for 12.99 each.  The 30's are a couple bucks more and as much as I love to hate on ProMag for the Vepr12 everyone says that this 93 mag just works. I just wanted an HK mag for my rifle.

What vendors are these, if you don't mind saying, since you have bought your mags.

ETA: The only place I am able to find in stock through my search for 30rd mags is HKParts.net at $84.95 + $14.99 shipping.

On the Magazine front Zenith says they'll be having a shipment of their poly mags coming in a couple weeks, HK said they consider the 93 a dead platform and will not be importing any more mags.

Would it be a bad idea to buy a couple of the HK mags? I see stock is dropping rather fast..have they been this price for awhile now? I just would hate to buy $70 mags and the value plummets.

Here are the MKE 30 rounders.

MKE mags

These may or may not work in the new guns.  There are known issues with the older Century built guns.

Can anyone reach out to their PTR contact and see if they will be testing/making these to accept the MKE mags? That would be pretty huge if they are made to fit.

The old Century built C93s varied on if they would only accept HK mags or if they would accept Pro Mags and MKE. Regardless it's a simple process of removing some material from the magazine. There are numerous videos on youtube on how to do this.

That being said from what I've seen so far PTR is shipping this with a Promag so if that's the case then MKE mags should work just fine without modification.

FWIW even the MKE mags for my MP5 are a tighter fit than my HK ones.

I think as the info has trickled in from various email responses, it has alleviated some fears. I bet if they started out stating ALL of the facts, it would have dried up faster.

I bought a pair of 40s from Apex expecting to get one with the gun and expecting all current supplies of German mags to quickly run out. Just bought two of the 30s from HK Specialist. That should do until I find a deal.

Are they marking these in some way so we can prove they're PTR builds?

Does anyone know if these barrels will be stainless?

Or carbon steel that’s been nitride treated?

Just ran across these on HK Parts

PTR built HK93 barrels

I'd wager these are what they are going to be using

Carbon steel. Doubt they'll be nitride treated. PTR thus far has only offered nitride treated barrels on their MP5 type pistols, but we shall see. BLV has been getting fairly high round counts on their PTR's using just the factory barrels, so I wouldn't worry about it.

ETA: HKPARTS is advertising PTR manufactured 93 barrels. Carbon steel from 4140.

As far as magazines are concerned, I have a dozen new MKE magazines, and considering one of the issues encountered by some was due to the magazine catch being shallow, and not engaging the magazine, I ordered up the latest generation catch just in case.

From what I gather the magazines themselves are pretty good. I haven't seen any abusive testing on the HK 93/33 Promags but they should make reliable range mags. The main issue is that some of the C93 rifles are using "old" mag catches that have a different profile than "new" mag catches. This requires you to dremel the lock-in point depression on the Promag with a drum and test fit until it locks completely in place or spend the +/- $30 on a new style catch. There are a couple Youtube vids detailing the dremel process and its a stupid easy procedure if you have the tool.

What's your poison?

Pretty much anything you want can be made to work with an HK93 stype rifle.  If you're terminally cheap, you can get an M16 web sling with a cheap snap hook.  If you're more tacticool, there are 1/2/3-point slings ranging from $30 on up.

I've used some Specter slings before on other rifles, they have a variety of HK stuff that's pretty affordable, if you want that route.  Optics Planet seems to carry most of their line.  RobertRTG stocks some surplus/contract options.  HKParts has a variety of things, but they're expensive.

The 93 pattern is sold to diehard HK fans. If the G41 was made, it would have a greater outreach because it; 1, uses AR mags and everyone wants a rifle that uses AR mags. And 2, it is a HK pattern gun and that in of itself is extremely popular as a marketing tool.

Yeah I get it I just disagreed with the implication that the other roller locked guns weren’t popular.

A G41 clone isn't going to happen at C93 prices or even PTR 91 prices. Hell, it would probably cost more than a PTR 9C/CT. Doesn't make sense to me to pay 3x or more the cost of a C93 to save $60 per magazine as I'm not that autistic that I need 20+ mags for a range rifle.
