I know it's a fantasy, but I sure hope they can sell the old parts kits to us lowlife 'civilians'. I'd love to have a couple of 20" uppers.

They need to sell us the whole guns, make full autos legal and start getting these things for a couple grand a piece!

I'll be the blue face in the corner.

I went in thinking they were getting a whole new weapon system. The M4 is just an M16 Lite, the low calorie alternative.

That happened to me too. Same stuff, different form-factor. This wasn't exactly a leap they took.

Since they're getting new uppers it really would have fun if they could have made the jump to 6.8.

They aren't getting new uppers, they are swapping whole M16 A-4's for whole M-4's. Not a leaps and bounds improvement. But it sure goes a long way towards lightening the load for the grunts.
