I bet if they started spitting out MR556's in the $1k to 1,200 range and started selling semi-auto G36's and UMP's in the US, they would start making some money. At $1,200, the MR556 makes quite a bit of sense. It's a nice rifle, but not a $3,000 nice rifle...
The dummies nixed sales to Israel because the company objected to Israel's stance on the Palestinian Question.
I bet that they regret that decision now.
I own a lot of Hks.
Now, price point drives sales. If a HK sold a DI carbine at 12-15 and a piston rifle at 2k. Fix what people want, a real rail on a USP, better triggers and 30 dollar magazine, they would sell a hell of a lot of guns. But I am just some dude taking a crap giving my $.02
HK HAS ALWAYS HATED ME

That was the German Govt.
HK has been in trouble for years just like Colt. Both were bought out by companies that bled them for cash. HK has a double whammy because the German Govt hates arms sales and considers HK a necessary evil for supplying its own forces the German Govt has done the same thing to SIG.
Who ? SIG ? While it is true SIG has a small optics production facility in OR, mostly staffed by former Leupold personnel, most of their optics are made in Asia. They are also moving production of guns like the X5 and P210 that used to be made in Germany due to export restrictions by the German Govt.
SIG is making one of the scopes for the HK DMR (the other is an S&B) but HK is going to be making 417/MR762 rifles in GA. It’s not an accident HKs GA facility is right outside Ft. Benning.
