C93 forearm question

Postby Allme » Wed Feb 23, 2011 12:33 am

I have a C93 and don't care too much for the wide forearm, RTG is selling G3 narrow forearms for $7.50 or so. My question is will this fit my c93 and if so how much modding will I have to do? I don't mind a little time with a dremel but I don't want to have to rebuild it to fit. Another thing is I have a V53 that I would like to do the same thing to but the forearms are completely different, anyone have any suggestions on where I can find one for it? Any thoughts or suggestions are appriciated. Thanks.

The G3 forearm will not fit the C93, it is too long. I have never seen any forearms for the HK93 that were the "slimline" style, only early G3s had then and HK switched over to the wide forearms for all models. Here is a link to a lot of different 53 and 93 forearms http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK-93-HK ... m-c168.htm hope it helps.

There were slimline forearms made specifically for the HK93/33 line in the 70's and 80's but production has since stopped. From time to time you will find a few floating around on GB or the PRO site but it isn't often and they are pricy due to their rarity.

Here is a link to a modded G3 style: http://www.ar15.com/mobile/topic.html?b=6&f=9&t=335783 you could give it a try if you are a tinkerer. (If the link above doesn't show just do a google search for HK93 slimline and you will find the link among others)

FYI, there is a wood one made by RDTS on the HKPRO site that is $70 if you are interested in that.

Sbrit: Thanks for the info and the link, very informative. I think I'll pick up a few from http://www.robertrtg.com/g3fmphandguard.html they are only $7.50 each and if I screw one up it isn't that big of a deal.


Thanks again :D
