....which doesn't look too boogered up (I'm not even sure this could be considered a copy of a G36, but I know how arbitrary that determination is). Think this will pass the copycat test? The HK293:
I know the G36 has some problems, but this might be another suitable alternative for some folks in the "Free" State.
The rifle is made with parts from the G36, but the bolt and the .223-chambered barrel design are unique. The reason for this is that gun companies in Germany cannot sell “weapons of war” to civilians. This gun has been sufficiently changed that it cannot be easily converted to a military-stye fully-automatic G36.
The rifle will feature a quad rail and a STANAG magazine well that accepts standard AR-15 magazine. Four different types of stocks will be offered, a short fixed stock, a long fixed stock (hunting/SLR style?) and two types of adjustable stocks.
