The rifle borrows from the HK417-basedBundeswehr G28 Designated Marksman Rifle. The new slimmer stock is a non-adjustable version of the G28 stock and it features the same Flat Dark Earth color-scheme as the G28.

Internally the rifle features a new improved adjustable gas regulator. Altair.com.plreport that the improved gas regulator allows the rifle to accommodate a 10.5″ barrel. The rifle also features ambidextrous fire controls and a repair kit housed inside the pistol grip.

stop dragging steve into this; learn to fight your own battles and stand your own ground if you have the audacity to make the outlandish claims have been making.
and I am a SCAR lover. I own a 16 and 17. Ill gladly pit them against any other weapon of their class.
