SCAR 16 as a M4 replacement was a non starter, especially as the SOPMOD Blocks started showing up but the SCAR 17 as a replacement of the M14 makes sense. Also keep in mind that the M110 at the time had a bare bones weight of 13.8 lbs and I suspect the specs were written to keep AR's out (folding stocks, swapable barrels etc.).
