I think the HK433 is a more likely candidate for that: http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/produ.../overview.html

Rumors suggest that the HK233 is an updated version of the G36 with the biggest change being attempts to rectify the wandering zero issue.

They continue to tease us with awesomeness like this...maybe when the new Georgia facility is complete, those of us in the US will be able to purchase...

We can only hope that the Georgia facility is going to churn out all of the BA stuff we have been denied for years.

Being able to afford it is another thing, but lets take this one step at a time.
