Welcome everyone to the 90th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

In our last edition, our poll showed that you, the readers, by the narrowest of margins deemed the woody AR-15 to be fudd crap.  

HGFC – Is this AR-15 Regal or Ruined — Poll Results

At this time, the original auction has ended with a final bid of $1,511.  Sadly this wasn’t enough though to meet the seller’s reserve, but the rifle has been relisted by the seller.  We can only hope it finds its way to a new home soon. 

In this week’s edition of HGFC, we look at a rare T&E only HK94. As is tradition, this collectible German gat is currently up for sale on GunBroker for $5,025 Current Bid or $20,000 Buy It Now.

First things first, I love roller delayed blowback guns, and then topping it off with something like this Aimpoint 5000 is just icing on the cake.  If this isn’t pure ’80s-’90s nostalgia, I don’t know what is.

The weird elephant in the room (and maybe some think it’s cool) is the barrel shroud.  It certainly looks better than a long exposed pencil barrel, but to me, it looks like an oversized cheese grater.

It’s hard to find things I don’t like about this platform, but the missing paddle mag release is a bit of a bummer.  This isn’t going to be a deal-breaker for whoever buys this gun, but it’s certainly a feature I really wish it had.

So is this the ultimate HK collectors gun or just something only your local HK fanboy would appreciate?  With a price tag above $5,000 it’s certainly desirable, but is it worth it for that price?  As always I leave it up to you, the reader, to decide.
