Were the 93's banned from importation after 1989, like the 91's?
If so, that may play a big part of it. The fact that they don't take STANAG mags or have a BHO is another.
I'm a fan of the platform, but a lot of the shortcomings in standardization and ergonomics conspire against it when AR's are cheaper and far more widely available.
Mind you, many of the ergonomics and operational issues are shared by my PTR, but for me they can be overlooked due to the facts that: 1. The PTR delivers a much more powerful round, accurately and reliably, and 2. there really isn't a cheaper, more modular, better standardized and more widely available .308 MBR than the G3 platform, as there is in the case of the HK93 vs the AR.
If somebody gave me a screaming deal on a 93 (even a century C93) , however, i'd snap it up, mostly due to the familiarity of the HK platform, and the much lower cost of .223 compared to .308.
