    I'm pretty sure that this is simply the official response following the re-bid resulting from the protest. Nothing new.

    Yeah, I figured it was the government finally getting around to the official paperwork, albeit a little late, for Remington.

    From what I understand, there are about 5,000 Remington marked M4s out there now. Be a neat keepsake for posterity if they could be snatched up.

    I wonder if they are this model or the more traditional design

    The government is notoriously slow in doling out the paperwork and yes they can call and cancel most things pretty quick. Heck, they usually just send you an email!

    It's the nature of the business and often built into the cost of a contract (aka, the risk of doing business with them).

    Since they were contracted to build M4A1 carbines, I'd imagine they were basic carbines that look just like every other M4A1 in the Army with the exception of the roll mark on the side.

    Also ambi safety. I know the 101st got the first batch.....they may have got the only batch.

    This is the response to the rebid in which FN won. Funny thing is now FN makes the M16/M4 and Colt makes their LMG's......

    Objects of the most stupendous magnitude, and measure in which the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn are intimately interested, are now before us. We are in the very midst of a revolution the most complete, unexpected and remarkable of any in the history of nations.

    Still paid for 1

    According to the document the government is still paying for 0004AA which was for delivery of 1 rifle with payment of 1,665,922.50. That should help offset the cancellation notice a bit.

    WOW, I hope all parts were staked properly at that price!!!!

    Funny... I looked at the Remington M4's at SHOT show and was impressed with the features: ambi controls and recessed QD sockets in the receiver. Upon closer examination I noticed the lower was engraved "Mega". When I was at the Mega Arms booth, I asked about them making the Remington lowers, and the guy said "Really, they had those on display?! Those were prototypes we did for them!"
