I'd buy one if the price was somewhat reasonable and 30 round mags were available at reasonable prices. Before the ban, the good HK rifles, like the HK-91 and 93 were over $1,000.



Those rifles are more in the $1800-2500 range, and are still "banned" because of the Bush 41 import ban, which is still in effect, but which could be lifted with bthe stroke of a pen.

The better analogy is the HK SL-8 http://hkpro.com/sl8.htm which goes (went?) for about $1000 or so, but which was ugly and declawed to make it importable.

Sir...you are correct..

I was actually thinking about that SL8 rifle just a little while ago and wondering if there were going to be high caps available for it.

Furthemore, I think I would buy the semi 45 acp HK carbine if there were more than ten round mags available for it. Like maybe 30 rounders.

Talk about a home defense capable rifle,,man oh man.

Oh, by the way..there are several companies making HK-91 clones for less than a grand.
