if i had to have a gas piston-- i would get one of those $400 kits.

no i wouldn't put that much $$ in a HK--esp in 5.56.

i have trained with about every type of HK rifle and pistol up to 2006. HK is good. but i don't see them ahead of other firms like FN. in fact HK has turned out some real turkeys in recent years --like case less ammo weapons, the XM-8 and others--i can't really see how a g-36 is worth that much more than a m-4 although there all overpriced and over hyped. i would take a SCAR over either--
