But my friend who finished his conscripted service in the korean military heralded the durability of the k2 while he was there. As far as I know the only reason why the koreans use us products is bc we package our weapons into aid packages to allies. same reason why the israelis use the m4 as well. its definitely not b/c our stuff is better, its just cheaper.

Last week i decided to clean it,and I noticed there was a wable/rattle to my piston rod. looking further at it there is a roll pin holding it. ( is it supposed to wable/rattle?)

Simply excellent. However, the South Korean rank and file prefer the M-16 series because they're an American design, the US uses them, and they assume that a Korean design is inferior. Don't ask me to go into it - Koreans just assume that Korean products are inferior. I used to work with a lot of former ROK soldiers and Marines (since they have mandatory conscription) and they all, to a man, said that the M-16 was better because it wasn't a Korean design... even if it was manufactured by the same company as the K rifles... and even if they didn't have any actual problems with the K rifles.

B) Are they going to have a 6.5 Grendel caliber in the near future? A) Is Daewoo K2 better than Singaporean SAR-21? how does it fair with SAR-21?

I'm sure the young SC conscripts are happy with the upgrade. I think they prefer the M4 tho because of all the video games they played. I guess those are 1913 rails.
