    If you click on the media link in the second paragraph, it shows you a few of the submissions.

    I only wish Robarm sold it in FDE like in that pic, because that is damn cool looking.

    It's good to see American arms makers in their swinging however, and actually doing a damn good job of being competitive without the deep pockets associated with FN and HK

    Isn't kac sorta... "it"?

    Also, how much interest does magpul have in the ACR anymore? Is it purely bushmasters property now? Just curious. Not sure if the deal's particulars were ever made public.

    My only wish is that the test isn't conducted as gay as the others. I truly want to see the weapons being used by personnel who have used them and not some POGUE who drives a cubicle.

    The weapon should be evaluated on everything from its' function failure rate (or lack thereof) and the amount and ease of maintenance. This thing will probably turn into another political handjob to make someone feel good.

    So Colt did show its piston rifle. My thought is that of the rifles shown in the link for pictures, no LMT MRP upper rifle is pictured??? Maybe, they didn't have a picture or just didn't mention it. I really like the LWRC PDW 8" 6.8 though!!!!!

    As much as I love the AR, it's ridiculous to only see a few weapons that are not in the AR category.
    Even Sig isn't going anything new, Hk just added a piston.
    It would be nice to see a few more completely new designs.

    I'd love to see that 1" barrel on the SCAR.

    some of the entries look like a joke. I think the key players here are Colt, Bushmaster/Remington/Magpul/Cerebus, HK, FN, and maybe LWRC.

    From where will the money come to do this?

    Are there enough congresscritters who will benefit from a new service rifle?

    You do see PMAG's in KAC's online cataloge...
    I was hoping to see an "upsized" KAC PDW in 5.56mm and 6.8 entered.


    I would tend to think that most of the 5.56mm M16FOW systems would enter the gun with PMAG's as its a no brainer to increase the system's weak link (the mag).



    I was surprised that VLTOR and Daniel Defense did not submit entries.
