Look at this brochure, its from the HK JS site go to page 11 with the Mark 23, it may just be me but it looks like the front sight has been installed backwards.

That's the proper set-up for the front sight when you load your magazines backwards. :20000000:

Looks right to me. I took a look at some pics on HKPro and some of the ones forsale and they all look like the one in the catalog.

its backwards compared to my Mk23....the white dot on the front sight faces me

Whoops, got me there then. I've only held a MK23 once. Is someone messing around with the Photoshop at HK PR or what???

Looks like the USA gets it right, Germans screwed it up?

No, gentleman, that is KORREKT! Owwwwww, my eye!!!

 

[Paletiger13]

No wonder they wont make civi-rifles. Cause they are ass backwards.

You mean back asswards!

 

[MueveloNYC]

actually I think it's correct. I think the angle of the photo is what's creating the impression. Remember the Mark23 sights are a little loftier so that there's clearance over the supressor.

 

[Paletiger13]

lol

Still back asswards, lol. Love em' but they gotta cater to us honest, hard workin' folks. Its very sad.

I don't think HK actually takes the pics, could be the photo agency doing them broke the 1st front sight and got a replacement and some intern got stuck installing the new one? who knows, or some photoshop joke by another disgruntled intern? Don't be so hard on HK.... be glad we even have them imho

 

[Big Bore]

Who knows what is going on at corporate these days? I saw this web-site a few weeks ago and though that either they had been hacked and a particular photo had been inserted or a disgruntled employee put it up, but seeing it is still up makes me wonder that it is put in there on purpose.
Go to Euro-Optics web sight and look at their changing pictures of their products on their home page. Give it a few minutes to change pictures because there are 4 pictures in the series. Three are of their products, but the 4th, OH MY!!!!

 

[Hawk777]

Owned!

 

[Ghostrider]

Big Bore : Good catch! *LOL!*

Let's hope it's an in-house joke, but yah... somebody is getting a kick out of that one.

 

[MueveloNYC]

marketing and photos is probably outsourced, like everything else these days... Got lead paint?

 

[AGG]

Joke or not, it still reflects upon HK! Probably correct, tiger888- independent contractor doing photos. But if you are going to do something, do it right, even if you have to do it yourself!

 

[bigghk702]

that looks right to me. but i always focus on the front sight by looking down: the barrel
