Very good rifle. Everything H&K makes is very, very good.(Although personal preference plays into these decisions).
One of the few negatives I can see about it is that it is fairly uncommon(if you need replacement parts and such). The only reason I have been around them is because another police agency near me uses them.
JD…just informational (nope…I’m not stockpiling an arsenal…even though you might think I need to if you stay on “PWI” long enough; even though they might prefer an 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket!)
A friend had sent me a pic where someone was holding the HK (it actually was taken in Germany). I never had seen one before and just wanted the experts thoughts on “T-Muscle”.
Is it “standard issue” for the German Police/Military?
Sig Sauer 556 rifle is much more bad ass and nicer than the H&K G36 in my opinion. I have fired both and the Sig is much smoother during rapid firing, stays extremely accurate, and fits much nicer…

I’m not terribly well versed on H&K rifles to begin with. I have never seen a civie equivalent stateside and there probably is not one. Only reason I have been around one is my assignment on a SWAT team.
On another, brighter note, the 416 was supposed to be released to the general public in the US this year wasn’t it?
Price will probably suck though.
I can’t tell you all how pissed I have been about the absurd price of the SCAR…
While we are talking about rifles, perhaps someone has experience with the M&P15-22 they would like to relate? Probably my next purchase as a training gun.

Haven’t shot the 556 yet. Is the trigger anything like the trigger on Sig pistols(“mushy” as hell)? Only thing ever turned me off about Sig’s was their shitty triggers.
