Was already here. And already said a bullpup would never happen here.Yes Bobo, I somehow knew you would be around soon.
If you remember, the .22 Nosler is a .224 caliber cartridge with a case body similar to that of 6.8 SPC but with a rebated rim of .378 diameter. The case thickness allows to fit the cartridge into 6.8 SPC magazines and the rebated rim makes it fit the standard AR-15 .223/5.56 bolt face. So to switch to this caliber all you need is a different barrel and 6.8 SPC magazines.
Judging by the drawings, the .20 Nosler is based on the same rebated rim case as the .22 Nosler. However, it is not quite a necked down .22 Nosler. If you look closely, you'll see that it has slightly different shoulder and neck height. Obviously, both cartridges are aimed at the varmint hunting market. The .20 Nosler should be able to offer impressive ballistics for a cartridge fitting into the AR-15 platform.
But you keep hopin'Was already here. And already said a bullpup would never happen here.
Nope. Knowing NIH syndrome, the U.S might make their own bullpup and have the same problems with as the SA80. I'll keep my hopes for never being issued a M249 if/when I go in.But you keep hopin'
Love is a powerful emotion.
Actually the new AK is in both the 545 and 762 calibers.I really don't think the M4 will be replaced anytime soon. They may add more 7.62 rifles in units but the basic M4 will have a large presence for the foreseeable future. Even the Russians have moved away from the 7.62X39 after decades of experiance against the 5.56 caliber. There may be improvements....(piston operation?) but the platform and caliber will change little.
What we have is for the most part a lot better than what they have. Shot extensively with 2004-2010 era army vets and they were bitter about the general condition of their weapons.If they replaced it would they put the old ones up for sale as surplus LOL HEHE
Yep the LOL HEHE was the sarcasm in my post I know the government would not sale any firearms as surplus and like you said there probley junkWhat we have is for the most part a lot better than what they have.

Not bloody likely, at least not to the American civilian market... probably only to LEO/Govt Agencies under 1033 program, or just give them to NATO allies to use up (see Lebanon)If they replaced it would they put the old ones up for sale as surplus LOL HEHE
Seven decades of curmudgeonosity. Cool.They should literally bite the bullet and go to that caseless 6.5 or 6mm, whatever it is. The STG-44 got delayed because Germany was worried about range beyond 400 meters and "we have all this 7.92 to use up......" Transition to a new Infantry weapon isn't always fast and seamless. Just do it. SCAR seem,s to get mixed reviews.
Brutus out
Me, I still want a Garand but then I am into my 7th decade.
