Picked this up from the FFL a few weeks back...gave it a quick wipe down and headed out to the range. Initial performance was not that great...had 5 FTE out of two full mags. I noticed the casing had thick cosmoline on them. Took the rifle home and fully stripped the rifle, right down to the locking rollers. After thoroughly cleaning the rifle (which was caked with thick grease) and lubing it back up, headed back to the range. This sucker ran flawless, no failures what so ever. Love this rifle.

As always, the transaction with Bud's was great with fast shipping. The C93 is a nice rifle. So far no problems loading or ejecting. Overall fit and finish was good. Keep in mind this is a used firearm with some new components. I bought this to shoot not look at and it shoots great. Mine did not come with a bayonet as others have indicated they received. One of the two supplied magazines was pretty banged up on the bottom but seems to load fine. I bought two Pro Mag magazines, model # HEC-A9 (http://www.promagindustries.com/product-p/hec-a9.htm) that work great in this rifle.

My local FFL, Vic, was outstanding as usual. Very fair pricing and a friendly guy who is a shooters friend.

Got the CIA C93 12 months ago.(for got to post this sooner)
Packaging: good box with plenty of padding. the two mags were both wrapped in paper. The knife was property secured and lubed to avoid rust.
The action had minor collection of dust which adhered to the lube. I could have put the box in long term storage without having to worry about applying any protective coating of lubricants.

Took it to the range, for a basic function check. Initially it had some FTE but this was just a matter of getting the parts worn in.
Recoil is very mild.
Stripped it and subjected it to a throughout cleaning and lubrication. Nothing stood out as being wrong....just not worn in yet.
Took it back out to the range. It would go through 2-3 rounds before FTE. Next mag it was 6-7 rounds before FTE.

How to speed up the breaking in period? I borrowed a registered select fire pack from one of the guys. slammed that puppy in there and rock and rolled.

Went through 120 rounds in fullauto, it ran smooth as butter. Probably the quickest, most fun way to break in the rifle, seeing it has a FA bolt.
After that, regardless of trigger-pack, it has been running without issue.
I think I am going to order another one while saving up for a registered triggerpack.
It is easy to control in FA, the steel sites work well.
I shot both brass and steel ammo without any issues.

I love the rollerback action and for $494.00 (on 6/11) it was a great buy, and addition to the HK style firearms collection.
