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.

Verbage in Corporate world is self cleansing these days. Anything they say do or get caught at can be spun. HK is just following suit to prevent such fiascos as suits worried about being sued.....by a person named sue...{:o)IMO.

I gotta tell ya , for me all HK products are butt ugly, and too expensive . I made a couple of investment buys of MP5 series NFA toys and made good money on em. Aside from the HK21 series and the P9S in 45ACP I have never had a "desire" to use or possess one.

HK these days will have to appeal to the homeowner, rancher, farmer, housewife and hunter sect to make a product sell. The new 6.8MM is a fine medium to work with IMHO for an all purpose round for a general purpose rifle for self defense or up to Elk size game . I took my first 4 elk with a .243 so it can be done easily.

Stay Safe LC.....
