I thought HK didn't like selling to Civvies? "We civilians don't need that kind of firepower" type BS...

Screw 'em. Let 'em flounder until they figure it out.

They don't, which was my point. If they have a money problem, they need to re-think their position. If not, let the market decide their fate.

Good afternoon.
"I thought HK didn't like selling to Civvies?"

This is off topic, but does anyone remember a .223 semi auto rifle made by HK for the civilian market in the 1980s?

I could be wrong about the manufacturer but I remember it looking like a Gew-43. I can't find anything on it.

I just think it's hard for German companies to adjust to all the different rules in the USA. The fact that it's 50 states and the gun laws are different in each of them. For a while it was pretty easy to buy select fire versions of the MP-9 and stuff. Then it became impossible. The AWB scared a lot of vendors. The Cali AWB did too, as it's the biggest single state.

I like the HK's USP pistols too. But then I like Smith&Wssons and Kimbers and Rugers and Berettas and SIGs and CZ's too. Most of those companies don't make much true military hardward (ie: full auto stuff) so don't even have to think about it.

HK is privately held. This does allow them more independence than public companies. They never signed a consent decree that I am aware of, and haven't put lots of retrofitted parts that Chuckie and Hillary want on all their guns, unlike some of the companies listed above.
