SOCOM drops MK-16 SCAR for M-4, buys more MK-17s
"In an exclusive report for Military.com we reveal that US Spec Ops Command has abandoned the 5.56 version of the SCAR and will use FY 2011 money to buy more 7.62 Mk-17s to fill a “capability gap” for a 7.62 battle rifle."

Interesting. I need to knock on some SOCOM doors and see if I can get some parts for the MK16 (I have one). I really want a 10" barrel, a new piston set, and a new lower receiver group (i.e. the stuff that wears out). I should probably get a spare buttstock as well.
Thanks for the info.
