May be. If during this time nothing more modern and convenient to use will be developed. Now, after all, all industries are developing, although sometimes it seems that the arms sector has slightly slowed down in the direction of technological progress, the development of electronics and space technologies.Originally Posted by SteyrAUG

Well, since the M27 is now the Marines' service rifle, and this NGSW is likely going to go the way of the OICW, the XM8, and the Land Warrior, I'd imagine the Army is NOT going to sit back and let the Marines be the one with the new, cool rifle. My guess is that they'll adopt a 416 variant service wide at some point, which would be great because that will probably mean that 416 will have to give up some patents. Just speculation.

I meant "we" the citizens of the US, and I mean something truer to the 416 than the MR556. I think our military is doing fine with the current M4 platform. Special dudes already have 416s and "gotta be different" branches already have their "other than M4" rifle. Marines ran the M16A4 for a long damn time so they probably earned their M27.

I like my MR556. Quite a bit. I don’t know why people want the 2005 416 when the current year ones are so much better. I would love it if they would release the more current version but the one available is the M27 with no select fire.
The G95 would be dope
Especially a really well configured MR762.
I love mine.

I know that's what you meant by "we". That's what I meant as well; that's why I was talking about HK having to give up patents if the Army were to adopt a 416 variant; we'd likely see multiple quality companies like BCM, DD, etc. making 416 rifles and parts, and thus more affordable options than HK on the civilian market.

I don't know which gen 416 I shot but I shot a few, then I got a MR556 and it wasn't even close to the same. It's like ordering a Colt 6945 but getting one with a HBar barrel.I like my MR556.

At least the USC was able to be converted to an acceptable UMP so I shouldn't complain.

That is a good idea.

Hey, I just noticed they went to a Pmag thing. WTF? All that talk about the ultimate maritime magazine, where did it go? That was 10% of the appeal of the rifle.

For the first time in, well, forever, the Marines aren't getting sloppy seconds from the army. It only took 200+ years.

What specifically does the M27 do better than a M4?
You won't outvote the corruption.
