The creature from the AWB lagoon. A recent video, below, released by H&K (no words, just some glamour footage of an SL8-6) and some insider info suggests that H&K is bringing back one of my video game love affairs, godawful unfomcortable thumbhole stock and all.

Your thoughts, gentlemen and degenerates?

Discussion on HKPro HERE

Overpriced rifle with import features nobody wants, hard pass. It's not 2001 anymore.

US-manufactured rifle, maybe some interest, but they're way late to the game. Not as many people interested in dropping big bux on a 16" 5.56 rifle anymore when there are some great designs for half what an HK runs.

I'm going to see this 10 years later and see insane 10k resale values on geninuine SL8s aren't I?

If they want to cater to the collector fanbois that's their prerogative. More likely we'll see these guns in CDNN in 9 months because no one wants a thumbhole stock 10rnd .223 in 2021.

When I need a prop for my low budget sci fi film I'll use these

It's like the usc/ump, people buy these to convert to a g36. I'm betting Tommy built tactical will see a lot of new work

Now let's see them bring back the P7 line.
With as much as those are selling for now, it would be ludicrous not to. I don't see why they couldn't reverse engineer them and create all new dies.

Nope, never. (But if they do, take my money!)
This is HK. They'll probably bring this POS back next:
