    They should flood the market with civilian firearms at non kidney prices, actually provide warranty and readily available parts.

    Geeh, price gouging, lack of warranty support to individuals......sounds just like Colt in early 2000s.

    Springfield also graduated from the same charm school too!
    Canadian government runs on trans, gays and French speaking women. Let them fight the next war over there.

    You have to question the leadership decisions of any company that could be undone by one bad year of sales. HK has likely been in trouble for years but the tide didn't go out until 2018,

    Just a natural next step for a german company, in a country ruled and destroyed by the progressive left..... unfortunately

    They should have started selling to the civilian market years ago, is it too late now? Time will tell.

    Had they open up their market to civilians, the sheer volume wouldve help with price through economy of scale. AND you get to sell more guns too.
    I want you to be pleased with your purchase, so do not hesitate one bit to ask questions before purchase! If we do decide to go forward with payment, I assume that you are satisfied with all info provided before payment. This is a polite as-is disclaimer.

    I ship at least once a week on my day off.

    Not being an expert on German Law, perhaps their next step is to tell the German government where to go and how to get there, and then relocate to a more export friendly part of the world.

    As a H&K MR223 owner, I don't feel its over priced compared to Scar 16, SG550 series, B&T APC, and XCR L, X95 which I think are comparable or in same category.

    As a H&K MR308 owner, I feel like its a good deal compared to XCR-M, Scar 17, or some tricked out M14 EBR thing. And its not over priced compared to POF or LMT.

    I noticed the retail prices in Canada has gone up, but I don't think thats a H&K thing, but a retailer/distributor thing.

    It’s not Just the German Government, it’s USA as well. Don’t kid yourself Germany is still essentially a post war government that is dictating its foreign masters interests for the most part. That explains why in the modern sense that Left Wing parties or ideologies dominate that country.

    As for HK it self. The problems that have taken over that company like Colt USA had little to do with the employees or direction the company was going but the subversive nature of the people that have taken over the company. They used HK as a trust fund and took all the money out of it. When it was sold 15 years ago or longer I forget exactly, they had a surplus of over 50million in hard cash. Not too mention other assists. They also started buying real estate during the boom in the US before the crash. So essentially it’s the owners.

    Besides that most of these comments are whack as usual with Crap thinking. I don’t see people complaining about Swiss Arms prices for example or so many other companies.

    Keep in mind HK took a beating for pushing civilians ownership during the 90’s Assault Weapons ban craze for being pro 2A civilian ownership. A lot of you guys were not around during those years.
