i worked with the D&D Bren Ten blank guns doing a some work for the owner (there were only two and one was retained by the producer of Miami Vice, the other sold privately). they were carbon steel with industrial hard chrome and polished, built out of production seconds explicitly for the show and are a little different from the serial production models.
bill does good work but has very long turn arounds typically due to demand. he typically uses solder to build up an area and trim down with needle files as well as performs individual assessments on each gun, which is how it should be done to get the customer what they want rather than depend on a jig and muscle memory or "it feels real nice". the good part is that the sheet metal HK guns are like legeos and you can always just send a spare trigger pack to him and retain the OEM one for warranty purposes or as a spare.
funny thing is as far as i can tell i can get the timney trigger cheaper than i could get from HKParts. they want about 300 for a standard trigger. HKP seems to be a little ridiculous charging around like twelve hundred for something like a franklin armory binary in a magpul housing they painted the selector switch markings for.
HKP is a joke for most parts, however when they have a part no one else has, it is what it is.
They want $70 more for the HK45 LEM parts than HK themselves do from their own website, but HKP has the parts in stock....
Barska's 3-9x 32mm "Plinker-22" (MPN: AC10380) with very little competition that isn't lacking things like coated lenses for anti fog or eye box that isn't an eyelash-checker. an older Nikon P-Rimfire if you can find one might be more ideal and Burris 3-9x "Droptine" is good too although doesn't last long with rough handling, good for bench shooting though.
They are the biggest non-HK supplier, but some others are HK's Web Shop, Arms Unlimited, Gatewood Supply, Midwest Gun Works, HK Specialist, RTG Parts, etc. i also order stuff from Europtic or Cherry Imports or directly from some places if you're willing to pay ~$100 in shipping alone.
Since I can't find a cerakoter in my area, I've had intrusive thoughts about using Army Painter spray paint/primer to cover up the dings and scratches in my Wrangler.
Why would you cover up scratches with a primer? At least go for a normal rattlecan.
Primer in the right color doesn't suck - the red/dark brown on this rifle is just primer:
Beyond optic, light, and sling, what else would you put on there (besides IR if you’re doing night vision?)
Another gun.
Unironically I want one, in 40. Gimme my Star Wars blaster Hi Point. Ngl been looking at their 40 cal carbines on Sportsmans, the 4095. It'd pair well with my upcoming pistol.Have you ever wanted to own a hi-point carbine that looks like a crusty tweaker took a rusty hacksaw to the stock before using it to murder an Indian who owns the local 7/11 over $137?
Well Hi-Point Firearms has you covered because they're now offering the 995P pistol with modular pic rail attachments and the ability to accept AR Buffer tubes (the pic rail adapter threads into a buffer tube hole)
