www.pof-usa.com/hk91parts/hk91portbuf.htm $40 As for the damage to the receivers, it one of the reasons that I have my clones only parkerized, and not painted. When it needs to be touched up, black/cold blueing works great. |

I installed on one my buddy's Greek-made HK91-clone a Springfield Armory SAR8. Works like a champ. You can remove the rubber buffer without scratching the finish by gently prying it loose; I know, I know, I know, it will scratch finish, but be VERY CAREFUL, it can be done, because I've done it. You can reload the dinged up cases, it just looks bad, but fires like a champ with the familiar longitudal lines caused by the fluted chamber. |
| Dog1: Yep, that is part of the experience of shooting an HK91/93-type gun, it throws the fired cased about 20-30 feet to the right with some alacrity. BUT, I don't think the rubber buffer will prevent the paint on your car from being dinged, it will just prevent the crease that looks nasty, and don't confuse the longitutinal lines from the fluted chamber with the crease. Maybe you can put a large piece of cardboard between your car and rifle, that will definitely prevent dinged paint. |
Oh I know about HK type guns...I had several before I sold them to make a profit on them...  The one 91 I had with a port buffer tended to reduce the distance a casing was thrown and drop the angle more toward the ground... It's private property where I shoot...I park where I always park....it was just that the day I went I took the PTR with me for it's maiden shoot....I now know that next time I will park a little father out...

Hmm... I didn't know that the port buffer decreases the distance that the ejected case is thrown. Well park your car to the left of where you're shooting at and that would solve the paint dinging problem. |
