The policy is one of the German government, not HK. There's a law in Germany that states that German gunmakers cannot sell "military-style" semi-auto rifles to civilians (including civilians in other countries). That's the reason why they had to come up with the fugly SL-8 contraption instead of simply selling semi-auto G36's.Claven2 said:

Would have thought there was an argument for non-restricted classification. It uses what appears to be the G36 gas piston system, and the full size G36 is non-restricted. While the fire control parts are AR!5/M16, so are the parts on a number of guns that are non-restricted, so that shouldn't by itself effect the class. Now if appearances have anything to do with it.... well we all know common sense can fly right out the window.
