At Enforce Tac, H&K has introduced two new weapons. The HK237 is a .300 Blk/Whisper variant of the G36 and the HK337 is a .300 Blk/Whisper version of the HK416. Unfortunately, both are currently only intended for military and police markets and offered as full auto weapons, but the .300 cartridge is picking up steam here in Europe. Perhaps we’ll see civilian versions yet.
Below is a photo of the HK237 which is kept under glass with bright lights shining on it to deter photography. You’ll note the folding stock which features a cutout to allow firing while wearing a ballistic visor. Both rifles incorporate 9″ barrels.
When I asked about a .300 version of the recently introduced H433, I was told it was in the works.

I’m sure a company of H&K’s caliber did rigorous testing but I’m trying to imagine firing the rifle wearing a riot visor and utilizing the cut out stock, and everything I’m picturing is pretty awkward. Do you think they made that stock to meet some governmental request for proposals?
The cheekpiece is removable, that way if they aren’t using the ballistic visors they can have a good position while aiming, if the threat level (or SOP) dictates to use the helmets with ballistic visors then is as simple as detaching that piece.

Here’s what it looks like when shouldered with a visor:
