I'm definitely interested in one of these, but at this price it would need to be genuine HK. Even if it were authentically licensed HK, I think their description is misleading. I would still be interested even if this information was disclosed, but not at the $5k price. A GSG9 clone went for ~$2300 a few weeks back (https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1015042297), and I thought that was high. Admittedly though, I don't know much about the collectibility of GSG9 stuff, but it's all cool to me nonetheless.

On a side note, I'm very interested in 37mm and 40mm stuff, so If anyone's looking to offload some things then feel free to hit me up.

So it's likely not a civilian CAPCO production run as well (I would assume that they don't have the capability nor the need to do any further development for a product they have a as-is production contract for).

Hopefully I'm not hijacking the thread here. And, I believe @German doesn't reside in the states, but does anyone know if Capco has produced civilian M320's in the states? Gunbroker turns up nothing other than the GSG9 clone I already mentioned, and someone with a purported authentic HK M320 stock.

Sooo...We've established the launcher is indeed a Kale Kalip KGL40 (37).

The real question is, who went ahead and marked or re-marked these things with spurious HK M320 markings/German proofs and who was all in on it?

Yes, excellent question. A possibility is that they were actually licensed, right? However, it could be more devious as @IronBalaclava suggests. In which case, that is not cool whatsoever.

 

[pyrobob]

A possibility with a probability close to Zero.

So you're telling me there's a chance 🤣!

I'm one of the guys who did get in on the Colt M203 37mm deal that AU worked out (It's been a registered 40mm NFA DD for years), but I really did my homework before committing.

Wow, I would have been interested in this for sure. I'll do some research, but about how long ago was that?

AU has done right by me in the past.....

Me, too.

 

[pyrobob]

About 4-5 years ago. It was a very decent price on an over run of M203 from a cancelled Mexican? contract.

About what did these go for?

 

[pyrobob]

They were only $2K at the time and transferred on a regular 4473 as a Title 1 firearm (receiver) with a smoothbore 37mm barrel.

They go for about 2-3X that on GB when one pops up for sale. Before these, there was a VERY limited number of transferable M203s:

Very nice. Anyone looking to move one of these, please hit me up.

One of these has been posted on Gun Broker

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1023509231

10+ Day Auction and 13 bids since yesterday. No real surprise there since it's a $.01 start.

 

[pyrobob]

Something seems amiss here, for sure. I'm still interested in one, whatever their story, but the $4200 'sale' price point seems way high. I could be totally wrong though, and possibly many others, when any M320 launchers become unobtainium and going for super high prices in a couple of years....

 

[pyrobob]

So this showed up on Gunbroker https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1026252492

Kind of hard to see, but are those HK laser markings like we spotted in the original photos on AU?

 

[pyrobob]

Glad to hear you received a refund. I remain interested in one, but not at their current asking price.

 

[pyrobob]

Well so this auction wound up at $2500 even with 12 bids https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1029241788. Current asking price on the AU website is $2800, which is the Shot Show Special Price per the website.

 

[pyrobob]

Anyone ever get ahold of one of these? They still have over 40 left.

 

[pyrobob]

Thanks. I'll check that out. The unlicensed copy thing doesn't bother me as much as the bogus HK Logo, that is now apparently covered up by the QR code. I wonder if they got duped into these and had to get creative with removal/rebranding.
