Is this a good deal on an H&K?

[benenglish]

I figure many of us got this ad in our email today:

I seem to remember these things being *much* more expensive in the distant past. Also, somewhere around the house I have an article on how to convert these things to be cosmetically identical to the UMP. I am a huge fan of the UMP.

So, before I start another crazy project, is this a good deal? Or is there a "gotcha" lurking in this ad?

TIA for the benefit of your experiences.

Deal and HK just doesn't seems to fit together lol

For the superior product you get with an HK, they're all a great deal.


...and yeah benenglish, that's not a bad deal at all. There are also people out there who can convert this to an "UMP" for you if you really want to have it done. The UMP conversions usually sell for $2,500-$3,300 -ish.

That's average for a USC.

just glad to find this post again... PM'd Ben when i couldn't find the "hiding post" .. i looked at J&G out of Prescott.. major advertiser in SGN.. they didn't have the 45 but close to 45% less $ on the HK 9 , so yeah thinking the same thing as others.. nothing special here..

Weren't there some issues with the USC? I'd do some research before I jumped on that. Some of the civilian HK's have not gone out of their way to justify their price tag.

It is a little high, but they are hard to find.

Mine was $1100 a few years ago.

USC -> UMP is a fun conversion, but these days it is expensive. At the end of the day it is still a 45 ACP.

For the same price you can get a Kriss Vector Carbine in .45 ACP that uses easy to find Glock magazines.

You should get a pair of them Ben.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

It's pretty much the going rate, IF you can find them.......

 

[Sugar Land]

See if we can get a deal on 3 of them....lol

True but the H&K is no longer in production so makes it a possible rare piece to own.

Don't want to drift form OP, but if this has got me laughing big time..

That price is par for the course. You see em' on gunbroker for around the same price pretty often. I thought about getting one a while back but ended up with a Steyr AUG instead.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I have a real love for the UMP so the prospect of buying one of these and swapping parts to create a civilianized version appeals to me.

However, it probably doesn't appeal enough for me to actually make the purchase...especially with the SIG MPX on the horizon.

If you get an MPX, I will need to shoot it. Not want, but need.

I shot the mpx at shot show, it was ok.

The HK-USC would be nice. That's not a great price, but it's probably not going to be found much less expensive, if at all.

Find a used marlin Camp 45 and spend the rest on ammo. Too bad there aren't very many production .45 carbines out there. If High point made one that'd be cool even.
