I’m not big on ambi stuff. About the only thing I like ambi is bolt releases. I liked the colt monolithic stuff especially the 901 series.

Safety is nice to have as ambi (being a southpaw myself). Mag release I can deal with like I always have.
As someone else mentioned, it's basically an M4 with fancy new furniture. Meh.

"Severely outdated". Lmao. Go tell all those door kickers using "severely outdated" carbine length gas 14.5" M4's. Keep in mind that the test you're referring to with the midlength URGI was using M855A1 ammunition, which is damn near proof pressures. Of course it's going to hold up better than a 14.5" carbine. There is other testing such as by the Army that showed the M4A1 having over 3600 Mean Rounds Between Stoppages using M855. Y'know, ammunition at pressures that the rifle was actually designed for. It's funny to me how the tacticool AR world thinks one of the most proven gas/barrel length combos is severely outdated. We're not talking laser guns vs muskets here. At the end of the day these are still just select fire 5.56mm assault rifles that are more than reliable enough for high volume use. Nothing is game changing either way to make anything outdated.
If Colt/CZ. Brings a 16” version of the M5 out for civilian sale, I might have to make room in the safe...
It is the task of our generation, yours and mine. But we build and defend not for our generation alone. We defend the foundations laid down by our fathers. We build a life for generations yet unborn.
We defend and we build a way of life, not for America alone, but for all mankind. Ours is a high duty, a noble task.---Franklin Delano Roosevelt May 26th, 1940.
