1.Special Weapons (Todd Bailey) Maker... I say that loosely.
2.Top-Notch (Todd Bailey) Sole-Retailer That's it.. no one else makes anything any closer. He claims the receivers are in spec.... but... well..... Get yourself a talented gunsmith to fix it. With that aside... they turn a nice parts kit into a pretty nice gun. Check'm out. At least they are producing a product for the market  Can't knock'm for that. |

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that question,.........
It sure does surprise me to find, only ONE manufacturer actually makes a HK94/MP5 receiver. Quality cast AR receivers coming out your ears and most priced at $125. Now you look at a cheap stamped MP5 receiver and no one seems to be able to do it. |

it also makes me wonder just how hard it is to stamp a piece of sheet metal. HK did the R&D already, all you gotta do now is copy it!

P.O.F. does not make a reciever, they use a HK licensed Pakistanian manufactured reciever, which is better than SW, however, illegal for civilians to own |

because they are not American made, there was talk of P.O.F. trying to import the dies so they could manufacture their own which would be perfectly spec'd, but I wouldnt hold your breath |

Because they are machine gun receivers, plus they are not allowed to be imported per the '89 EO.
ETA : Yeah, POF has been trying for years to get that shit over here, but to no avail.... You can thank Pakistan for that because POF-USA has tried their best !

SO if you were to choose between building a kit from a real HK kit using an SW receiver or a POF kit using SW reciever (at half the price). Which would you do?

Damn good question... I've asked myself the same question many times... I would use the SW receiver and the POF parts and be done with it ! If a better receiver were to make it to market... then I would think about investing in an HK kit and a spec'd receiver.... Go with the SW & POF combo.... a good smith will make you one helluva gun.
