This thread is not about your HK favorites.
If you want an HK thread go start one of your own.

For one I don't know these guys from Jack. Two It's a gun rag and An online gun rag at that, and Should therefore be taken lightly.

But some forum members do personally know the guy[s] interviewed. They haven't yet said to take the information in the article/interview lightly.

These guy are employed by HnK you think they'll have something good to say about that pistol?

They seem like rather reputable well experienced guys, who have worked in or with the military quite a number of years.
You saying they would strongly recommend a HK45 over a 1911 [for reliability] if they didn't really mean it?, considering soldiers lives would be at risk.
I'm saying they work for the company they represent and they would not say anything bad about the company or the weapon. Try it one time and see how long you keep your job.
Also, You have no clue what I do or who I do work for. Again you just quote the web site. Which is nothing more then things I want to general public to.

Well Im only going by how you choose to represent yourself on your website. If your now saying its vague or deceptive, then I guess your correct when you say one must take some of what one reads on the net with a grain of salt.
Agreed
A person in the military can't take there personal weapons to the unit armor. It does happen but it's outside of regulations.
So yes I did in fact work on a solider's rifle. A soldier that is in a Spec ops unit.
Thing is what you need to realize is that a Unit armor might have vast amounts of experience on the rifles they work on BUT NOTHING MORE.


So I gather you have no experience working on any Spec Ops groups weapons/firearms.
The civilian owned stuff thats it. Now I did just complete a two rifle civilan version M4 build If that counts

They will not be able to tell you which way to stack the gas rings on a Browning A5 to go from target to magnum loads.
They will not be trained to weld on a bolt handle, Machine scope bases from solid, Tig weld pits in a receiver, Fit a recoil pad, Blue a rifle, Anodize an aluminum part, Reassemble a rifle brought in in a bag, or Design and fabricate anything a customer asks for.
All of which I can and have done for paying customers.

Your saying the smiths/developmental/experimental techies that Spec Ops groups have access to are not capable of such work or other specialised work required? What I'm saying is they are specifically forbidden from working on anything other then what they are allowed to work on. You seem to think these guy are gods gift or something to the Gun building world. Well maybe a salty old Chief Or Gunnery Sargent that's been doing this stuff for close to twenty years But not someone fresh out of armors school. And to be clear They would be fully capable of any of the tasks I listed if the had the training and experience which they do not. It's not fault of their own. It's how the military works. Go talk to the real people that do this stuff day in day out. They'll let you know just how strict the policies and procedure are. You see they design the procedure so that any dumb grunt with a basic amout of skill and training can do it. That is why it's so restrictive. Now Go back pick this apart again into eighteen differnt points I'm done arguing I should have left you on ignore which is where you are now. It is mentally exhausting


I placed the Non gunsmith label on myself due to California's laws and the Federal Law as well.
The FFL is coming though. I just need to have a meeting with my city's Planning Dept.
The city I live in frowns on in home workshops.

Now I'm going Back to Mexico for some overtime
Good luck
