New post on the Jersey HK433s. They were just adopted as the new Jersey (UK) police patrol carbine. The finalist were the 433, HK416A5, and LMT MARS 5.56mm. They were all set up for semi-auto only use (S/F trigger groups) and had 11" approx barrels. From what I was told, the picture previous...

Also borrowing from a post elsewhere that gives a rundown on what was talked about in a video previously posted from Ukraine: "Rewatched the ORKOV.net (Ukranian) video with subtitles. Main takeaways (which is just the impression of the two guys): The first thing they talk about is the stock...

It seems that since the photo originated from the island of Jersey in UK and has a SF trigger group, it may be a police carbine or is being evaluated as one.

New 433 photo:

G36 and MG5 on Bundeswehr exercise:

IMO at present, HK are selling too many HK416s and G36s, the G36 (which the 433 was meant seemingly to replace) is still in production, and HK overall have mis-managed their marketing for the 433. First, they rushed it into the German Army rifle trials (from what I've been told way too early in...

I did get my copy of Monthly Gun Professionals magazine with the HK433 as a feature story. Sadly, not much new, given that we've gotten video and photos from Ukraine of the 433 disassembled. However, it's worth noting that the dual ejectors on the Ukrainian 433s seems to be a recent change...

The Armourer's Bench on the HK G11, including disassembly and functioning:

In Japanese sadly, but I'll take what I can get until an English language source is able to do such things with the 433 (and even newer 416 variants and even G36s). But there will be photos and charts obviously (though only one preview photo as far as I can find so far--as the mag was just...

I feel that this video (which is over 40 minutes long) deserves it's own thread. It does show off certain features of the 433 (namely disassembly and such), such as how the 433's gas system knob has it's own disassembly notch as well as a "normal" and "suppressed" setting, how easy it is to use...

Back on the 433, after teasing it for a couple of weeks, Monthly Gun Professionals magazine has released some preview images and such of their Feb. 2025 issue. Only one shown of the HK433 so far is of a FDE 11" barreled version. Maybe of small note is that the rear sight is mounted backwards...

Interesting post and video (in Ukrainian) of the HK433: https://x.com/Southwood_/status/1870988475945623965

Ukrainian spec G36 without top rail and no suppressor. Note the HK G95 family flash hider (similar to the HK433 and newer HK416 aside from longer portion that fits over the barrel). This seems like the standard going forward.

HK433, G36K, MG5 and MG4 in Ukraine:

You'll have to put up with James Reeves, but he interviews Martin from Austria Arms, who produced a as faithful as he was able to, commercial clone of the German KSK G95K off of a MR223A3. And Martin is also of the opinion that in quite a few ways the American MR556A4 is overall superior to the...

HK G36 live firing on exercise in Latvia. It should be noted that the current version of Lithuania's G36s differ in that(both the Lithuanian and Latvian G36s are based on the long barreled version of the G36KV) Latvia are still using the old style handgaurds with bolt on Pic rails. Lithuania...

This is one for those who love pictures and such--Japanese magazine Monthly Gun Professionals near month's end will release their Feb. 2025 issue with a deep dive into the HK433. Mag is in Japanese only, but will have detailed photos.

From the Secret Projects Forum, some early G36 concept sketches, including a bullpup version:

More G36 (with a HK243 bonus) from Ukraine. First is a table top review/field strip of a G36KV 15.4". No shooting but good visuals. And a HK243 being tested for accuracy and such, also with a Ukrainian STANAG mag adapter.
