Heckler & Koch the new importer for Merkel???
      #24102 - 14/01/05 01:03 PM

I was paging through the latest edition of "Shooting Sportsman" at the book store and saw an ad for H&K stating that for the US, they are the new importer of Merkel firearms. The ad further said that Merkle was bought out by H&K.

Has anyone else heard about this? Is GSI still in the picture?

Yep, happened last year I think.

Should prove to be interesting. Hopefully H&K can get GSI out of the picture and Merkel prices can come back to reality. They've been pushing them up and up. Their shotguns are good, but the price has gone up and up so that they cost more than guns that are customized for your measurements (Grulla, etc), and Merkels are 'off the rack'.

H7K also is supposed to drop their Fabarms shotgun line (they had some issues with Fabarms supply), so it might be that H&K trys to push Merkels as their main shotgun line, which (maybe just maybe) will stablize their prices.

Well these are just some of my rambling thoughts.
