Had a problem with keeping it zeroed for each user. Other than that nothing.

Oh yeah and already had a rifle taken out of service. I think it was operator error.

I don't blame them for not doing it.  They've been burned by congress enough times banning their .mil derived civie rifles that if I was concerned with keeping my company afloat I wouldn't spend the money either.

well, you don't read enough then... google the 1989 AW import ban.  It's the same reason we can get AUGs, Sigs and all other european goodies...

Sounds fair to me, if I can't have G-36's, no one else should be allowed to either.

Are the Canadian G-36's pump action or single shot?

News flash! The Nazi regime was defeated 60 years ago. You might want to read the news more often.
