does it have an aluminum receiver, or steel? Post a picture of it. They are clone of the HK91, with mixed reviews on reliability, depending on a few factors.

Use it to pound nails.

if it does have the aluminum reciever, you can demill the gun and replace it with a steel one. If it does have aluminum, I suggest not shooting it much.

I'd have to double check, but probably aluminum. Gun is accurate and cycles well.
I guess he's afraid they are going to ban pistol AR's???

With a nitride barrel, questionable quality bolt and standard trigger, it's only a good deal if you don't plan on trusting your life to it. I personally like IraqVeteran, but this is not a "good deal." It's just a cheap gun.

The 10mm intrigues me, I just think it may be a little too hot for a CC gun.
But as a house/truck gun it would work. Just don't miss because its gonna go into your neighbors house .....

Properly loaded 10mm is a beast, Americanized 10mm is basically 40s&w. 10mm proper is a destroyer. 45 Super is better IMO.
Both are hard to control under rapid fire. 9mm is a better choice for a combat pistol.

I've never owned one. But you already know the reputation of HK. From the pic it looks like the standard AR setup. So, from a survivalist perspective I would be asking about parts availability and interchangeability.
Other than that, is it a good weapon? I can't see HK putting junk on the market. I can build a really great rifle that is dependable and features things like a cold hammer forged chrome bore barrel, nickel boron bolt and a Geissele trigger with decent sights for just over half the price of that HK. The difference would be that the HK will probably be a shade more accurate.
Then again, most quality built rifles have an accuracy potential greater than most casual shooters are capable of. Should you buy it? That depends upon why you're buying it and, more importantly how you plan to employ it. In any event, in about two to three years, Uncle Scam will be wanting you to fork it over.
A small edit here: Unless you have a lot of patience, do not do business with PSA. They have the worst customer service in the firearms industry and they are damn proud of it. I got a defective upper from them once and it took five months to get the issue resolved. Check on YT. Many of those people will confirm the lack of customer support. AND, if you complain, they will quit doing business with you.

Got a message from GOA today:
However, anti-gun extremists haven’t backed down, and they’re plotting to sabotage our victory by removing that amendment as Congress negotiates the final passage of the omnibus continuing resolution funding bill!
TELL CONGRESS: REPEAL THE VETERAN GUN BAN!
As you may recall, both the House and Senate passed bipartisan amendments last year to repeal the Veteran Gun Ban after an intense lobbying campaign by GOA and our members.However, anti-gun extremists haven’t backed down, and they’re plotting to sabotage our victory by removing that amendment as Congress negotiates the final passage of the omnibus continuing resolution funding bill!

The AR15 is perhaps the most scienced out and tested firearm in history. By that I mean the American civilian consumer market. The regular DI Palmetto State AR, will likely perform just as good as the HK.
Yes the HK will have some "better parts" and better fit and finish, but by in large, the only thing I would say about the HK that would have an edge over the standard DI Ar15, is barrel life. A chrome lined hammer forged barrel will out last and out perform a nitrided barrel, but the AR15 is a very easy rifle to do a barrel change on.
If I had a choice, and it was the last rifle I could buy, between the HK and others like the PSA, I would choose the HK, simply due to longevity, but no other reason. If I could use the same funds, I would choose to buy 6 PSA AR!5s, and would never have to worry about a rifle again.
Nice gun though.

bump.
anything new in the gun world?
anything new in the gun world?
If you live in cali or some commie hell hole maybe check into a lever action that uses AR mags. Not perfect but it protects part of your investment...
I like lever action.

that is an interesting idea. CA will figure out a way to ban it.
Can we have a peaceful breakup of this country?
conservatives get their states and libs get theirs? We can still travel to other states and trade, but the law is the law once u cross the state line Keep NFL and CFB also

Lever action guns can do a bunch in a much cooler way. They are very thin which is why many Cowboys like them for saddle guns. One gun I have always wanted has a 45-70, either Winchester or Marlin. Never had a use for one though.
You don't need a reason to want or own one.

Yeah I could say that for almost 30 others I have in the arsenal. Maybe one day. I was looking at a stainless model, in 45 70, like this one. I like the classic look. Maybe without the rail on top.
