Hi HK Pro's .... here is my tale of woo. I am no stranger to HK. Had the complete line in the early 80's and shot 1,000's of rounds through 91, 93 and 94's without so much a one jam using PMC ammo. Now for present day. Decided to re-visit my youth and get back into shooting. So I purchased a very clean 93A .... bought 1,000 rds of PMC and headed to the range. Shot one 20 round clip and on the second mag, experienced a first for me .... a trigger pull with no result. I pulled the cocking lever back and much to my surprise found a bent up spent cartridge .... must have been a fluke. Put a new clip in ... fresh ammo. After several rounds .... same thing. A combination of jams, spent cartridges not clearing before the bolt slammed back etc. So I packed up the gun and sent it back to the seller. The seller had it checked out by a HK gunsmith and the gunsmith fired 100 rounds of mil spec ammo without a problem. I received a refund and went shopping for another 93. Found one last week ... a very clean 93 with low, low round count. Looked like new.
So I trotted off to the range with the same PMC ammo. It was deja vu all over .... almost to the identical round count. I checked the PMC ammo online ... 223A Bronze (suppose to be mil spec.)
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?? I cannot imagine it's the gun ....
BTW ... I have a 91 and it works flawlessly as do all my other HK pistols ... P9S 9, 45, P7M8, P7M13 and new HK 45 V1.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
