H&K Quality Meets the Thumbhole Stock: The SR-9
This video analyzes the Heckler & Koch SR9 rifle, a variant designed to bypass the 1989 "assault weapon" import ban. Approximately 4,000 were imported between 1990 and 1998. The SR9 is characterized by its bare muzzle and distinctive thumbhole stock and handguard. Early models featured a delicate faux wood grain finish. Special editions, the SR9T and SR9TC, incorporated PSG-1 grip and trigger assemblies along with MSG-90 or PSG-1 buttstocks, leveraging the administrative nature of the ban for target shooting designs. The video explores the design and import context of this unique H&K firearm.
