Alright gents, I'm getting to the point where I want a new long gun...and HK long gun. Ar's are boring to me, and I just cant get into AKs....what I came up with was a an HK53. Problem is bigfoot is eaiser to find. Now, I spoken with a couple people already to get a general idea, however I'm extending the conversation here. Now before we start, yes, I've "used the search function" but I'm still looking for some specific answers.
To start, I understand that this isnt going to inexpensive. Second, if I do a clone go with DT. Third, it seems as though most agree that getting a build kit, AND a 93 is the best way to go. So i'm curious, what have others done to build their HK53's? Who do you use, what components do you use (gun, kit, etc) Who do you recommend for building, what price are you looking at, what time length are we talking? I'm ok with waiting, all good things and what not, but I'm curious if It's really worth it to invest ~7k to get this done. I've been told D53 is #1 for clones, Zenith #2, and vectors are garbage....
Any advice on this or input on what others have done would be GREATLY appreciated.
