Good folks of the Forum. Bear with my ramblings. Don't usually even lurk here but was an H&K nut prior to getting into AR's. Cohorts of many years and I have amased several nice H&K's: 91A3 & A2, 93A3 & A2, 630, 770 & SL7's, P7's. Most with a majority of factory accessories. Traded out a 940 couple of years ago and never owned an SL6 (never found the right one). We have no clones. Here is the question: Should we sell, take the cash and buy some new toys? or Should we continue to shoot them and not worry that if they break based on H&K customer service to date we're SOL? Manly looking for input on why we should keep or sell that we may have missed. Thanks, Richard PS: If we decide to sell we'll give the folks at AR15.com first shot. |

although they ar HK, the weapon systems have hit the pinical many years ago, where as the AR is still evolving look how much has happend in the AR wolrd in the last few years, you have new rounds liike the 50AE and beouwulf, that can hunt big stuff with, you have ar10's and 15 chaber in great long range rounds like the 6.5,, 308 and 270, also you can get 22lr conversions to shoot cheep. HK's are great weapon ssystmes and will hold there value better but if you are going to be using them, there is more things that you can do with an AR |
I'd keep em. Or most of em. But maybe we can trade  Important part really is are you collecting, or mainly a shooter? The import ban is still in effect, despite the end of the AWB. As much as I enjoy AR's, and how easy they are to assemble and modify, they are dime a dozen at the gun shows. If you can afford real HK's, you can afford to buy or build yourself an AR.

I say keep them. As a HK fan I too have 630,770s, 940s HK91s 93A2 and 94A2 SLB2000, USC, P9S, SL7,P7M8 ,USPs, and a HK270 .22 HKs are rare, and IMO the HK hunting rifles are THE BEST semi auto hunting rifles ever built. They are rare, and spendy but are so much better than a Browning or Remington. If you do ever sell one please let me know, I am always in the market for another HK  |

I would keep them unless you have extraordinary cash needs. I have always regretted selling any gun I ever had. While that list is short, the remorse lives on That said, if you genuinely want to expand your horizon and enjoy a new or refreshing line of firearms, I think it could be a healthy thing. how's that for decisiveness?

You guys are about as decisive as I am. Lots of keep'em you'll regret it later but the allure of new toys.......... Has anyone had any positive experence with HK customer service lately? The fact that you can't buy replacement parts, home swap bbls, etc. is one of the biggest concerns we have with continuing to use them for what they were intended. What about all the parts guns going together based on the 90 series? Will it dilute the market? |

rrbgeb, Personally, I'd keep the HK's. As said before, they are far more difficult to replace than AR's. ARs are fine rifles, but they are also dime a dozen. Sounds like your primary concern is the wear and tear on your toys. Unless you dump LOTS of rounds, don't think the AR will save you tons of $$. Uppers have a bad habit of turning into complete rifles! Get an AR to play with on the range, or, if the training/weapon familiarity is a factor, get yourself a decent clone to abuse. The parts guns will never dilute the real HK market, unless the import ban goes away. I'm not holding my breath on that one.
