H&K USC

[dZ]

so i am leafing thru American Rifleman and i see the USC:

Now i have 3rd degree gun lust...

Please tell me that its an innacurate, worthless piece of machinery so i can keep from buying one

i even like the thumbhole stock
so you know i have it bad! http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/Pages/civil_rifle.html#Anchor-USC-49425

here a review of the military version: http://www.remtek.com/arms/hk/mil/ump/ump45.htm

looks like they are $1100 to $1500 http://www.gunsamerica.com/search.cgi?complex=1&custom=&keys=USC&category=1660

Not too bad. Two gripes: it can only accept a 10rnd mag and that friggen thumbhole stock.

HK has recently recalled some/all USCs and I think some/all UMPs as well. You can look at that a couple of different ways though: first, they put out a product before fully testing it, or that when a problem was discovered, they immediately took action to resolve it.

A good deal for $800, but a litte too little for $1200+.

10 rounds is the fact of civilian life so i can deal with that.
Can you imagine a 45 cal beta c on this puppy?

the UMPs are only 25 round stick mags http://www.unsuave.com/~hkpro/ump.htm


i wonder if the will ever be 10 american parts for these?
heres the tear down: http://www.unsuave.com/~hkpro/umpstrip.jpg

i also wonder if the planned Colt purchase of HK will make all HK rifles unavailable to non LEO's (in which case i should buy one NOW)

I hate to disappoint you, but my friend bought one at the end of last year to beat the facist KA AW ban.

It's a great shooter. Very accurate, minimum recoil. Wish I had one. What more can I say?
