The Hk416 has a track record but I have also recently heard that they are having some bolt issues.
Comparing piston systems that were designed from the ground up a la AK47, FAL, etc... is much different from a weapon that is essentially being redesigned/ retrofitted.
A perfect example of that is carrier tilt. No one really thought about it until it started becoming an issue.
I also don't give a rats ass about editors at gun rags. Many times they are given the weapons to do an evaluation and they also pay to advertise their stuff in the magazines.

Bolt carrier tilt is the reason why the carrier slightly over-sized in LWRC rifles. It prevents it from happening. It is true that some editors may be payed to advertise, which may result in a biased review. However it is reasonable to say that if a majority is stating the same qualities about a product, there is a great chance this is true. How else would you gauge the quality of a product if not through reviews of consumers and editors alike? I know many consumers would not be willing to purchase a firearm initially and find out what they purchased was crap.
