I have one. It is the softest recoiling .308 I have ever shot. I shot a 3 shot group with irons at 100 yard that could be covered by a quarter. The irons are the same as the HK-91. It is accurate with milsurplus, premium hunting ammo, Federal GM 168MK, everything. A wonderful, short, accurate carbine. I got it for a great deal used. I then called HK and they sent me an owner's manual (the last one) for free.
Magazines are expensive at $60+ even for the 2 or 3 rounders. (2 rounders were for the German home market.) Factory 10 round mags are also available at $60+. I find 2, 3, and 10 rounders are the same cost. NO OTHER HK MAGS FIT!!!
Get the HK05 scope mount if you can find one. B-Square makes their version, but it is not as nice (but is only $50, compared to HK05 running as high as $395) I got mine used for $190, and picked up assorted parts of the mount at gun shows for 2 years, so I now have a complete second for a total of $90! The HK05 definitely holds a zero when removed and replaced.
Good Luck.
You may be able to get a used one imported privately using an ATF Form 7(?). I do not know if the 1994 ban applies since they never had a flash hider, pistol grip, or highcap, but with this administration, import may be denied. They became too expensive for the US market.
