The entire rifle will probably never happen. Unfortunately the August date was hearsay from someone else at the show. The day after I posted those pics I went and spoke with the HK guys (real nice guys) and they told me that HK is looking for a way to import the uppers for civies but they need to find a US manufacture for the barrels due to the recently imposed barrel ban. Apparently HK has noticed how well the Sig and FN rifles are being received by us consumers.
