I can’t believe colt is making a 240! Super crazy world. I couldn’t beleive the first time I was issued an FN made M16.

  +1 on that, Ben
  I had no idea that FN also made M-16s until years ago in Basic when I saw FN stampings on my weapon and barrel. Puzzled the sh!t out of me. No one told me, so how else would I have known.
  
  Don’t know why there is so much vetted interest in the 240 platform still. The Mk 48 is pretty good and I saw quite a few in Afghanistan (not nearly in the numbers of the legacy 240B of course).
