Troubled German gunmaker Heckler & Koch takes aim at US for sales
After today, it's all historical.
IS HK the company that won't sell their rifles in the US?

They hate us, refused to make the firearms we wanted when times were good, and now that they are going down, they decide to suddenly not hate us?
Sorry H&K, let me trip the lever and hear that flushing sound.
Guess they didn't make that much suing all the manufactures of the rifles that looked like the MP5 and versions, so now they decide there must be money here? Let them eat the dust on the firearms they wouldn't sell to those of us who shall not be infringed.
OK, so they ARE the douchbags. Reading the article you will realize that they are not changing their douhbag ways. They are STILL not going to sell their rifles here. They are planning on coming out with new models of handguns each year to sell in the US market.

H&K has been positioning themselves for years to be the next Colt, and go out of business.
More evidence of the superiority of open market economics over centralized or nationalized industries. Colt tried to make themselves a de-facto state arsenal in a country with a relatively open market, and now they are paying the price.Originally Posted by mrkalashnikov
But on the positive side, Colt rifles have being blown-out on online distributers for prices in the $850 range.

My same sentiments.

Yeah but I can go to my local gun shop and get M&P flat top carbines with BUIS on them for $599 plus tax. There isn't any magic in a Colt brand AR15 vs. anyone else's. 25 years ago, maybe there was, but now ... pffft!
Yep!
The $599 M&P must be the "sport" model.
I don't think $850 or so is bad for a "mil-spec" AR-15. I gravitate towards PSA and S&W-M&P, but Colt isn't a bad value at their current pricing.
A sporterized Colt M4 clone was like $1200 back in 2004, IIRC.

Here is a Colt M4 with a fancy custom mag-pul furniture set for $808 shipped: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...56+16+30+BNTHT
Thats about $150-200 more than what I could get a similar rifle ("Premium M4") from PSA for.
Quality of the parts should be similar from what I know, but with less likelyhood of a factory fuck-up from Colt. For example I once got an upper from PSA that had an incorrectly installed set of handguards. No biggie, it just seemed really unprofessional.

Hell Funky I can't get an account at PSA. Just won't let me set one up called them and they said
"Try again", I did, it didn't work and they said "Try again" and I didn't.
That was a few months ago, I'll try again now and see what happens. Please hold.........
Ok just tried and it said I already have an account but I don't have a password written down for the site
and I never accessed the site as a member. So I guess I got lost when they were updating their info.
I am in now. Lets see what they have!

Don't you have any grandkids that can help you with the computer?

That would be Krupski.
You got jokes.

How many 30 round magazines can you purchase with that cost difference? That's how I look at it.
