Guess where I spent my day

[paul123]

how does one seek to gain access to this room of amazing wonders of mechanical engineering?????

do they let you handle them??? or are they just for eyes only???

what i wouldent give for just an hour and a nice nikon camera :)

I was allowed to handle anything I wanted. They don't treat them like museum pieces. Those guns are there to be appreciated. Heck, at one point their Dir. of Training took a P9S 45 out of my hands so he could strip it on the conference table to show me the locking mechanism. In fact, they even have a little step ladder in the room in case you need to reach one of the guns on a higher mount.

Then again, odds are you don't get invited into the room if you're the kind of person who's likely to use a pair of PDWs as drumsticks ...

Those G11 inner working remind me of a watch. A very fine, expensive, watch.

My puddle of drool has reached epic proportions. Thanks for sharing with us Todd!

I'm very excited about the revised World of HK that TF is working on. Seems like this trip may help that cause, ay Todd??? :D

Is the upper Mk23 ("USSOCOM") date coded "KG" with a SN of 23-2365???
I thought that the Prototypes/Military versions were SN 23-001 through 23-2086 (the first Civilian SN that I am aware of is 23-214X). :D

Just posted this in a new Mk23 thread:

(bottom is the Phase I OHWS prototype with Insight LAM and HK-built "Pelican Bill" suppressor)

Here is the whole family:


These are something called "Peace Evans." Never heard of it, but they made lots of different ones.


One of the coolest guns you wouldn't actually want to shoot much:


Coulda woulda shoulda ...


Who can identify this?

Wow love the MK23's I wish i could get one of the LAM's from one.
