    Let's hope not. Maybe it is time for the German government to step in.

    Or for them to restructure and sell at more competitive prices and such, and expand the civilian market.

    Their pistols prices are very competitive now. Most HK hate because of the civilian market is unfounded. They can't expand their lineup - especially the stuff us civilians want, it's not that they don't want to - they simply can't. The German gov't won't let them.

    See above. Bad idea. They need to totally move house to the US and F the German Gov't.

    Sad to hear this. I've always thought of H&K as the BMW of the firearms world. I love their pistols and they make some damn nice rifles as well. I hope they're able to pull out of this before they slam into the ground.

    What is it that civilians want that they "cant have"?

    HK 417? HK sells that with unnoticeable tweaks
    HK416? same including exact same barrel as USMC
    Pistols? them too
    HK G36? it sucks. Eff them
    HK UMP? They are selling German USCs right now it limited numbers
    MP5s? The 80s were a long tine ago

    On the bright side..if HK does go under, they'll probably be a fire sale..I would'nt mind picking up a couple more USPc's for cheap....

    Someone posted on Pro a deal where you can get an MR556 and a VP9 together for $2499. Say you take the PSA sale prices for the VP9, that would put your cost for an MR556 for under $2k. Despite what one "values" them at, they've never been that low (even if you have super special discounts).
