    That is a great thought, Isn't that something an individual can do though? as long as they don't lose the standard one?

    And a BAD-ASS selector.

    EH, these will come with the colt ambi selector. Not quite a BAD-ASS but still ambi.

    Another thing to remember is this is for 120,000 M4A1's but the other 300,000 will be built through the PiP(or MWO), Colt won the PiP barrel.

    Have you tried the Rainier Raptor? There is no better charging handle, IMHO.

    Yes, I actually like them both, but the BCM is about 20.00 cheaper.

    I'm kind of glad Remington didn't get the M4 and M4A1 contract. I love my Remington 700's, 11-87's, 870 and 7600. However, I've bought some Remington products of late that leave a lot to be desired from a QC stand point. A 7600 Carbine that started rattling horribly like no other a month after I bought it new, a 11-87 12 ga. 18.5" Police barrel that I can't get enough windage out of the sight and my sons Marlin 336Y that has a canted barrel that was made by Remington after they bought Marlin and moved production to Ilion, NY.

    All three were bought new in the last few years and all three need to be fixed. I haven't made up my mind yet as to whether or not I'm going to send them back to Remington or just have a good gun smith fix them. Remington definitely isn't what they used to be. I wouldn't want them trying to make 1200 M4's and M4A1's a month for combat troops. Just my $.02, YMMV.

    While it would be nice for Colt to make them, FN knows how to make quality weapons.

    Remington? They should have stuck to bolt actions and shotguns, IMO.
