Wheeee!
Went to the range last night and picked up my new USC. I also got the aluminum forend rail and vertical foregrip from Knight's. Well, the gun did of course attrect a lot of attention. Stripping it was really easy, two screws out, pull buttstock off, seperate upper from lower, drop out bolt assembly. Then I had to spend a little while wiping off all the preservative that HK puts on at the factory. Lubed it up, reassembled, installed the foregrip, and took it out on the range.
Wow.
I put 100 rnds of 230gr FMJ through it. Very little kick, and supremely accurate. If you see the target through the diopter sights, you hit the target. This was the second time that I have shot one of these, and at 50ft, I was dissapointed whenever I had a group larger than 2 or so inches. On one target, I put 20 rounds through one hole that is about 2.5 inches in diameter. Follow up shots can be done quickly, and I'm sure that they will get better as I learn to control the weapon better.
HK includes a cable lock, a universal "HK Tool" (allen wrench and screwdriver set) and the universal HK sling (I like that a lot!). Only one mag from the factory, though.
On the whole, I love this gun, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a really good pistol caliber carbine.
