If I didn't read rfis for a living I sure wouldn't read them for fun.
This one is not unusual.
Ignore Alien Orders
I disagree with many of the General's remarks. Unfortunately it seems we're about to repeat the camouflage selection debacle with rifles, with every service pursuing their own version of Excalibur. Between LSAT, the Army interim 7.62mm proposal, the dueling USMC RFI and M27 interest, the SOCOM intermediate cartridge proposal and USASOC upper receiver group...how many of these programs do we really need?
Meanwhile, M4A1s continue to enter service with a 7" RAS. Here's an interim solution for everyone that won't break the bank until we actually decide what intermediate cartridge we want...a URG (possibly mid-length if Crane determines the longer gas system plays better with M855A1) with an MLOK free float rail, a better Geissele trigger, MCT GEN3 PMAGs for the M855A1 cartridge, and a LPV optic...

So, an offering from "La Mancha Arms" has a pretty good chance to be selected? I need to go register that domain name.

This is so painfully stupid that it hurts.

Note the bullshit following of the liberal Narrative:
Now Milley wants to give the Army’s most deployable infantry units a 7.62mm alternative to the M4 in case they are thrown into a fight with Russian or North Korean forces equipped with modern rifle plates.

A different POV on so called "over match" from Jose G. For those not familiar with Jose, he has a similar professional background to "Roland" aka Chuck Pressburg. He knows his business.
