I’ve made my old blog public again. A lot of the original information sources have dried up so it has some good historical info. I hope to keep up the blogging with new posts in a semi-regular basis. Check it out:

The funny thing about most manufacturing is that economies of scale don't usually kick in until thousands or even millions of units are on the table.

922(o) needs repeal.

Not because it's an evil gun control measure. [Which it is.]

As a deficit reduction measure. While a drop in the bucket against the trillion$ of deficit, there's 26 years of pent-up demand at $200 a pop. That's a chunk of change into the treasury.

Representative democracy at its worst:

Any post by anyone in this thread that is not related to an HK-looking, 5.7-shooting firearm will be considered off-topic and receive a formal warning.

If that kills the thread, so be it.

It probably is a date code or lot-sort or shift code. I haven't been able to puzzle through the scheme that is used (not a lot of data or data points), but others might have more insight.

Tempers: Keep them.

Opinions: Express them politely, and recognize that not everyone may share the same view.

It'd be easier to take a $600 HK33 clone and down-scale its internals to the 5.7x28mm than to try to shoe-horn the 5.x7x28mm into firearm designed for .22LR (or 9mm, 10mm, or .45)

Not that it would be "easy." (and HK be still be HK and would still hate you.)

If you built up your barrel (ie similar tornado tech extension) to the right size, could you field strip your gun? If right size = 1/2" OD, then no.

There are a few other "stock" [sorry for the confusing term] photos floating around.

One of the first thing I noticed is that the trigger is missing from the model firearm.
I wonder if they took that route in order to avoid the making of an NFA firearm.
