C93, talk me out of it

[nismobishi]

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll just stick with my right charging ak plan. Almost spent $650 on a 93 at my LGS, used but with lots of goodies. Mightve been buying some elses headache.

I think I've heard enough.

If it was at we the people then it was mine that i was selling. It was a good one with good headspace and no issues at all.

Ive had one for a couple years now and it shoots like a champ! Got it from Henderson Defense. Has run anything ive ever put through it. However from all the stuff ive read about them I got one of the exceptions to the rule.

I heard the Vectors use a 1/12 barrel, while Century uses 1/9.

Buy the Vector V93.

If you read up on the c93 horror stories on HKPro, you wouldn't even be asking this question.

Forget about jamming, some of them have loose barrels and lose the bolt gap after a couple shots. By the time you fix it, you could have bought a V93 and a nice optic to go with it.

Sadly - I own one & would have to say "no" UNLESS you like to tinker with things. Had to replace my rollers with oversized ones just to get the bolt gap in the ballpark. It's been flawless since, but it's running on borrowed time considering the other possible failure points...one thing that surprised me is that when I put a 4x Hensoldt on and a bipod, it became decently accurate...for a "parts" rifle.

Don't do it. Get the CETME, in .308 for the same price, instead.

If you want to drive up to Reno with me, you can buy my HK93 after I get it out of storage. Might be a little more than the Century, though.

how much more?

[Sicarius]

hehe. If you have to ask...

i would be interested in buying someones project/fixer c93.

[someR1]

If you can find one cheap, and you don't mind a "project" rifle....go for it

Why did you sell it? From what I saw, it looked spot on, so much so that I felt like tipping.

[Shrubmaster]

And leave it to atlantic to post some HD gun porn!

Fyi, when I googled the vector, it came up with a link to you guys at atlantic, but it was a random page.

Thought about that, mags are cheaper, ammo a bit more.
