It won't be branch wide change. it's meant to be a test of manufacturing. That's why only 11k are being put into service. I think the marines are still trying to fully swap to m4s from the transition in late 2015.

Well there aren't that many CSOs in the entire Corps...

[Sgt (Ret) Heikinheimo]

I doubt the CSOs would go for it anyway. Im sure they are available for them but i'd say there is a reason that they are not using it already.

[2d Lt (Ret) Wendel]

Didn't we just get a new contract from FN for M4s? Sounds like someone's burning money.

[LtCol (Ret) Irwin]

Don't believe everything you see and read on the internet!
