Back when I got my HK91 (new,for $680) there were no G3's on the market. I had a buddy that had one and got to play with his a bit. Loved it. It was more like a finely crafted piece of precission machinery than a battle rifle. German designed and maliciously machined thru and thru.
The only drawback to this gun is a fluted chamber that is somewhat a PITA to reloaders,although I reload for mine. Actually one more - - -> is ejects the brass farther than any other weapon I have shot.
I would really like to purchase a quality scope for my gun. A scope that would make the gun proud. Maybe a Heinstoldt or an older Steiner.
Red, you were borned too late to be able to play with all the good stuff. And you clearly missed the war that was not so much politicslly correct. A war where you could "get to it" and REALLY do your job. --- SAWMAN
I think you are right sir, I always said I should have been a LRRP in Nam. Now we just roll around till we get blown up and shoot up buildings and mountains.
There is the rare occasion when we have got the drop on a few of them. Almost always at night and it took a lot of walking lol. Their early warning system is spot on. They got in the habit of leaving pieces of food just outside our entry/exit points so that when we would walk out on ambush the dogs would bark and they would know that Americans are on the hunt. Then the chess game began.
Needless to say there would have to be a dog "clean" up day every so often.
Anyway yeah I see some of those old flyers and they used to sell guns at Sears?? A few decades from now some guy is gonna say....they used to sell AR15s at Walmart??
