[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1511338, member: 42"] From my exposure to it and it's users...economic is the answer, but it was supposed to be a short term answer. Tons of them left in the inventory, and a contractor offered a 'upgrade' package with very little input 'from the field'....resulting in 'false economy' as is often the result with a program not driven by the end user. Not many of the firearms-inclined folks (in other words, folks who know what other options there are/were) that I've talked with in the army actually appreciated the EBR, they merely have to put up with it as a 'gap-filler' until a purpose built rifle can be developed/accepted by Big Green. But Big Green moves slow.....It's been about 6 years now. [/QUOTE]
