+1 on getting a 9mm ar instead. I like the hk94 I have and got a good deal on it (and a bunch of mags) but if I were to do it again and I wanted a 9mm carbine it would be the ar.
-
So your options are some what limited.
The nicest option would probably be a real HK 94,however they are usually quite expensive now days.
Several folks have made clones at one time or another. Search for bobcat arms, vector ams, coharie arms. I believe all of them do or have at one time made an hk94/semi-auto mp5 clone of varying quality.
I think american tactical (made in turkey I think) makes a semi sorta clone (said to not be parts compatible)... depends on why you want it as to what to look for. For some lite reading go check out the forums on hkpro.com. Kinda the enos forums for all things hk.
If you could live with a pistol or were willing to do the paperwork for an sbr you might look at http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/viewcategories.asp?idcategory=290

Nice going.

I'll take a look at mine later this evening and see if I can come up with anything...

Remember to factor in 130 bucks for a set of dies (assuming dillion still has them in stock). Or maybe you might get lucky and find someone who still has a set? You will probably also want to use new 10mm brass to form the cases (I never had any luck even with once fired 10mm forming without splitting.)
Not sure what powder you'd use for an un-comped gun? For hunting I'd guess you'd want a fairly heavy bullet maybe a 147gr like an xtp?
In a comp gun I used a hefty charge of either vit n110 or hogdon h110 on top of a magnum large pistol primer with either a 115 or a 124 grain bullet on top.

Any pictures or links to this? (Must have missed it in front sight).

Doug,
I thought of something else to check. How is the underside of your ejector profiled? I have run into problems before with one that is not relieved sufficiently on the underside interfering with the top round in the mag. It can make the mag hard to seat and can cause nose dives.
To check for this take your slide off and insert a full mag. See if the underside of the ejector is pushing on the top round in the mag.

There are 2 ranges in the birmingham area that run uspa type matches. Steel city in hoover (draw and duck is the contact for their match). Steel city runs a large rifle match (sometimes a multi gun) a couple of times a year in months with 5th saturdays).
Hetitage rifle and pistol in argo is the other (just north and east of birmingham, I am the contact for this match) our monthly pistol match includes a 2 stage rifle side match.

If you have to modify the Browning I'd suggest that you call Briley. They did mine back when they were still doing a conversion package on the Brownings. Their work is top notch and the chokes they provided patterened beautifuly.

one day I might shoot mine just for fun... The trigger can be made better google trigger tamer.

The new Birkham SC Workout. Guaranteed to either get your butt in shape, make you dizzy as hell, or make you switch to 9 major.
1. Set the temperature at your range to 109 Degrees.
2. Increase humidity to 32%.
3. Sprint a long COF then immediately turn around and bend over to search for your 32 rounds of new TJ brass laying scattered on the stage mixed in with a bunch 9 and .40.
4. Complete at least three sets.
I'm thinking Production may well by my choice in Divisions for the summer months next year!
32% humidity... poor baby... around here we pray for humidity that low... normal summer match weather here is 98F and 98% humidity. That might be why I went to 9mm major about 5 years ago. Good luck with your exercise regime

The standard A2 stock works fairly well for me (it just happens to fit me correctly.) I have bought several for cheap from folks who were changing them out for collapsible/adjustable models.

I enjoy shooting single stack occasionally. But the prevelence of stages composed solely or largely of 8 round arrays tends to turn all stages into Virginia count and after a while that gets annoying. On occasion that'll cause me to toss the 9mm skinny gun in my bag and shoot that which helps with my enjoyment (though not necessarily with my score
). More often it encourages me to dig my open or limited gun out of the safe and shoot that instead. I realise that everyone is shooting the same stage in their chosen division so it is a fair/equal challenge. I realise that revolver guys have it tougher. But the topic of discussion was, "why don't more people shoot single stack" and for me that is one of the reasons I don't shoot more singlestack. -
They are neat little guns, but it wouldn't be my choice for a. 223 carbine for all the reasons listed above. They can be made to shoot, some years ago I got a chance to shoot one that Clark Custom had done. It had a nice trigger job and either a heavy barrel or some sort of barrel sleve. It would put 5 rounds of good ammo into about 1.5"at 100 yards. Having said that, my bet is that for what it cost to get it to that point you could buy a good ar and have some money left over.
I seem to recall ruger making some changes at some point in the last 5 or 6 years to try to improve the accuracy but I don't have any experience with that.

Any ideas when these will be back in stock?

When Jim built my magazine he bent/reformed the ears at the bottom of the magazine so that it uses a Dawson basepad which is a very nice feature. The magazine fits the magazine gauge exactly with a bare minimum of room to spare.
-
Jim Anglin of Sailors Custom did mine. I could not be happier with it.
-
I built an upper using the adams arms kit specifically to be used with a can... It seems to work well (no jams or issues)it does reduce the crud build up in the reciever for what that's worth. I still prefer the feel of a normal ar though.
-
Hmm I wonder if you could get that glock beta to be less than 171.25mm
-
I just heard back from Meopta on the spacing of the holdover marks from the center of the dot.
At 4x they are as follows:
First Mark 4.58 MOA
Second Mark 7.98 MOA
Third Mark 12.11 MOA
The holdover marks themselves are 1.9 MOA tall.
-
I prefer the old mags for 9mm. They hold 19 (or 21 with the dimples milled out and the egw basepads) For the 170 mag I had jim anglin build me a mag which holds 29 or 30. The nice thing about how jim builds his 170s is that he converts the mag to use a dawson basepad.
-
I sent them an email asking about the dimensions of the reticle but haven't gotten a response. So I took it out and set a target at 100 yards. I then shot groups using the dot and the 3 holdover marks. I then measured the distance between the group fired using the dot and the groups fired using the holdover marks.
The first mark yielded a group 4" high. The second mark formed a group about 7" high. The third mark gave a group about 12" high. It would be great if anyone else could confirm those numbers?
If I run the numbers for a 100 yard zero with a 55gr bullet that looks like the holdover marks would be close to right for 300,400 and 500 yards.

I believe the .223 version is the same thing they were selling branded as "training" ammo. If it is the same stuff I have run several k worth of it through my guns with no issue. It runs somewhere between .75 to 1.25 ish moa out of my various ars.

Not much, but it's something

Well done. As an aside my best classifiers always come when I just shoot and am not anxious about the results...
