Default FNH changes story...

So NOW FNH is saying SOCOM isn't buying the Mark 16 after previously refuting said rumor and stating that SOCOM IS buying the Mark 16.

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...he-scar-mk-16/

I wonder when they'll issue a statement refuting the statement that refuted the rumor that SOCOM wasn't buying Mark 16s...

Maybe they thought if they just said SOCOM was buying it even if they weren't that would force them to buy it to save face and not look like dicks but then it didn't work because you can't fool with SOCOM like that and they threatened to send some people over if they didn't redact the statement.

It doesn't really surprise me, TBH. The market has been flooded with AR piston systems that perform just as well as the SCAR-L all while being much cheaper to buy. I'm not a member of SOCOM and so won't pretend to know their needs, but the Mark 16 just seemed redundant.
