To answer your original question, the HK91 is an almost indestructible battle rifle. It is completely reliable, very durable, reasonably accurate. But the accuracy is limited (in my opinion and experience) by the marginal triggers and sights. But it will fire pretty much any .308/7.62X51 round that you can chamber in it which is a big plus. But original HK's are spendy, and the quality of the copies is questionable. And the ergonomics of the HK91 are crap.I am looking to buy a semi auto .308, I am looking at an HK 91 style or a FN-FAL. I would like some input on the two rifles. I know they will each have their pros and cons, just tell me what you think of each. Thanks
The M14 sights are the best sights ever put on a battle rifle. No scope needed. It was designed to be a rifleman's rifle.I've been looking at the cetme and HK's for a while. I'm planning to get one eventually. They are battle-tested and seem to hold up well. I wouldn't get one to snipe with, but they seem to do well enough at long range. The m1a would be better if you plan to scope it. I own none of the above, but have handled them all in shops and have read enough to feel confident in my comments...
Jesus Matt *whistling*, when they won't even tell you the price after three pages of writing I am BETTING Dollars to Doughnuts that you can BUILD one for a 1/3rd of what they are going to charge you for that "thing".
I am sure it's a solid piece of kit, but for what is going to amount as a healthy down payment on tuition for one of the Little Ones, it damn well BETTER BE.... LOL

There are zero California legal semi auto, magazine fed rifles chambered in 7.62x51 available that I can still legally use high capacity magazines for. Even those that come remotely close won't make accurate shots out to and past 800 meters.There is no question that money does talk, but there is a point where you are reinventing the wheel, for the sake of doing it.
I'm just saying, for that kind of money, we are talking a lot of platforms out there that will do the same thing.
If you have your heart set on it, then I say go for it, you only go around once in life and you should be happy with your choices.
But, after 3 pages of write up, for them not to even QUOTE a price without sending them an e-mail?If they are THAT proud of it, they would let you know up front what it costs, now they have nothing in print and can change the price at any time they feel like it.
I would double check that price since the recent inflation value of all "military" rifles with the ban pending.
I hope you get exactly what you want and it performs as advertised, or better, for you.

EDIT: And as an after thought - I owned ZERO Nighthawks until I met the people from Nighthawk at SHOT, talked to them, understood where they came from and what they were trying to accomplish with their company. In addition, I played with 6 pistols that day at the booth, and the two I thought for SURE I wanted to buy, weren't any of the three I ended up with....
Can he/will he get Cali spec'ed pieces?1) That is a hell of a nice piece, I have checked it out myself.
If you are going to buy one, contact my friend [email protected]
Best prices on the market for the Nighthawk. Trust me on this. George is a great guy and will treat you right.

George can get anything Nighthawk has, and a few other makers as well - and he is a dealer, but he sells for very little over his price because he moves units to keep his Class III active. It pays for his own personal "habits"Can he/will he get Cali spec'ed pieces?
