Afternoon Geoff,

I wonder if we will see a calibre shift by then, I suppose its up to the Americans to make that decision and we all follow along. There are some hugely promising new designs out there, including a few very interesting bull-pubs, the Desert Tech MDR for instance, with its easy change calibres seems to me to offer enormous development potential and would seem a natural fit for a military used to the bull pup concept.

All flight of fancy stuff I am sure, but I would love to see licence manufacture here in the UKicon too.
