A new Armalite essentially, this is what should have happened 30 or 40 years ago rather than going down the SA80 bullpup route. Back in the 1980's some regiments trialed the M16 which was a well liked rifle, certainly better than the cock up that was SA80, the mk 1 anyway.

After the fiasco of the SA80 perhaps going back to buying a proven foreign design is the wise course.

The bean-counters would no doubt agree.

After the fiasco of the SA80 perhaps going back to buying a proven foreign design is the wise course. The A2 & A3 versions of the SA80 are a foreign design anyway made by Heckler and Koch in Germany, but not ambidextrous. There were left hand versions of the original rifle, but not the later variants.
This is an ambidextrous AR-15.
It's passed tests, the military love it.
