Since broseph went for the hk416 and I cant find one perhaps a G&P, KWA or VFC m4 is in order- fits requirements for DMR potential, has ability to do CQB and also longer distances, easy to mount optics....
Unless theres a new VFC 416 in the AV section? might make it worth my while to get that done

G&P is good but I don't recommend it unless you have a background in mechanical systems because right off the bat you're going to need to replace and shim your gears. (My only gripe with G&P, everything else is good). For making such high quality stuff, you'd kind of expect them to not make gears that suck but the teeth can sometimes just shear right off unless you shim and set motor height correctly right out of the box. Or just replace the gearset with a ratio of your choice for what you want (ie. 21:1 torque gears or 13:1 speed gears (or more mild ratios)).
KWA kind of does weird things with their gearbox so that it's TM compatible-ish for a majority of things but at the same time not compatible enough to require serious modification for fitment in some areas and/or weird proprietary parts (which you can order direct from KWA if you phone them up but it's still like $12 shipping or whatever for like $3 worth of parts, unless you order a bunch of stuff at the same time). Their direct dealer shop is good but at the same time I like to avoid proprietary stuff because then they have you by the balls (especially when it comes to software vendors, I typically like open standards more).
VFC is good right out of the box, sometimes (only sometimes) will you get lemons (Monday gun vs Friday gun thing) but QC is good, externals are good (it boils down to personal preference but I like G&P just a tad bit better for externals).
