Polymer80 – SubCompact Frame
Wednesday, March 21st, 2018During my recent visit to the IWA Outdoor Classics in Germany I ran into Polymer80 in the Brownells booth. Imagine seeing them in Europe, considering our perception of their gun laws.
I hadn’t talked to them in awhile, so they showed me their new 80% Sub-Compact Frame.
The PF940SC will allow you to build a G26-style pistol.
HK416A7
Thursday, March 15th, 2018I snapped a couple of photos of the new HK416A7, recently selected for use by the German Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK) during Enforce Tac.
It offers ambi controls as well as a new grip which accepts inserts for different palm swells.
It’s in RAL8000 color and will be issued with the new HK Gen3 Polymer Magazine.
Finally, here’s an image of the muzzle device.
HK433 Ver 4 in RAL8000
Thursday, March 15th, 2018During last week’s Enforce Tac, Heckler & Koch gave us a sneak peek at the latest Version 4 of the HK433 in their RAL8000 color which is a Tan variant.
You’ll notice that the different materials have a slightly different shade. This is because the coloration formulations are different for each material and are absorbed and reflect differently. At least for now, H&K isn’t going to work to match the shades precisely.
As you can see, the HK433 offers both HK416 and G36 style ambidextrous controls. It also has a two position gas port for use with or without a suppressor.
The folding stock is adjustable for comb height along with length of pull, and the weapon will function with the stock folded.
The HK433 is currently competing with a carbine produced by Haenel, one of which will replace the G36 in the German Army.
Based on this competition there are still a couple of changes in store for the HK433’s Version 5. The Charging Hane will be moved a bit more to the rear because the current location can get in the way of accessories like flashlights. Additionally, the charging handle is reversible from left to right by the shooter, but H&K is going to make it just a little more difficult to do to avoid inadvertent removal.
The HK433 will be offered with the new Gen3 Polymer Magazine we showed you last week.
