Army Says 7.62mm Rifle Competition is not Dead Yet
« on: September 24, 2017, 02:39:25 am »
POSTED BY: MATTHEW COX SEPTEMBER 22, 2017
The commander of Program Executive Soldier today refuted recent media reports that the Army’s senior leadership has not killed a requirement to field a new 7.62mm Interim Service Combat Rifle capable of defeating enemy body armor.

“It is not dead. The decision has not been made,” Brig. Gen. Brian Cummings (P) told Military.com.

Cummings’s comments come a day after The FirearmBlog reported that the Interim Service Combat Rifle competition, which was launched in early August, has been cancelled.

Word is that last Friday morning, the Army’s G8, LTG John M Murray was on the range, firing the three GOTS candidates which might fulfill the requirement: the KAC M110, H&K M110A1 (G28) and FNH Mk17 (SCAR Heavy).

My son has the SCAR Heavy. They wouldn't go wrong picking that rifle, if you asked me.
