The US Army is involved in conflicts all over the world.
What they learn from it is important to their allies, many of
them use m4 type guns. We are one of them

Nice to see Colt back in the game too. I have had both in hand and I thought the FN's were a little nicer finishing, not that such matters when it counts. Apart from that not much to compare.
can give you somewhat of insight to the future of small arms, for example if the M4's were being manufactured in a 6.8 cased telescopic, you could be assure that the tech and most likely caliber would catch on and see a lot of development in the civilian shooting world.
Unless I am mistaken the fn uses cold hammer forged barrels that last longer. The colt uses broached barrels. That may have changed recently.Originally Posted by Steverdb
This is great news for Colt especially, hopefully will save them from going bankrupt again. Thumbs up, President Trump !
You should probably be thanking Obama the RFP was originally awarded in 2015 for 5 years.
The only way Trump could have had an effect is if he cancelled it

The addition of the 88 millions to the contract is Trump admin. Not Obama.
fake news!
Mm no, it is a set of 5 1 year contracts stipulating no defined amount of money. The vehicle was in place for the Army to order as they deemed fit. If said vehicle wasn't there they would have had to have a new contract set up and knowing how the govt does contracts you would see the result in about 5-10 years.
If you are going to thank anyone for said year thank the Congress for not reducing their budget since falls under their perview
I wish the Canadian government would jump in on this order and phase out the C7 from the Infantry lines
Left wing, right wing, they belong to the same bird.
