| Does anyone know when H&K went from the grey box to the new black box? |
| During 2001 (AB date code). Some AB pistols were shipped in the gray boxes, some in the black, and some during the transition were shipped in the generic Gun Guard cases. The change was made because HK started shipping pistols with two finger extended magazines and they would not fit in the gray cases. That is not to say that some pistols were not shipped in gray cases after 01 (I know for a fact that some AC pistols in .45 and 9mm were shipped out in gray cases) but in general the change occurred during that year. |
Dang, you know it all don't you  ? You never cease to amaze me BigBore!

Even better is if you look at the two letter manufactured date code. |
the thought never occured to me before to look up the date code. but, that's how i found out it was old. it was my first hk, after all
