Could it be that M16 receivers are cheap and plentiful?
I'm not sure if it's even possible to convert your standard M16 to an LSW, mind

In any case, I don't think it is appropriate to cut corners when it comes to support weapons. Their firepower and suppression ability is critical in combat.

Question about the first pic; Why are the magazine release and the selector lever on the right side of the rifle? Is that a left-handed version?
If so, why is the soldier pictured using a right-handed carry?

I think that's the standard configuration for the HK416: controls on both sides.
edit: Actually it looks like "normal" would be selector on the left, and only an "indicator" and the firing mode markings on the right. So no idea why it's like that. Might be that Norway ordered them configured that way. Last edited by Fincuan; 03-21-09 at 12:03 AM. |

Yea I know, I've been to Norway. I've even been to the gate of a military base where the guard saluted me for some reason. It was in the middle of nowhere up north. Not sure if it was a normal military base or some top secret Nato base.

If this weapon is configured like the G36 then you can operate it from both sides.

The receiver has "made in Germany" printed on it, reading left to right, stock to muzzle. The image is not a reversal.

That's what I figured too. "Ambidextrous trigger group" or something like that. Some, if not all, of the Finnish Army MP5s are configured the same way, so looks like it's not that uncommon with H&K weapons.
