Looks awfully familiar. Ours came with little sections of rail on the foreend for attachments and was $200 cheaper, but that's it for sure. I was sorta hoping the "FBP1" moniker would be exclusive to us though.

So in a previous thread that got linked to this one, I'd stated how we'd been forced to retire our MP-5s and were issued Rock River AR-15s. After first owning a personal BCM mid 16 mod 2 and now a bureau approved Colt LE6920 FBP-1, I was very disappointed that they were RRA, seemed second rate in fit, finish and feel (seemed very heavy, especially nose-heavy) and I worried about reliability.

We had our first issue a few months ago, loose gas key on the BCG. Had to send whole gun to Quantico for service/repair.

Officer was picking it up today and says they replaced whole upper with a shorter barrel (maybe 14, 14.5"), different handguard (mlok?), what looks like a Magpul CTR stock.

What's odd is that they removed the Eotech and replaced with some red dot made by Sig? I've only ever used the issued Eotechs and the Aimpoint T-1/T-2 that are on my personal rifles. Haven't heard much about the sig sight, but then again, I haven't looked.

Looks like a major upgrade to me. At least as far as the rail goes. SBR length barrel? Not so sure about optic.

It's an 11.5" bbl with a 10" Geissele Mk4 hand guard. The Sig Romeo 4M was supposed to have excelled in all their testing and even beat out the Aimpoint. I'm interested in seeing one in person as it lets the user select between a 2 moa dot and the dot with a 65 MOA ring. It also turns on from motion/movement to save battery life.

Oh and you can fold down those irons.

It didn't beat the aimpoint it just didn't suck so they approved both.

I've read in another thread the sig is made by holosun.

Haven't seen it in person yet, as he just sent that one picture yesterday. I'll take some better pictures and get a good look at it hopefully early next week

No...

That is not how FBI procurement works with these small purchases. It met their specs, Aimpoint and Sig 4M are approved for use. Just like their are a few approved manufactures for the rifles themselves.
