US Army Considers Adopting an Interim Battle Rifle in 7.62NATO: eventually adopt 6.5

[ricsmall]

Sounds like a waste of money to me. If you're going to transition to a completely new platform anyway, go ahead and adopt the 260 or 6.5 CM. Why go the interim route? Ammo availability? SMH. I would think the weight on the larger platform will be too much for some to bear. If the 5.56 has worked this long, why can't someone see the sensibility in swapping to Grendel? Just my common sense thoughts. I'm sure I'm missing something.

I may get flamed a bit by the guys that have been there and done that, but I'll take it as well as I give it!! Lol.
