Isn't Steyr still going into production with the aluminum receivers for any countries that want it?

Seems like a cool idea, should be pretty easy to extrude the aluminum into the shape and throw a steel trunnion into it like the ACR. Keep all the existing accessories and parts.
Ohh well, Basically what the 433 is anyways. Too bad it didn't go anywhere.

How much weight does that add?
Well yeah, but it sure is tacticooler. Don't let the fact that it already works get in the way.
Some folks need belt feed, some don't.
Something the rifle was never designed to do. Replacing the receiver with an aluminum one will not change them having issues with that kind of abuse. What’s HKs recommendation of rounds per minute for rapid fire?
Just because something can shoot 700 rpm doesn’t mean that it should.
The whole problem is burning through the hundreds of rounds on full-auto like an idiot.....then complaining when the weapon has problems....any combat rifle will have problems at that rate, AR15 FOW usually melts the gas tube at a few hundred rendering the gun totally useless....
No Combat rifle in the world can match the performance of the G36, Brian is correct, 24000 rounds fired, not malfunctions no parts breakage and most importantly no lubing during the test. Often we hear of AR15 FOW's running thousands of rounds without problems....but that is with regular and heavy lubing!

I think that would be attributed to either a bad bubba build, or a fudd that doesnt know how to properly lube an AR15. A quality AR will will run like a top when properly lubed and maintained.
My point is not so much about which one is better, it is more about which one can be made available for a reasonable retail price.
Personally I think making a receiver designed for polymer and molding out of aluminum is dumb. The geometry of the receiver is designed for molding everything into a single piece at once, and it was not designed with using an extrusion tube in mind. Making G36 receiver out of an aluminum plate is going to be costly. The way to make a G36 out of AL is called the FN SCAR and HK 433.
I will be happy to see Tommy T36 in Canada . G36 is designed almost 30 years ago, there is no secret sauce with fibre glass embedded polymer anymore.
