As one of the few people ITT who has used a 240, it sucks to watch this. Marines love to complain but The Almighty M240B was truly above reproach. It's just that damn good. A 6.8 rebarrel with poly cases would be a tenth the cost and at least 9/10ths the improvement of anything else.
I will say though, I forget where I saw it, but there is a push from the top to simplify ammo logistics. They're trying to go from 5.56, 7.62, 338 Lapua magnum, 50 bmg, and 6.5 creed?? to just 6.8 sigger and 338 Norma mag. Most of that is a good idea but it's clearly forcing compromises that will/are degrading capability, which is double gay when the US is already the undisputed global logistics king.
Also full power 6.8 when? That round is vaporware unless I've missed something.
