Now that is awesome!

As the heading says. I am looking for a Semi-auto 53/93/33 clone in carbine configuration (pistol length barrel with pinned fake can to make legal overall length of 16") It can go to an Arizona (Phoenix) FFL or in CA configuration (Kydex grip I can provide) to a So-Cal FFL. Let me know, Jesse

Trigger pack from Bill Springfield arrived today, looks great, drops in nicely. Will put a few rounds through next range trip. Thanks for the heads up. As others have stated, quick turn around, which in gunsmithing is an unknown for me. I have two semi-Bren .303's from Prasky at over 25 months...

Thanks ordered a trigger pack from him. He has them on his site at $169, which is clearly not updated - From Bill: "...9mm packs run $335 now, surplus trigger packs have gone up 2-3X in price in the last year..." That's still $10 less than HKparts. Went to HKparts for the grip screw, ended up...

I need one of these, can you DM me Bill Springfield's contact info. please? JVJ

It's interetsing when I brought it the provenance wasn't mentioned~ it came with the FSSF shoulder patch copies of the owners military papers, and some black and white photographs, really awesome stuff, I added the Kiska patch as he was there, and the 442, and 10th mountain ski knife.

Yes, you guys have all experienced it, so the review is not news for members on this forum, but it was a good day for me, and I felt compelled to share here, lol. Also, I had read about stoppages and some workmanship/machining issues with the PTR, but this one runs like melted butter. Would...

Some my old iron: Thompson + V42 L1A1 + 1st patt FS MP44/MP40/MG42 + Kampfmessers Sten SW Victory + 3rd past FS Garand 1945 M1911A1 (Colt) + John Ek Commando M1A1 + 3rd patt FS

Hi guys, Not strictly HK I know, but had a great day at the private range. I am new to this brand (long time C&R collector), and coming in slow and cheap, lol! I had a day spare so took the PTR 9 carbine to the range to break it in. Brand new out of the box, fed it 250 rounds of Blazer. Zero...

Thank you, guys. The carbine is 34" overall, which limits the length of case.

Hi Guys, Would love a great range case for this carbine, compact as possible but with somewhere to stow a brace of 30 rd mags, the second lower and some other accessories. Long enough for the 16" barrel, but not so long an L1A1 would fit. Any advice or anyone with one for sale would be much...

Thanks, my interest in the MP5 system springs from the SAS use during the Iranian Embassy siege. So there is a threads that joins these knives to the HK manufacturer.

Some great stuff here. My thing is WW2 Fairbairn Sykes. In World War 2, the commando dagger came to symbolize many things to a desperate people, mainly a fierce will to fight back at any cost. Not a gun, or a plane, but a knife, the most intimate and personal of weapons. It was the arm of the...

Nope, it is a Belgian licensed brevet of the Adams in .36 - a contemporary of the Colt Navy -

Yes, it is a fine knife that one, but, not sure how long I will hold onto it. When one is offered such a lot of money for something that for me at least, defies reason, one is inclined to not wait around too long, lol. (I can buy a transferable firearm for that money.)

Yes, this is exactly what I have heard - I was careful with my words in case you were sensitive to such comments. It's such a shame as it is so iconic looking, too!

That's a terrific site, yes, those guys really do their research. For me it's just a hobby.

Theis book has a great chapter on Ek Knives: Allied Military Fighting Knives: And The Men Who Made Them Famous https://www.amazon.com/Allied-Military-Fighting-Knives-Famous/dp/1581602901

I love the VP70 - it's unfortuntely usually loved by all those that haven't had the pleasure to have shot it. How is yours to shoot?

Thank you, Ek knives are a particular favorite of mine, I will do a better piece on them. You're probably aware of John Ek and what he went through to make those knives as good as they could be in WW2. You could only buy one if you sent him your soldier card, he refused to sell to civilians. He...
