    I like HK products. Especially the old school stuff. One way they were telling people to pound sand was to go after the HK94 clone makers and threatening to sue them in order to force them to stop building firearms people want. HK doesn't want to sell HK94's to the American public and doesn't want anyone else to either.
    To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

    Um no... That's Hk saying, "you don't have the rights to make our gun, so stop". That is a completely legitimate business thing, and was in no way pointed at anyone but the makers trying to use Hk's design without licensing. ANY company that you try to copy will do that if they have valid IP on a product that you try to rip off, ANY COMPANY. Vector could have asked for licensing rights, but they didn't, they tried the asking for forgiveness thing first, and it bit them along with GSG, and a couple of other companies. There are those that asked to produce under licensing, and low and behold, Hk let them.

    I don't have any idea of when they're roller lock patents are up, but as soon as they are... there will be a clone a plenty. Actually, they should be up already.....
