Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CKxx: Everyone loves to pardon HK and cite "muh German export laws." If that were true, we wouldn't have half the cool guns we have today. All the manufacturers (that care) open a US-based facility. I've said it 1000 times, I wish HK would go bankrupt (again) so the IP could be auctioned to someone that isn't an asshole. HK is a corporation, not a charity. If they thought they could recoup the massive cost of opening a new factory and make more profit than they would by investing the money somewhere else, they would. They aren't choosing to leave money on the table. They are profit driven like everyone else. But this is the US, and people here aren't actually lining up in droves to buy the existing high priced HK products. Building a factory to build a 433 when people are just gonna say "what does this do bettah than muh AR-15" and then buy 5 more ARs isn't a smart investment. Especially for a company that seemingly is always on the bleeding edge of going under again. If FN wasn't selling rifles to the US military, they wouldn't have a big factory over here either. That's being propped up by their massive military contracts. HK doesn't have those here. It not that HK doesn't care, it's that we aren't worth it. That's how capitalism works. I bought my T36 from Tom almost a year after they were available. My serial number was high 2 digits. My replacement after the recall is mid 3 digit. HK isn't opening a factory for that fucking volume. |

HK doesn't need to open a factory to produce the MP7 here - they can just make it in Germany and export it as a semi-auto pistol (exactly like they do with the SP5). An SP7, if you will. I'm really curious how sales of the SP5 have gone for them because that would be a good indicator of potential future German made pistol imports (like an SP7). That being said, certainly (to your point) they're not doing shit unless they're going to make a hefty profit from it, but again, I'm curious about SP5 net revenues. It sure seems like they've sold a shit load of SP5s at $3,000+ for the past several years - I'd like to think they could do the same with an SP7. |

SP5s and SP5ks were flying off the shelves and selling for huge markets in the aftermarket. Now? Finding them at MSRP and sometimes lower is not really that difficult....esp the SP5s. I suspect an SP7 would be much the same. The HK nerds would spend big money on the early guns....and then it would dwindle down to much lower volume. Few folks want a 5.7....even fewer a 4.6. |

The T7P is a lot sleeker and true-er to the HK to my eye, but at 3.5x the projected price (X5.7 is expected at $1k vs T7P at $3.5k), I know where my $ would go.

I truly wonder how fast this first batch will sell. $3500 definitely isn't outlandish for what it is, and there are a million people saying "I'm gonna buy this," but I wonder if it'll truly fly off the shelves or not when it's actually available. Hopefully it'll last long enough for me to get the money together

It is possible that from your vantage point you are grossly underestimating the demand. One dealer will get a lot of pre-production receivers with errors on them but that is it. There is more than enough takers as it sits right now. |

If H&K was selling a MP7/SP7 with HK roll marks for $3,500, that would be one thing for me. I’d be all in from the investment and historical perspective. But for a Tommybuilt, not sure I’d drop $3500 for something that would be just a fun shooter. The PSA alternative at $1000 might just be good enough. |

Don't overlook the fact there are a ton of companies who have made HK clones - all of the roller locks, the ump, the P7, 416's, and tom's products. He is far from alone in the sea of people filling the orders that HK wont. That said, HK needs Tom. Without Tom there wouldn't have been any sales of the SL8 or the USC. Even with Tom making those into what people really wanted, sales suck on the SL8 as evidenced by the blowout prices on them. Tom helps them, they help Tom - no real alarming relationship exists. HK made all new tooling for MP7 mags. That was the lull in the supply chain on them. Either the dies were worn from stamping military orders, or the reports of issues with some of the 20's and 40's are real. I can say that the 40 round mag has been slightly modified. It wasn't an accident they decided to reduce movement when inserted into the grip. |

I will add the SF model is nothing more than the swap of a selector and the lack of the 3rd position pictos on the receiver. A slight modification or replacement of the selector and it will go FA without any other parts required. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nzfly: So, HK Parts bought all the 30 round mags from Arms Unlimited. There were about 1100 mags in total that HKP bought. AU sold them at $35 a mag, HKP is now at $125 for those same mags. There are less than 75 mags remaining. All of the T7P units could be sold today without bothering with a sign up. I am zero percent surprised to hear that HKParts did that. They are such fucking assholes its amazing that some people defend them |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BBOHACH: I don’t think I’ve ever bought parts to a gun before I got it but here I am. First two parts came today and have two Surefire mini2s in jail, one of which will find its home on a T7 hopefully. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/314960/IMG_1241_jpeg-3107385.JPG @BBOHACH Wherrrrre did you get that SF3P?? I need it! I imagine it'll work with a RC2? I only have 100 rounds of 4.6 on hand. Trying to find some mags that aren't from HKParts and I'll pick up a stock from Tom when they're available. Hoping that these being out in the wild will encourage some more ammo and part availability, and hopefully Tom plans on producing magazines. |

Had been on there for months apparently. Was 400 beans so definitely high but worth it to me at this point. |

I saw on another forum post from last year that someone called Surefire directly and was able to order one of a few that were remaining on hand (assuming long gone by now). They were apparently told that an order of 25 or more would be needed to do another run. It might be worth calling Surefire and finding out if any are available or what would be needed to get more, such as organizing a group purchase. |
