If improvement over current M16 series is possible, this represents most likely approach given comprehensive approach to developing the SCAR requirement.
Curious to watch Army/USMC reception to SCAR fielding within SOCOM...
556/762 platform commonality is cool, what will be TELLING is how much 762 really gets used....
Put it thisa way:
“The field” is clammoring for a return to the 7.62x51. Also of note, in the future, there will also be a 7.62x39 variant fielded for the SCAR.
