Does anyone know if Remington has made very many overseas sales of their M4's?

MANILA, Philippines — As part of its efforts to modernize the equipment of its troops, the Philippine Army has fully equipped its troops with Remington M4 carbine rifles after the final delivery of more than 12,000 firearms arrived last December.
This means that its procurement of 56,843 rifles, which will replace the M16 rifles issued to its troops, is now complete.
Col. Benjamin Hao, the Army spokesperson, said the newly delivered firearms would be lined up for ballistics tests with the Philippine National Police’s crime laboratory just like the 19,866 M4 rifles currently undergoing ballistics examination.


The final batch of 12,657 M4 carbine rifles were delivered last December.

Remington Defense is a newcomer, according to reports. This batch had issues with the rear sights, I recall.

Hopefully they have correct F marked front sight bases unlike some that were purchased by a police agency in Australia who had problems zeroing their weapons.
