Hi Adipose, I grew up there, and served in the SADF first as a conscript (infantry) so did basics with the R4, then trained as a Operational medic (combat medic) and continued service for 12 years as a 'camper" (citizen force service) where I carried the R5, but moved to the US years ago - so I bought a US import. I have a 5.56mm in AR style but with the Galil/AK gas port style - but am simply so comfortable with carrying and using the R4/5 (muscle memory etc) that I spent the extra cash to get that. The one i have has what appears to be the R4/5 style (Galil I presume) flash hider and the butt looks standard (no padding), it also has the wooded hand grips similar to the style we saw in early versions of the R4 prior to about 1985.
