    Given production stopped in 1994 the receivers are at a minimum, 30 years old at this point. The MoD may want a domestic supplier, but BAE tore those facilities down decades ago after privatization. There’s no competition - if you issue optics and want the best for your ‘pocket army’, it’s a 416 variant or FN SCAR.

      was gonna say, I’m not exactly a gun guy, but when playing Modern Warfare the FN SCAR with ACOG scope was always my favorite. Bad guys go down relatively quick and the scope works even after an EMP (IIRC).
