Spuhr gets new AK4C order from the Swedish Armed Forces
Spuhr in Sweden just released the news that they got a large H&K MP5 upgrade order from the German Bundespolizei. Just a few days later it is time for another positive announcement.
On this occasion, it’s another upgrade for an aging Heckler & Koch firearm, but for the Swedish Armed Forces which is Spuhr’s home market.
The order is for 5,000 Spuhr R-410 Stock Assemblies, to be retrofitted to the AK4 (Heckler & Koch G3).
The Press Release reads:
Löddeköpinge, Sweden (October, 2019)
Spuhr i Dalby AB (Spuhr®) is awarded additional order for G3 stocks.
In 2016 Spuhr® delivered more than 5,000 sets of our R-410 G3 Adjustable Stock (M4800-751529 KOLV AK4 JUSTERB /K) to the Swedish Armed Forces for the AK 4C and AK 4D rifles.
Today it is with great pride that Spuhr® can announce that we have signed a new order with FMV (the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration) for another 5,000 stock assemblies to be delivered by March 2020.
Mr. Ulf Nilsson, Chairman of the Board, says, “As a Swedish company we are honored to continue the long-held tradition of domestic production and supply to the Swedish Armed Forces.”
The Spuhr® R-410 G3 Adjustable Stock was designed to provide improved ergonomics and controllability for the G3 platform. Based on the success in Sweden, the R-410 – and its siblings, the R-310 and R-315 stocks, for the MP5 – are now in use with the Swedish Army and Home Guard, the Portuguese Marines, and with law enforcement in Germany and the Netherlands.
