rifle to replace the M-4. To be built in Georgia at a cost of $3000 each. I heard 300,000 for the Army and 50,000 for the Marines.

pay a lot extra for that H&K label. I have and like H&K's, but this over a Colt M4 for 50% more....rip off. Note, the plain rifle is 1200.00, whereas a plain M4 is well under 800.00
good point

Why can't they use made in the USA?

Why can't they use made in the USA instead of sending our money over to another country (HECKLER & KOCH GmbH).
H&K are building a big new plant in Georgia

that they will build the guns in, so at least some of the money in wages, material, supplies etc will stay here.
