The closest thing I've had to a G36 is a SL8 SBR conversion to a G36k.
I hated the sights. The iron sights were slightly better than what you would find on a MAC 10 and the single/dual optic sights (despite being from Hendsolt) were really kinda crappy with a limited FOV. It reminded me of trying to use those old Aimpoint RDS setups from the early 80s.
The trigger, while not horrible, can't even begin to compare to the SIG rifle. There are also many reports which suggest the SIG is far more durable and less prone to breakage.
That said, the HK is lighter and can accept side rails without the need for expensive Knights handguards. The SIG does accept a B&T top rail without any modifications.
There are the noted problems with the 552 (which seem to be mostly addressed by the 553) but I have to wonder if the G36c isn't also very problematic (I have no experience with one).
I eventually sold my SL8/G36k SBR due to LOP issues related to the stock block (not an issue on the factory G36 series) used for the conversion.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
