If the SCAR is going to be adopted in the US military then why start another program? Here the thing about the military, even if your product past the testing it does not means that it will be adopted.
In order for a future rifle to replace the AR it needs to suppress the AR15 in every categories. That's not going to happen because all these weapons are repackage from old design that was developed 50+ years ago. The difference is new name and new material but the same soul.

I did not say the SCAR-L/MK16 Mod 0 was being adopted by the US Military. I said The SCAR system is coming on line right now for Special Ops and would be no problem to go system wide with it. FN has produced over 100,000 SCAR-L/MK16 Mod 0 Rifles to date for USSOCOM. The are competing for the Marine Corp IAR program at this time. So if this new ACR program coming up what weapons are going to compete and how do you know that the SCAR is not one of them? Also I would not count on Bushmaster to much they still have a big QA problem as the M4 in Orange County Sheriff Dept that came from Bushmaster are junk.
