This question gets asked a lot so I am going to spend some time answering it. Clipped and pinned refers to process of making a full-auto HK lower housing fit on a semi-auto receiver. The shelf welded to the back of the mag well on any semi-auto HK9X series firearm or clone prevents the installation of a full-auto housing or pack. A process known as clipping and pinning can be done to a full-auto housing to give a semi-auto firearm the look of a full-auto. This is purely aesthetic and the gun still fires semi-auto unless a registered sear or pack is installed (current price on these items is about $11,500). To clip a full-auto housing the inside of the housing must be trimmed to fit around the shelf that is welded to semi-auto receivers (I used a Dremel). Then comes the pinning, to do this a pin like the one that holds on the foregrip must be cut and epoxied to the holes in the ears of the full-auto housing to give the look that the pin goes all the way through the pack. Here are some pictures of the differences A non clipped and pinned lower  Clipped and pinned full-auto housing on a semi-auto  Pic of modifications to the full-auto housing

This was a much more understandable explanation than the more technical info at hkpro: www.hkpro.com/hkconversions.htm I own a few H&K's and clones, and still can't figure out what it will take to switch trigger packs/sears around  Black Fox |

Common knowledge easily obtained from a search, or talking to anyone who owns one. Now if you added detailed pictures and directions on how to do the process, that might be worthy. |

That’s not a bad idea, but the main reason for this post is to take care of a question that many of us are tired of answering. Maybe you should write a how to in order to supplement this post. |

I herd the best thing to do is to install a .223 hammer spring for all three calibers and just swap out the ejectors. |

Good stuff. Now here's another one for the H&K experts
I have an O-1 metal frame on my 91, if I want to go with a Pictrogram "Navy" grip frame in plastic, can I use the same trigger pack and selector once the lower housing has been "Clipped and Pinned" or simply put? How I can I tell if my Trigger pack is Compatible with my lower housing/ selector? |

Your pack will not be a problem, but you will need a new selector.

Question
I got a guy that wants to sell me a navy housing and trigger pack for my 94. He says it is all original if I buy this will I be in violation of the law since the trigger pack is for a FA? I don't intend to use the TP but he will not sell it broken up. Thanks |

Get the whole thing and convert the Trigger Pack!! It's simple!! Thed the Trigger Group to Adam Webber (HKForever) and there's tons of folkd that can Covert that trigger pac to fit the shelf in your 94!! Y |

You could do that but if you already have a HK94 pack you will not really gain anything. Depending on the price the guy wants you might want to buy the package and sell the pack.

Anyone know where to buy HK94 upper receivers for HK builds. I have been searching for over a week and can only find HK91/g3 receivers. I would like to build a 9mm HK94 pistol. Anyhelp would be great.

Next time I C&P one I will. Something like this: HK USC To UMP Conversion Guide I also rescind my previous -1 as I thought I was in the HK handgun forum, just realized this is the Armory. |
