Their "AR" variant looks friggen sweet, as does the auto rifle, digging those compact box mags.

Textrons submission looked dope with telescoped ammo though.

I'll 'google' Textrons submission...Interesting caliber, no... It is all good!

Textron Systems and Winchester are taking over LC ammunition plant at the beginning of the year.
23 BILLION in new upgrades coming,I would bet that means plastic ammo.

Plastic ammo seems to be coming of age...

wouldnt be surprised if that becomes an antigunner angle. restrict plastic ammo sales and take out supply of old brass case type. prob difficult to retrofit current systems to plastic

That's the first thing I thought of "Military Only"
With Federal leaving it all makes sense why we where able to buy 5.56 @$225 a thousand last February

Hi,

Pretty sure there is still about a 3 year T&E phase of the NGSW program before ANY final weapon system is chosen.
The ONLY thing that is "certain" as of right now is the ammunition....the weapon system itself IIRC is still way up in the air.

Sincerely,
Theis
