Obligatory Friday gun pr0n!
HK-USA made the following post after the 2005 SHOT show. It is quite disheartening for those that would like to partake in centerfire HK goodness.
HK affinity websites and chat rooms, as well as many consumers and dealers expressed their dismay of the change in venue at S.H.O.T. Show. Many expressed concerns over the lack of new products, especially long guns, since the sunset of the Assault Rifle ban. There has been considerable hue and cry for bringing back the HK91, HK93, etc. There was tremendous expectation and assumption that HK would immediately begin entry into the marketplace.
The fact is, the engineering prowess and the machinery for HK long gun product sold 20+ years ago no longer exist, or represent considerable investment and risk in an increasingly uncertain and competitive firearms market. Couple this with costly legal challenges from competitors, and a dollar worth 30% less than the Euro and it is plain that HKI would face considerable challenges to re-enter the centerfire semi auto market. So there is no correlation between the division of the two HK companies and the lack of products to address the post-ban marketplace.
So much for the semi-auto G36 I wanted. *sniff sniff*
