Ditto on mags, Why the Army dumped money to come up with a prototype new plastic mag instead of going COTS I will never understand.

As to free floats and longer barrels I was just having this discussion with some folks in Bloomfield earlier this month. All free floating and adding 3.5 inches of barrel gets you is 200 more yards of somewhat precision fire. In other words a properly maintained M4 and a SPR shooting Mk262 will shoot neck and neck out to 400. its only out to 600 that the longer barrel and free float give you an advantage.

I have a Mk 12, a brand new M4 and a couple cases of 262 to try and replicate that, but ranges have been the issue here recently.
