If you’ve ever wanted an HK G36, you can now own a .22 LR lookalike made by Umarex.
The HK G36 has always been a rare bird in the U.S. Previously, those who wanted one were limited to clones made by TommyBuilt Tactical or buying an HK SL8 and paying to have it converted. Both were expensive options. Walther made a clone in .22 LR as well some years ago, but it’s no longer available. Now, those in need of having their G36 itch scratched can do it with a new officially licensed HK clone in .22 LR made by Umarex.
The HK G36 .22 LR not only looks extremely similar to the real deal, but it’s so similar that it can use genuine G36 handguards, sight rails, and stocks. There are 30-, 20- and 10-round magazines available for it. The standard model ships with one 20-round mag, but a compliant model with one 10-round mag is offered as well.
Nathan Schueth, Director of Sales & Business Development at HK USA, said this about the new rifle:
The G36 .22 has been a labor of love. The G36 .22 is the enthusiast’s rimfire: from its iconic silhouette, ambidextrous controls, and smooth recoil experience, we ensured that G36 .22 is no mere imitation – it is a fully-functional and fully-featured rifle … Our partners knocked it out of the park. The G36 .22 features wide compatibility with existing G36 accessories and is begging to be customized!
G36 .22 LR units are on their way to HK USA distributors now and the MSRP is $679.
