    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.

    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.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    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.
