Only your wallet can answer that question. I build everything.

Im of the opinion that Honey Badgers are more for status. like having a nice watch. If you want one and can afford it, go for it. There are better, cheaper options out there though

The only reason you would functionally want a Honey Badger more for is weight.
That's the real gem of the Honey Badger. As far as a reliable shooter? Fuck no. Either Assemble one for 1/3 the cost that's better suited for your needs, or buy a complete BCM or soon Geissele and you have 2x the rifle as a Honey Badger. |

I built a clone using a honey badger barrel and gas system and handguard, geissele upper receiver and a pws mk1 mod-2 lower.

HB was a very nice gun designed to replace the MP5SD.
if you step out of that box, better guns can be built. KB complimented mine when i showed him pics at a trade show, saying better stuff had come along since the days of the HB.

HB is cool, but a good bit of $$$ for what you get.
I have a home built Awesome Possum which is mostly a 7.5" pinned Faxon Gunner, MI Combat rail, LAW Folder, and Tailhook brace. |

Another option is a Noveske Ghetto Blaster. Licensed receiver design from Q, and uses the Honey Badger stock assembly.
Mine is obviously not stock.

Does anyone know of a place I would be able to purchase a buffer kit for the HBPDW Brace. I bought a brace from a guy but its missing the buffer tube, buffer, spring and castle nut.
