I have seen many of these used lowers for sale in the 100.00 price range. There seems to be an abundant supply of parts to finish the rifle off. Is this a relatively cheap way to get into a NFA FA or am I missing something?
WRONGO !!!!!You're missing the fact that the lower is not the registered part in a full-auto HK rifle.
rite but your SA trigger box used to be a full auto trigger box but was modified for SA use in your PTR$400+ for what ?? Semi-auto lower?? I have a FA housing on my PTR91 actual HK91 piece with HK trigger group that has been clipped and pinned and I only paid $200.00 for, you can buy the whole FA lower surplus for $100.00 on many sites, I have many people ask "Is that fully automatic?" I wish it was! it does look the part anyway! and by the way I was looking at a registered FA lower recently and the asking price was $10,500
WRONGO !!!!!
What the dude is looking at is an UNREGISTERED FA FCG (surplus) will not work in a semi HK without modifying (illegally).
Not all HK MGs are registered reciever MGs. If i had to guess, the majority of FA HKs are registered Sears & host guns or registered triggerpacks & host guns!!!!!!
Triggerpack =lower
I thought he was looking at something like this:
HK G3 Lower Complete Pistol Grip Assembly (Black) Part #HK-1-002-BLACK
Negative,The full-auto trigger pack would need to be disposed of, just like the full-auto trigger components that come with many AK parts kits.
and by the way I was looking at a registered FA lower recently and the asking price was $10,500
Negative,
the SA HKs are designed so that the FA packs wont work in them. No need to toss out those pesky FA packs. Without illeglly modifying something the FA packs dont work in the SA housings!!!

HK NFA Conversions - Machine Gun Price Guide
Both sites talk about the different MG conversions out their for HKs and also significant price changes btw the different conversion options
WTS: MP5A2,MP5SD,MP5K,HK51,JAC HK sear $10.5-16.5K
Registered Sear pack available for 10.5K that's a really good price if someone is in the market for one. Not sure if still available. I guess I just got corrected
You are correct, trigger boxes in the 9x series HKs are all the same, in fact all the stamped steel frame HKs use the same trigger boxes & FA Registered sears (HK 21 & 23 belt feds )I would like to buy one but just can't justify spending that kind of money for even more money to buy more ammo! but it would be nice because I believe I could use it in my PTR91, my 93 and my CETME? correct me if I am wrong.
