Posted 31 January (edited) Like the title says, I'm looking for an earlier Heckler & Koch Mark 23. Please PM me if you have an example you'd like to sell. Doesn't need to be pristine; shooter grade is okay Edited 1 February by MFP Autos Atlanta, Georgia, United States Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 February I'm curious.... what is the significance of the 2006 production year/date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 February (edited) I believe 2004 is when HK stopped supplying the guns to the military. After that time HK made some minor changes to the gun regarding the finish and the like, as they no longer had to build the gun to contract specs. I thought it was 2006 the changes happened, but your message caused me to reflect on it - now I think it was 04'. Edited 1 February by MFP Autos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
