GRINNELL, Iowa –-(Ammoland.com)- Brownells is offering HK 417 parts kits disassembled from real German military machineguns – the first time these kits have been available in the United States.
Brownells obtained fewer than 200 of the HK 417 kits, and it is very unlikely more complete kits will be available once these are sold.
The kits are new, but may exhibit some wear marks from the machinegun disassembly process. They are complete except for a lower receiver, bolt and barrel.
In addition to HK 417 parts kits, Brownells has a large quantity of HK 417 factory lower receiver forgings, and plans to finish them into complete receivers, available for sale in 2019.
Also for 2019, Brownells plans to offer bolts and barrels compatible with the HK 417.
“Although HK 417 parts have cropped up from time to time on the US market, they have never been available as a complete assortment, all pulled from one, new firearm,” said Brownells Director of Product Management Paul Levy. “These kits come from new HK 417 machine guns, and are as close to the original gun as most can get. Brownells does have production of lowers, bolts and barrels in the works, and plans to have these out in early 2019.”
The HK 417 Kits include:
- Upper Receiver Assembly – Includes piston bushing, forward assist and ejection port cover
- Charging Handle Assembly
- Handguard & Barrel Nut – Some handguard may be cut for front sight, but no front sight is included, includes retaining bolt & spring

It will become a collectors item like the G model fal that bring 7k and up in good condition. Just because it’s expensive to you doesn’t mean someone else won’t buy it
Again HK, are peopIe supposed to camp out like black Friday at the local gun store for this? I can build anything they can offer in a kit without the price.
Noticed reference in the above text “German military machine guns”.Hadn’t noticed the presence of “German civilian machine guns”. Have I missed something interesting?

So if these are not full auto, why would anybody want to spend almost 4k for a plain jain USED ar15? Am i missing something here or are these full auto compliant like before ban of full autos?
