HK91 at Cabela's

[YALE]

They have some pretty good deals there. Do they have an actual store front in Abilene where you can go and pick the stuff up?

Just have them transfer it to Jeff, dude.

EDIT: Also, that PTR debacle did suck.

There's also this and a tax stamp! Woot!

If you're decent at welding and measuring, you can build yourself a true HK G3 for around $500-600.

Did you build yours?

yes

[VaderTT]

yes

Even though I didn't fire it, I really liked the feel. Would you be up for building another?

I've been toying with the idea of doing this, what can you tell me about it. Did you go with the receiver from HKparts?

I am jealous of you! I have always wanted a model 91, and I know that they ain't gettin any cheaper.



That is a great price. Anything below $1200 is good. Yale and I went to a gun shop in Austin one time and I was filling out the 4473 to buy one, but then the guy told me that it was chambered in 7.62x39. I almost cried.

The next time I come up your way I will shoot you a pm and maybe we can have a 91/93 range day, I promise not to bring or bring up the K word

no, I get my HK parts from old milspec HK issue weapons from robertrtg.com I only buy new issue late model selectors and HK stuff from HKParts (they are expensive as hell). You need to know what you're doing, and it takes a lot of trial and error, it is harder than most rifles, but it's worth your time. You need to get a jig to bent the flats, and you need to get the mandrel insert to hammer your rails/races into spec.

I would, but not to build just one, I would want to build at least 3 more for myself, so yes in the distant future I'm up for it.

Let me know, prior to the date, so I can start buying parts.

Sounds like a whole lot of fun! I've been eying both the HKparts site and robertrtg site, mentally piecing a rifle together. I'd have to build two though, a HK91, and then a HK51. I used to have a Century Arms 91 that wasn't too bad, but I traded it plus cash on a M1A... Wish I'd just forked over the cash and kept it. Whenever I get around to doing the build, I'll have to get with you and get some pointers.
