It is one thing to knock off a readily available product simply to cash-in. It is another to recreate a product that would otherwise be unavailable. There is also a patent aspect as by disclosing details of a product enables up to 20 years of protection against such circumstances. Beyond...
Alright, who wants a 1:1 at a fraction of the cost of buying one of those? Hell, I might do it for free just on principle. A wild ass guess for the unit cost when making say 50 units is probably $200 an assembly - could swing $100 but still it would be way cheaper.
It is clear they were...
If someone has a real one they want to send to me, I will model the entire assembly and have it returned in less than a week from when I receive it. We can crowd source the cost of production and I would charge $10 per unit over cost for the hassle of coordinating the endeavor. When a model is...
They would be worth their original purchase price for all of those who think playing games with import restrictions is a bad idea. To those who want to try and sell the parts despite that, they are worth the going rate of an upper with parts kit - whatever market may be. Unless ATF has relaxed...
I appreciate the compliment but it really isn't true. I get crap wrong all the damn time. In fact, I'm going to prove it. Looking more at the 233 pic on HK's site, they photoshopped the retro fit out! @Barn Owl Lover is undoubtedly correct and they assigned the 233 designation to that...
These pics are from a pro thread where SMGLee took pics at an Association of United States Army expo. The pics show the early version of the IDZ program. The battery and mother board were stored in the stock. Note how the rear of the stock hinge extends higher than the line of the receiver...
HK has so many stupid designations for the series it is nearly impossible to capture all of them, so A3 may not be correct. That said, it isn't a 233. The 233 is a completely molded receiver. My picture is of a retrofit. It is a standard G36 receiver that they cut up and added the aluminum...
The PKP falls outside of my tiny bubble so I am not familiar. This redesign appears to have been a way of resolving bureaucratic objections without having to completely replace entire inventories.
IDK if I would even call it a problem. It works within its designed parameters. I often cut food with the edge of my fork. A fork isn't a knife although it can be used as one, but at a certain point it fails as a makeshift knife.
