Just out of curiousity, I saw a Hechler and Koch Battle Rifle mentioned favorably once upon a time.

Could any of my fellow 'gun nuts' here at FR inform as to the specs of that weapon?

Just curious...

H & K has many great rifles but has taken a "black-eye" with their British division and the SA-80. I personally have their HK91, USC, and SL-8 (and love them). I am an ex infantry guy (10+ years as an "E" & "O"), I grew up on the M-16A1&2 but I love the M-14. I really believe that HK's "highpoint" in design was their G-11. Had the Army & Marines been really serious they should have continued with the G-11. You can go to Google and search under H&K and get the specs.

Do you mean the G36? That's a very nice rifle.

If you're talking about the G3, I'm with you. THe G3 is great. It has an easy to detatch trigger group that makes it easy to switch between single fire only, and auto. All you gotta do to make yours full auto, is find a full auto trigger group and then put it on your rifle.

That rifle also has a really cool collapsable buttstock.
