" maybe make a few duckets on the side bets ! etc etc.....:o)"

What's the current over/under on the XM-8 being adopted, and with what caliber? I've got some live fish in my squadron interested in this, too.

Oh, and they ALL want a semiauto-only civvie version, ESPECIALLY if it's in 6.8mm.

The hunters figure it'll be great for deer up in Maine.

The only SWAG I'm making this year is that the Beretta M9 is reaching it's service life and the contract is supposedly going to be put back up for bid. I am just guessing but SIG has just come out with the GSP 1911A1 Clones as has Short 'n Whimpy Inc (S&W). I am thinking Uncle Sugar is going back to the 45 ACP and John Brownings best design in the near future and S&W and SIG want to be ready to submit a sample with all the bugs worked out by us civy shooters. (Every get shot in the civies ?)

I've not followed the XM8 process so I'm not even gonna guess on that. I think the 6.8 SPC has a good chance as does the AK variant of the AR that takes AK Mags from Reed Knight's little shop of horrors.

Keep me posted and Stay Safe out there !
