Hey all, back with another question on production years. I recently became very interested in these wooden HK rifles, but I can't seem to find very much information on them.

All I could really find was wikipedia stating that the SL6 and SL7 were made from the "1980s to 1991" I can't find anything on production years for the 630 and 770. I did find one thread where it mentioned one of the rifles was not made after 1986, but I can't find any other conclusive information. I have seen some rifles produced in the 70s, though...

What was the timeline of these guns? Did the 630 come out before the SL6? Did the 770 come out at the same time as the 630?

From what I pieced together, it seems like the 630/770 came out in the 70s, then the SL6/SL7 were made in the 80s, and at one point all 4 were being made...Then production of 630/770 stopped, but SL6/SL7 resumed until 1991? I am not sure at all, but that is my guess.

If anyone has any information on these I would really appreciate it. @AGG I am hoping for your knowledge on the subject!

Based upon factory date codes that I have seen: :)

HK 630 (1981-1988)
HKSL6 (1982-1987; 1991-1996; 1999)
HK 770 (1977-1986; 1991-1994)
HK SL7 (1983-1986; 1989-1996)
