The HK243 civilian version of the G36 was revealed at IWA 2014 Expo. There will be two version an HK243 S SAR basic and a HK243 S TAR professional. Basic version will come with the standard G36 folding stock and a polymer sight rail with dioptre sight. Professional will come with: Flash hider, modular aluminium handguard with keymod interface on 3 and 9 o'clock, low aluminium sight rail with integrated folding dioptre sight, length adjustable and folding buttstock with adjustable cheek rest (G36 KSK), extended bolt catch. You can convert them from basic to professional or customize it with the many available accessories such as different rails including optic rails (G36), stocks and AR mag well. Both black and RAL8000 sand colours will be available.
If anyone is curious about the naming of the HK243 and the to be released USA version the HK293, it's a reference to the two older civilian HK rifles. The HK43 was the European and the HK93 was the USA version of a civilian G3 rifle. By HK internal coding system the last digit "3" denotes a 5.56mm caliber rifle. The first digit "4" denotes a "semi auto rifle" and the "9" a "semi auto rifle built to BATF requirements". These two new G36 civilian rifles take on the historical names and add a "2" as the first digit to denote a new version.
They are already listed on H&K website: http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/sport/products/rifles/hk243/hk243-s-sar/overview.html
UPDATE:
MSRP pricing in Germany is 1730 EUR for SAR Basic and 2290 EUR for TAR Professional. However German pricing includes a VAT tax that is 19% that is not applied to exports. If you subtract the tax and convert to CAD its $2200 for Basic and $3000 for Professional.
