Black Rifles Bought a HK93 tonight

Clicker · Aug 1, 2010

Well I took the hit and bought another HK boomstick. I doubt it will be here by next weekends BH cleanup but should arrive shortly thereafter.
The rifle comes with both the A2 and A3 stocks.
Guess I need to find a FA carrier so I can take her for a true test drive.
I'm pretty stoked to pick up a German built gun at a nice price. Maybe one day it will turn into a 53!

Come on now ya gotta read the titles too ya know!

The 93 is a 5.56 rifle. I have a 53 clone now which is the SBR version of the same gun. I'd love to have the 93 built into a 53 someday. Time will tell.

With the time and cost in tear down, cut and thread barrel, reassembly, and refinish, would it not be the same to sell the 93 and buy a 53? Obviously you will have a stamp either way you go so I left that cost out.

By the way congrats on getting a real 93. I am trying to get the money up to buy a kit to build one.

One more thing, This Thread Is Worthless Without Some Pics. Come on man show us some H&K goodness.

You can't buy a HK factory built semi auto 53 they were all imported as FA guns.

Therefore if you want a 53 built with German parts you get to buy a cut up 53 in kit form and have it built on a 93 receiver.

Lots of cutting and welding etc so the $200 tax stamp is the least of ones worries when contemplating a 53 build. I honestly don't know if I'll ever get to turn the 93 into a 53 but now I have a donor rifle in the 93 should I decide to do it.

Pictures......ppppppffffftttt......I'm doing good to post this text much less pictures.
Maybe someday I'll be able to handle pic's.

I didn't know they were all full auto. I thought the barrel length was the only difference.

Well the tracking info says the 93 is in the Fedex warehouse in Hanahan. Geez man that's less than 4 miles from my house.
Wonder if I could sneak in there and just fondle it for a bit.
