Do some research on the difference between the parts made here and the original imported parts. Lots of debate about if there is any real difference. Price is definitely different.
They had a design problem early on that was fixed. Other then that I couldn't find anything wrong with them except personal preference. A lot of complaints about the kick. But thats not unusual for this Rifle.
It's explained in more detail over on the H&K Forum. People were worried about a certain manufacturing quality, Receiver I think.
It seems they got a hold of an H&K or G3 manufacturing Machine in South America. Imported it to the States. The one quality component people were concerned about is not a concern with this Machine they imported.
What a find that was.
I am not seeing any G3 type parts, it looks to me like an AK derivative.

The thing is damn expensive as well. I can have two nice ARs for what one of these costs, in a single caliber.

What is the advantage of the XCR over the M-4?
