Nah, if it were an ad, I would have ended it with the phrase, ".... and I think you all should buy one!"

Sunny Surprise from Sunny-Hill
Any company that's worth it's salt takes ownership for their products, and that's exactly what they've done with my 9mm carbine. I do want to say a 2 year waranty was good news. I contacted Sunny-Hill direct last week while they were on vacation, and they did respond today about the firing pin on the 9mm carbine needing to be replaced. That being said, the Sunny-Hill company needs a break here, and I am offering a recomendation, despite the firing pin issue. I hope we soon see a catalogue of additional products.

Sunny Hill follow up
I'm the guy that had an issue, and Sunny Hill has the KBB 9mm now. They sure have communicated alot with me personally to service the gun. I'm looking forward to getting it back, and having another test run. As I mentioned before, the first full magazine was great.

I bought one from them recently.
Put 200 rnds through it so far.
No problems at all. A little more accurate than most other 9mm carbines (hi point, etc).
Nice value for the money. Little heavy trigger but hopefully will smoothen with use (or I may smoothen it myself).
Only thing is, if there is a round in the chamber (one of my lead reloads) , pulling the bolt may not extract it sometimes, got to fire it out and then the brass extracts fine automatically.
Very well made. Love the receiver and the bolt /firing pin assembly. love the rail on the receiver. Quality stuff.
Great design idea: Can strip it without tools.
Much much betterquality parts than say a hi point or a keltec.
Oh: no slidelock: they did that to cut costs. But mags drop free.
Happy I bought it.
Recommend it.

A 9mm carbine that I can recomend is Ket-tec sub 2000, took mine to the range saturday and ran 300 round through it with out a mishap. easy to sight in and was getting nice groups at 75 yds (fist) and hand sized groups at 100 yds. My 12 year old son did very well with it, minimal recoil, and was able to get excellent groups. I may look into a low power sight for it. also regret using the cheap walmart ammo( blazer brass) if we ever get back to a ammo rich inviroment I'd like to try some quality loads. $300 well spent

The KT is also a good looking weapon
DMCKEAN44,
Thank you. I had no idea that such a problem/solution existed. I'd seen some bushmasters with a fixed magazine, where you actually opened the upper receiver as if it were just a top cover, and loaded rounds into to the rifle individually or from stripper clips. I thought that was bad enough. I wonder what possible rationale they could have for the pistol grip/thumbhole business... (I probably just answered my own question - there isn't any reasoning going on, period.
I'm sorry to hear that this is what some of our fellow Americans have to deal with.
I was originally going to make some joke aimed at the gun banners about these stocks being the shoulder things that go up (though patently NOT a barrel shroud)...
I had no idea it was in reality the result of some silly regulation. :banghead:

For S. Hill. Any chance you could make that critter in 10mm and take Glock mags ? I would buy two of them.
I fired the keltec 9mm with glock mags that a range buddy had the same day I fired my sunny hill. So I could do a comparison of fit anf finish etc. THe keltec is good for what it is: a cheap truck gun with a lot of plastic and poor finish (but good functionality).
The sunny hill is a totally different firearm in a different league altogether in terms of quality, fit and finish.
IMHO, keltec 2000s at $299 are a good deal, but at current rates of $400 plus are overpriced. THe sunny hill is fairly priced and actually quite economical, when you look at its fit and finish and quality.
Oh, and I am not a snob. I like the hipoint 9mms I have shot too. They are good value but again nowhere in the same league as the sunny hill carbine.
