Anyone have good experiences whit the G36?

[Edwood]

Hello every one. New hear. I live and work all over Mexico for the army. We have a lot of HK riffles in the armory. We are currently retiring the G3 riffle and replacing it whit the G36. I currently have a Mossberg 500, a Glock 17 and a MP5 as assigned weapons.

Anyone have good experiences whit the G36?. I have heard that the factory magazines have a coupling attachment that is a pain in the ass.

Thanks in advance.

I have a G36K and it is reliable. I would be happy with it.

I thought it was hard to control on full auto. It's recoil is much sharper due to the piston and lightweight polymer.
It wouldn't be my first choice.

I heard people having problems finding magazine pouches and accessories for them. A side from the fact that the factory original magazines are very expensive.

I have a G36C. Very easy to shoot and reliable as well.

Mags are the weakness if this system though. Weak feed lips, prone to cracks breakage if dropped on hard surfaces such as concrete. Stupid tabs that get in the one of mag pouches.

Can't wait for magpul to release their Pmag for the G36 platform

That will be the same day they release their FMG-9.

My organization issued the G36C briefly as a replacement for the MP5 and M4, but had too many problems with it overseas, so it was dropped in favor of a more conventional 5.56mm rifle.

The word is that the Germans are doing a midlife upgrade to the G36 soon and one of the points is a new mag.

Larry Vickers said people reported that the zero starts to wander as the gun gets hot and the groups open. It is believed that the plastic receiver has issues as the temperature rises.

Have you seen the video of the 9 beta dumps through the G36C during HK's desert testing? It ran like a champ through all nine with out a single FTE, FTF!

No but I trust you these is one and it did it. That is not the issue, the question does the zero wander? I do not know since I have only shot 2-3 magazines through one.

i think the recoil is pretty smooth on a g36, although i've never fired full auto (fully converted sl8)

the factory mags are kinda crappy imo, the feed lips are weak, and the clips break off-not to mention get stuck or hung up in almost every type of mag pouch i try on them, including taco's-i need some pmag 30g's

as far as accuracy i've only fired 4ish mags at most in a day and it ran great and held good groups when done, but my rifle wasnt real run very hard ever since i've had it-my biggest problem with it is the non adjustable stock, kinda long with armor and cheek weld is a little hard to come by at times with optics

look for the V stock, it's what the Lithuanians, Latvians and a couple other countries ordered when the bought their 36's its a folding/colapsable with an adjustable cheek piece (comb?).

[bigdog2003_99]

the only kv stock i've ever seen was about 350$ on gunbroker/hkpro, chopstixkid said the airsoft ones are actually pretty stout and he's used 1 or 2 on some builds with good luck. i think if i do anything i'm either going to get a dual optic for collectors sake or go g36c. i have a couple other projects at the moment i'm gonna try to finish up (hopefully lol)
