    Military contracts (if any) would be coming out of Remington's new MPD division.

    Rumor has it that Bushmaster would be the entity producing the civilian version.

    Remington has a better experience base with .gov contracts, but this is all that's floating around the rumor mills I know of.

    I think the lead runner for the new military contract is going to be H&K.
    At least that's what I've heard so far.

    If the vaunted "HK 416" is the trial winner, I guess then I'd have to ask why SOCOM is deploying large numbers of the SCAR in practical long term trials?

    The replacement contract keeps changing and evolving. The ACR has as good a chance as any right now. Otherwise I'd have to ask why the management at Remington would even bother taking on the cost to prep for competition and production.

    I like the Masada name better as well, but ACR is a better .mil name. I am thinking FN will stand a great chance, as well as HK. maybe remington and bushmaster are trying their hand, but know in the end they can sell the civilian version off just like FN is doing now as well as HK. get enough punlic interest and millions of rounds shot and the .mil may take a closer look.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
