If they want to get rid of them, I'll take one, they shouldn't complain, they could be toting an M-60 Pig around.

They need to go to the EBR. 7.62. made from a very reliable weapon with a very good service history. The only issue I see is soldier maintenance. I own a Garand...it's fun to clean.

60 gunner. Loved it. Just had to keep that gas tube tight.

The article has been updated. Now it says the M16A4's are for foreign sales, not for US troops.
