Our Assessment:The Century Arms C93 is based on the Heckler & Koch HK93 rifle, which was developed in the 1970s. The HK93 was a civilian variant of the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle, which was developed in the 1950s and was widely used by military and law enforcement agencies around the world. The HK93 was designed to be a semi-automatic rifle for the civilian market and was intended for use as a sporting and recreational firearm. The Century Arms C93 is a modern variant of the HK93 that is manufactured by Century Arms, a firearms company based in the United States. It is not clear when the C93 was first introduced, but it is likely a relatively recent development. The C93 is designed to be a modern sporting rifle for target shooting and recreational use, and it is marketed as a civilian-legal variant of the HK93.

Whether you’re an HK enthusiast or just someone not fully invested in the AK or AR-15 game, this C93 Sporter can comfortably fill the same plinking, hunting, or self-defense roles as other 5.56 semi-auto rifles in its class.  Good Luck!
