How To Field Strip a H&K G36C
Published: March 28th, 2013
The folks at Funker Tactical have been producing a series on videos on the H&K G36C. In the video below they show you the field stripping process. I like that the G26 stock has holes to hold the takedown pins during disassembly so they do not get lost.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Did I see bolt bounce? From what I understand that is not a good thing.
There's a lot to like about the G36 family: simple design, few parts, excellent build quality, reliable piston operation and good accuracy for an assault rifle.
But I don't like weapons with polymer receivers. I would much prefer it to made of aluminium.
I like the way the charging handle can be operated left- or right-handed. It can also be used as a forward assist. Unfortunately, it prevents the weapon for having a low mounted rail that runs the length of the upper receiver. It also requires sights and accessories to be mounted high on the weapon - not great for shooting ergonomics - it can feel top heavy.
If H&K could address both of these issues, it would have a world-class design. Until then, the AR15 still rules.
