Ok- I have the bug after shooting one today. I want to buy the parts and a 91 and do as much as I can on the build- then send it out for final assembly. I am not going to be able to sell the wife on the turnkey HK21 from TSG up front so are there complete kits out there or do I have buy each part seperately from a place like Ohio Rapidfire? Any info would be great as this is a start from scratch project and I am in the dark on the build. |

All I can say is, good luck finding an 'e' parts kit. Call Ralph at RDTS and speak with him. www.rdts.com/Page7.html |

If you want the real thing it will be very expensive. I think the last time I saw a 21E being offered as a parts set it was something like $20k or $25K I can't quite recall the exact amount. A push pin G3 receiver runs something like $14k. It will then cost something like $2k to have a compentent smith "cut and paste" so to speak. A .223 conversion kit will be something like $7.2k assuming you can find a 23E barrel for $3.5k. It is my understanding from discussions with Terry Dyer if you want a swing down beltfeed mechanism this is about the only way the BATFE will allow. Well, I suppose, if you could find one of the 5 or so semi-auto 21A1 that Vollmer did many years ago and put a registered sear in a 21E trigger group -- you could do it that way, too. Then of course there is Michaels Machine 23EMM - vapor ware |

Did some one say 23? my best friend shooting a 23, what a fun gun to shoot. Amazing ate of fire and it flings braas almost as far and as hard as lead. It was built off of a swing down G3.  The 21's aren't as much fun to shoot. I prefer the Mag 58 or M60. But the rate of fire is every bit a impressive as the 23. That's a Ohio Rapid fire with registered Sear. I've shot a transferable w/ a registered sear, no difference then the ORF gun.  If you're going 308 belt fed, ya gotta go for the Mag58   |
