Money talks and Bullshit walks.......
HK has NO plans to make a semiauto-only civilian version, regardless of any sunsets that may occurHK likes income and will make a semiauto version if when the AWB dies on the vine !
Just my opinion of course LC !........Stay safe !
I hope you're right. Seems I recall that HK took a big loss on their SL-8 rifle (derived from the G-36) when it didn't sell nearly enough units to make a profit. Could be they don't wanrt the risk again, or the mudgobbing that the anti's are SURE to hurl at any company that begins making "eeevviiillll" AR's again after the Sunset.
However, they DID say that they had "no plans" at this time. They might make some later, if the climate is right. I wish people would stop using weasel words, it's getting positively irritating.
