I read that the .mil had contracts for 16's & 17's and cancelled the 16 contract in part because the 17 can be converted to a 16. How is that done? The magwell would seem to be a problem?
My personal sentiment as well about the 16. I have enough AR's.The 16 was cancelled because it didnt provide a significant improvement over the M4 for the money. SOCOM gets M4s for free from the Army. No reason to spend its own $, especially now that its budget crunch time.
