HK 416 Thread

[Slippers]

I want this so bad I can taste it!

I'll be very surprised if these ever touch US soil.

After talking to the HK guys at Shot I wouldn’t hold my breath. Basically if, and it’s a very big If, the German military picks it up then they ‘might’ consider a US variant. However it’s also going against the 416 which has an excellent track record. Most likely the 433 doesn’t win the contract and it never becomes a full production firearm.

Interesting, I was under the impression that the HK416 wasn't viable as a service rifle due to cost. Would be a shame if the HK433 never takes off, it seems like a modernized ACR (which sounds weird even to me, given how it's only slightly over a decade since Magpul licenced it to Bushmaster).

I figured this would be correct. When I heard the HK 243 imports were dead, I knew this had no chance.

Personally, I'd settle for a G28.
