You might want to note a few things:
1) HK54.com is owned entirely by Todd Baily AKA Special Weapons. Anybody brave enough to have posted anything bad about his products was banned and the threads most likely would be deleted.
2) HK54.com is down right now becuase Toad was served with a supeona at the Shot Show. He does not want his own site being used against him in court.
3) I have almost never heard anything good about an SW-5. It is said by knowledable sources that Toad slaps his Rifles together w/o the proper tools and doesn't inspect them. QC is non-existent. So, you may get a good one or a bad one. It is like playing Russian Roulette.
4) His prices are ridiculous for a knock-off. Guns-N-Stuff (
www.gunsnstuff.net) has HK-94 Receivers for $399.95. Last time I checked their HK-94 Kits were $500. They currently do not list a price on their web page for HK Kits. So, you will have to check the catalog.
5) Toad denied the extractors were bad for a long time. Long enough to screw some people out of their warranties. In fact, he kept producing them w/ bad extractros even after being informed that the extractors were bad.
6) Most people who have actually dealt with Toad's or Special Weapons say that they are jackasses. From his posts online, I would say they are correct. Also, his posts suggest a substandard IQ. He cannot spell worth shit and makes up lies like crazy. For example, he recently posted on his site that he was ending production of the SW3 because he got a military contract which anybody knows is BS. Why, becuase a military can get original HKs for less than an SW. Even the French consider his products to be garbage.
