CDan, you'll get no arguments from me about the beauty and utility of the Garand family of weapons. I like the H&K design too, as well as the FN/FAL. This is not a zero-sum game though. Buying one gub doesn't not denigrate or invalidate the worthiness of others.

I'd love to have a 91, 93, and 94 all side-by-side for the choosing--depending on the situation presented. I'm not big on the M-16/AR-15 and it's nice to have a 9mm, a .223, and a .308 all possessing the same architecture and basic design. It lends itself to readily switching from one to the other with less difficulty.

It's a foregone conclusion that EVERY gubnut needs a Garand.

Yooper, I did take a look at the HK specialist website, and noted that they want $150.00 for a black wide forend for a 91. That's a bit steep.
