edited because I didn’t realize the name had been chosen. These look great. I look forward to owning one.

FYI this appears to be a standard 21, not a 21k.

Otte has all the spare parts and has great customer service. The spare parts are a non-issue. Buy your lifetime supply of spare parts now- boltheads, locking pieces, barrels, recoil springs, ejector springs, bolt locking springs…

In my case I belong to a club with multiple long distance ranges. One with steel starting at 500 and going out to a mile. One with steel from 100 to 1270. And one with steel at known distance out to 1100. It’s a MG friendly range and absolutely glorious.

I agree with some of what you said, disagree on a couple points. First, in my opinion the 23E is the pinnacle of HK sear hosts/MGs. I absolutely love mine. Second, 100-200 yards is absolutely fine for 5.56. I’ve shot my 23E out to 500 yards and it’s fun. At 200 yards it’s great fun to drop 2-4 round bursts onto steel. Third, the 21E in 308 is also fantastic, though a bit of a rougher ride. That said I can make 2-3 round bursts hit onto steel at 200 yards off hand and am even better off the tripod. The 21E is absolutely worth owning, though for a little more than the cost of the 21E conversion parts, one can buy a 21 host built using the FMP parts kits that were recently imported. Mike/MM has a great reputation and has piles of spare parts. He’s also easy to get ahold of and provides outstanding customer service. @NickFromAK you should pick up an HK sear if you can. The mp5 is hands down my favorite SMG to shoot. And then you can use it in your mm23E.

Spot on. It’s unfortunate how the brace lawsuit was done after ATF ruled braces to be stocks. Adding that number of SBRs to the registry defacto made SBRs in common use, which could have been used to sue to remove SBRs from the purview of the NFA. Instead, brace manufacturers sued to keep braces legal on pistols, because $$. Every single owner of a brace equipped pistol is using it as an SBR. We all know this. It’s a silly loophole. Instead of suing the government to remove SBRs from the NFA, we get pistol braces.

Probably a push to get everyone to register SBRs now that stamps are $0. I bet we see them announce that they will go after FRTs not made by Rare Breed too.

yep. There have been a large number of “factory” Colt m16s sold at a significant premium by a few very well regarded dealers and the guns are absolutely not in their factory configuration. Also plenty of obfuscation of RR HKs purposely not showing if it’s a pushpin or shelf RR.

Good news, glad to hear it worked out in the end.

It is sold pending funds to @AJSKY.

My thoughts exactly. The buyer didn’t really understand what he was buying and the seller didn’t really know what he was selling, especially since he seemed to shoot it with a Lage Suomi upper. I’d call it a no fault transaction. And I’d be willing to bet the photos showed it was a Sten mag conversion.@Clear do you still have photos from the listing?

I completely agree. If the seller had no idea and the buyer had no idea, I’d put both parties at fault. Split the cost and drive on. I assume This is the gun in question. It’s too bad the photos are no longer up. If that’s the gun, it was a deal. The seller was using a Lage Suomi upper so he likely had no idea the magwell on the lower was a sten.
