Heckler & Koch In great financial need

ATF Form 4473: If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver, not a handgun or long gun. -
From the exerpt:
Translates to:
Sales are up, delivery on sale is down resulting in lower cash flow. Fixed the issue and Q2 will look good.
No reason to think HK is going out of business.Emotional appeal is a marketing tactic and not a foundation for effective argument.

i guess they are trying with the sp5k maybe they need to make it in rifle form but their price point is a tad high i think they need better management to move volumeComment

HKs are not made for the poors. The price is fine, as they have already sold the product. Dealers and distributors have already placed orders.
The problem is filling orders so that they can get paid. They have a production problem and cant get cash. They have had to take 80m euro loans several times.Last edited by ECG_88; 06-05-2019, 11:29 AM.Emotional appeal is a marketing tactic and not a foundation for effective argument.

They could make even MORE money if they gave us peasants a semi mp7...Comment

They need to focus on commercial customers and stop sucking on the governments meat popsicleComment

Agreed. Look what happened to Colt. Focus only on gov contracts and it'll bite em soon. HK has made some really awesome and very desirable firearms that they just don't release to civilians. Not to mention all of their stuff is quite overpriced, not to say that it's poor quality, but you can get similar guns usually for hundreds less.Comment

Lower the price on their over priced guns would be a start.
Their hk415 needs an update.

As stated above, too much catering to govt contracts and not enough civilian sales, also pricing is ridiculous compared to competition.
It's an iPhone elitist campaign I get it but imo it's not worth the upgrade. People keep buying HK and iPhone so I guess its working .Last edited by etwinam; 06-05-2019, 12:50 PM.God, Guns & Integrity. Prioritize your Priorities.Comment

I've heard that as well, but then we get things like the hk416 in the form of the mr556, so is it as simple as just renaming the gun to make it legal to sell to civilians? On the other hand, they could license out some of their designs to US companies like TommyBuilt, who is currently building UMPs and G36s. An mp7 sbr would be very appealing to many.Comment

None of you are reading the Q1 financials, much less the article.
All this BS "they should lower their prices and sell to civilians..."
They are selling to civilians, just not certain models.
WHY WOULD THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES? Their sales are UP. As I have said before, its cashflow and debt that is their problem.

Yes, but by lowering their prices a little and giving us the models people have been wanting for a long time, they could massively increase their sales even more, perhaps enough to justify opening a new factory to keep up with the demand.None of you are reading the Q1 financials, much less the article.

Why we can’t get certain HK models like a MP7.
