Has anyone seen this? www2.eps.gov/spg/USA/USAMC/DAAE30/Awards/W15QKN%2D04%2DC%2D1074.html I'd like to know if it's now official or is this just another order for more testing? Edited to fix the link...

There were a pair of solicitations issued back in December related to additional R&D efforts for the XM8. The first regarded design improvement efforts, including back-up iron sights, a visible bright light, a folding or collapsible buttstock, and an Automatic Rifle variant. The other concerned development and testing of seventy-two Safety Blank Firing Adapters. These were later rolled up into a single solicitation. In addition, I just discovered that a solicitation to acquire 500 more XM8 was released on New Year's Eve. |
