I honestly don't mind the thunbhole stock, but the single stack mags are just tragic. I'd be all over one if it accepted standard G36 magazines.

I even liked it in the old mental asylum wallpaper blue color. It was funky and weird.

Same. I actually kinda like the look of the stock. I don’t like it more than a real G36, but it has an appeal. Single stack mags though are horrendous

I will never understand why HK will sell us a MP5 or a 416/417 but not a G36 or UMP. It can't be any cheaper to make these than just taking the stock off a UMP or G36K.

German export laws and American import laws.
Wild_Dingleberries@reddit
I don't think American import laws are the issue. I'm pretty sure it's German export that is the hold up. You can get in SG550s from Switzerland as a 16" pistol by removing the stock.

Considering that the SL8 was produced in 1998, it was during the AWB that had much tighter restrictions on what could be imported into the US. Since then the laws have changed, but HK hasn't changed the production line for no real great reason. Almost certainly a money reason.
_Abe_Froman_SKOC@reddit
AWB was a factor at first, but H&K can sell the SL8 and its variants as sporting rifles all over Europe and Canada. They don’t seem overly concerned with setting up an additional production line just to satisfy the high capacity Americans. That will be solved if/when we get an H&K factory stateside so we can start getting the good stuff.

I know, I have three Sig 553’s. But the HK SP5’s are literally marketed as “Sporting Pistols.” American 922(r) doesn’t apply to pistols/handguns. That’s why this administration was pushing to ban the importation of foreign made “handguns.” It will be easier once they make them here, as they won’t have to worry about German export or 922(r).

Where did you get your Sig 553's?

People always say it's the export laws, but how does Canada get 243s then?
AssaultPlazma@reddit
German government owns the TDP for the G36 and is ultra anal about who they sell it to.
CapsLockIsStuckOn@reddit
They sure had no problems selling to the cartels.
swampfox305@reddit
I just want a 416

The only reason I want one of these is because I am a huge fan of Resident Evil 4.
Then_North_6347@reddit
They want to clearance them out before HK USA gets going and makes g36 variants
Real_men_drive_t34s@reddit
Threaded barrel, and a double stack magazine and I'd be all over it
Wide_Fly7832@reddit
Are the Remington issues people were complaining about resolved ?
inlinefourpower@reddit
I want the grey sl8-1
