Dean Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I have a: Am180 Mac 10 Ac556 M16a2 (waiting on transfer) Looking for one or two last ones so I can pass on to my son when I'm done. Budget $20-$30k. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorwso Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Personally I would sell the ac556 since you have a m16 and then get a HK sear, that gets you into a completely new line of guns mp5/ possibly beltfed. a hksear plus m16 lower gets you all the conversions you can want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texascbr Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I’m with Taylorwso on this. Sell the mini-14 and spend the extra to add an HK sear. With what you already have adding this will create a very versatile collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPinFL Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hello to all you guys, but HK sears are overrated and too expensive at this time! I would grow up and get a belt fed!. 1919A4 or ANM2. etc, You cam buy a lot of ammo with the price diff. Thats if you like to shoot MGs! Like I do. BP out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmeisser Guy Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I feel you have enough modern guns. How about you go with an MP40 and maybe a nice Sten MKII??? This gives you a small WW2 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 HK sear all the way. I’ve been selling off most of my personal MG’s and bought a sear. In today’s market a sear or M16 offer the most “bang for your buck” Now, if you want something for a cool factor-you could get a Thompson. An American icon, lots of fun, and you can get 22lr conversions for them. When I’m done I’ll hahe the following for my “keeper” guns- Colt NAVY Thompson M1A1 Thompson 1918A2 NESA BAR Swedish K Fleming sear (and lots of hosts) The reality of that list is I could cut it down to one Thompson, the Swedish K and my Fleming....and I just might at some point.

gftiv Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Look into a browning belt fed gun, 1919A4 or 1917 water cooled gun. easy to work on and parts are available. sideplate guns are reasonable with the 1917's seeming to be the lowest priced. 30-06 and be changed easily to 8mm and 308. even 7.62 x54r with some difficulty.

Got Uzi Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 With a sear you could get a belt fed and it would be less expensive to feed-HK23E is 223/556 and you wouldn’t be adding another caliber to your pile. Plus you could buy the parts and make it into a 21e meaning it would be 308....a two for one host. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkg3k Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 As much as I love the BMG (1919a4), I agree with the guys suggesting that you sell the AC556 and get a registered HK sear (Fleming or Qualified). In my opinion, no collection is complete without an M16 (or RDIAS, my preference) and a registered HK sear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guys that still shoot them are the old guys that are sitting on surplus 308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM in La. Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 There’s never one last machine gun.. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner11 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Truer words have not been posted. Just one of those more is better things. Although I like quality and quantity! HK sear may be expensive but it gives you a ton of options. So you are really getting a bunch of different machine gun options / calibers for that hefty price point.

Sempfi1 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 HK sear all the way. As Taylorwso suggested sell the ac556. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm on the same thought as the other guys on selling the AC556. Personally I never liked that format. HK sear definitely would be one to consider. My MP5 is a fun one to shoot.. but the sear would let you to shoot other HK platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhouston8 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 sell the aac and buy a hk sear. beltfeds...while fun and i'm a belty dude too.... they are a headache and unless you know your kids REALLY and specifically would enjoy one I'd pass on that for a hk sear. If I had to pick a few keep until death and pass onto kids guns it would be: M16, UZI, MP5/sear..... done. Lots of flexibility in that set. Kid can add a beltfed if the addiction truly occurs.

rhouston8 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 then sure.... go AK47 to round that out instead. If dad left me a AK47, M16, and Uzi....well....that's pretty frikkin awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoodworth Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 If you want a .308 gun get a bm59 they are still reasonably priced and great guns. Or for a few k more get a beltfed 1919a4. You can go wrong with either. IMHO get a 1919a4 parts are easily avaliable and you can get caliber conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Forget about AK's unless they're 556 or 545. 7.62 x 39 is a handful on a rifle and is best left to beltfeds.! If you want to have fun, get a 1919 or ANM2. These guys that don't like 1919's need to try one. Ammo is cheap compared to gasoline. Sorry for the rant, but thats what I think!

I've owned all of the pre-samples, IMO there's no reason to own any of them other than the MP5. If I were a non-SOT, I'd own a transferable double push pin MP5 over any sear combo. If you want a beltfed, the 1919A4 is the way to go, as mentioned though it is a bit of a pain to lug all that crap out to the range for a quick blast.

Ryo Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I agree with the MP5 statement that it is one of the time to own. However I enjoy shooting MP5-SD and the standard MP5. I lean more towards my standard MP5 in A2 or A3 configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronD Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Get MCR upper for M16, https://youtu.be/93p56OAQROE. Can't go wrong with 1919, ammo is a factor there and so is weight. It doesn't go the range as frequent as the m16 or subgun due to all the crap you have to bring with you. Uzi is good but I prefer MP40, same price for a tube gun. HK sure but hosts and parts aren't cheap and I hate cleaning HK guns, they are like the dirtiest of dirty guns to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircularSquare88 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I can’t understand why someone wouldn’t like a sear. Yeah, it’s pretty pricey but man the potential is damn near limitless. It’s a pretty cool feeling to take the sear out and drop it into a brand new HK and let loose. Buy a Fleming sear and you’ll never regret it. I bought my first Fleming sear that came with an original sp89 that was made into the “k” version and it’s a spectacular weapon. It’s sexy, iconic and just badass.
