Heckler und Koch desided to show a little love to civillians and finally make a civillian legal G36, that looked like G36.
At IWA 2014 the legal G36 was finally showcased, as the HK-243.
It comes in two variants- the baseline S-SAR "Sporter Basic" and the tactical S-TAR "Sporter Professional". Both are semi-auto .223 Remington (5.56x45mm) rifles, showing fixed iron sights with M1913 Picatinny rail. The difference between the basic and professional version lies in the furniture. The basic version has standart G36 folding stock and ventilated handguard. The professional version, on the other hand, has the folding, adjustable buttstock and an aluminium railed handguard, developed by the German Army and HK for the IdZ(Infantierst der Zukunft). Although, the furniture can further be bought and installed on the basic model.
Although the prices are unknown, for now, HK's hatred for civillian market couldn't decrease too much, so they are expected to be high, unreasonably high.
