I think you are right Las Vegas HK that it will be harder to sell a HK today, because more people will buy a Vector V93 for $1,100 instead of a HK93 for $2,200. But there will always be the HK collector who wants the real thing.
That said if I ever get into HK NFA weapons I think I will buy HK clones to make into SBRs to operate auto sears. I just can not bring myself to cut up a factory HK.

If I had all the correct answers, I would be a rich person! You bring up a good point about the FAL's.
My hunch is, right now people are buying H&K clones at a much higher rate. The simple reason is, H&K clones appeal to average people who don't want to spent or can't afford to spend on the German originals.
Keep in mind, I own both H&K clones and German H&K's, I don't really want my German H&K to go down in price, but I have to be realistic too.
JDL produces a great 99.9% HK91 at almost half the cost! Vector produces a 95% HK93/53 at half the cost. SW/BC also produce 90% MP5 at a third the cost!
Even at these reduced clone prices, we are still looking at $1000+.
Ask yourself, how many people can afford German HK 9x rifles at $1800 to $4000?!
If someone, ORF?, can produce a 99.9% MP5, just wait and see where the price of German HK94's go.
