I'm all for the health of Colt but procurement of up to 10,000 additional M4 and M4A1 5.56mm carbine rifles at $57,722,819 comes out to $5,772ish per rifle.
Do these contracts generally include spares, mags, etc.?
If not, that isn't good news for those of us who expect our tax dollars to be used wisely.
I probably don't understand, so I'll look for the source document.
ETA: found the story: https://dod.defense.gov/News/Contrac...ticle/1641072/ Searched under the contract number and found nothing. Could someone who has knowledge of how these things work give me the skinny on why it apparently breaks down to over 5,000 a rifle?
Thanks.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
