H&K G36 civilian photos and details. UPDATED

Hey IRG,

When are you guys getting some Phased Plasma Rifles in the 40watt range?

 

[zupermann]

This is great news, even if it takes a year or two. This would be/is a major philosophical shift for HK, making semi only military look-a-likes available to civvy shooters, as they once did with the HK91/93/84 series.

Hopefully, R.Nichols won't be the sole importers......

sad as it is RNicholls could have had a a CDN specific G36 build for us a long time ago...

Only if HK was willing to violate German firearms export laws.

This has nothing to do with HK "philosophy". Their hands are tied because of silly German laws that prevent sales of "military-style" firearms to civilians (including civilians in export markets). That's why the MR223 uses proprietary parts that are not interchangeable with AR-15 parts (unlike the HK416). I can guarantee that the HK243 will not simply be a semi-auto version of the G36 if it has any hope of being approved for civilian sales by the German authorities. There are significant costs involved in redesigning a gun to make it "civilian-legal" in the eyes of the German authorities.

Those rails are ugly, give me the old school configuation with that sleek rail up top.

As soon as we get the The 12-gauge auto-loader, the .45 long slide with laser sighting and the Uzi 9mm lol. Oh wait we already have those, time to source the plasma rifle

Theyll probably get thrown onto the "never to be touched" pile with the type 81 and the gsg stg44. The rcmp will never allow these to be sold

they are just a civi version of the G36 like the SL8 already was so really why would it not be allowed?

The construction will be vastly different than a G36 internally just like an SL8 as to not be easy to convert to full auto like a real G36

its not a matter of wether or not it would be allowed but how long the rcmp will delay issuing an frt

I agree with you, but it looks like the old hand guards, stocks, and carry handle optics will fit.

Yeah read the model numbers none say G36 they say HK243 for the Germans and US version is HK293.

Yeah I read that as well, was kind of dissapointed but it makes sense being as how the G36 is a class 3 firearm in the US. A different model designation allows for general civilian ownership without the hassle of class 3.

Still pretty cool that a civilian G36 type is coming to market that doesn't require too much modding to bring it in line with the parent , like the SL-8 does.

Well will have tp see how much is tacked on by the importer before I decide,still have seller's remorse for selling my G36C a few years ago might have to pick up a new one

 

[DILLIGAF]

Will tapco make a stock for this ? Im in for sure.

Because companies can be strange at best - also since they have a BOD they will dictate what gets sold or not - sad as it is RNicholls could have had a a CDN specific G36 build for us a long time ago...

But then people might get the idea that RNichols is pro-gun, can't have that.

I know that people here love to hate on R.Nichols (perhaps justifiably so...I've never dealt with them myself) but they are a business like any other. They will sell whatever they can make money on.

Tite tite tite. I gots ta axe tha RL1 to buy me one.

Word to tha mutha f-n street yo.

But too much rail.

Strip club got less rail than that thing.

 

[lycan]

Nice.
It will be on my shopping list.

I'm sorry, but my experience, and that of many others, would indicate that this is simply not the case. I was once unfortunate enough to have regular dealings with them - or attempting to have regular dealings with them.

So what would be an example of R.Nichols arbitrarily withholding a Canada-legal firearm from the market? I'm really curious, cause that would be a rather bizarre thing to do..

 

[Kevin M.]

Cool, interested to see an MSRP.

Chances are that it will be quite expensive though, I am expecting it to be well above the $3,000 range.

Dirt...for the love of God...never change! Tight!

 

[sigboy]

This looks like back in the days when everybody called the SL8 a “modified” G36. The tech boys will need to make new FRTs this time for HK243/HK293 or whatever numbers this will come here under and like before the wonderful people of RN/FH Sports will bring there ...........i don’t really want to get pinked but i say this: they don’t like to do anything for you or deal with civilians . Called them about WARRANTY (main reason our SIGs were way more expensive than south was the lifetime warranty) work and let us know......Cheers
