Cong Remington! Lost M4 contract is not the end of the world, you now have 80milion contract to deal with LOL

Well, I guess Sako/Beretta is having a good time now. Remember the year when they launched their TRG M10 with arrogance "No sir we will NOT sell it to civilian market cause it is made from Unobtainium blablabla". Apparantly SOCOM doesn't care, and it is just dumb to abandon civilian market proved again, even MSR has a small batch released to civ market. Guess M10 will either be buried in the ash of history or.. will Beretta sell it?

Waiting for FN to deliver their Ballista to FFL
Whatever the company did in Europe, Unique Alpine's rifle is a dream rig....
