South Carolina-based FN America beat out a crowd of other vendors to land a whale of a military contract for new M4s.

The company was awarded a $119,216,309 firm-fixed-price contract for a mix of two 5.56 NATO-caliber weapons– the M4 Carbine, NSN: 1005-01-382-0973, and M4A1 Carbine, NSN: 1005-01-382-0953. The contract, awarded by Picatinny Arsenal on behalf of Project Manager – Soldier Lethality (PM SL), was made public on Thursday and stemmed from a March 2019 solicitation for which six bids were submitted.

As detailed by the solicitation, “The M4/M4A1 Carbines provide the Department of Defense with compact, lightweight weapons that fire NATO 5.56mm ammunition from a 30-round magazine, mount the latest generation of fire control accessories and enablers, and provide increased protection and firepower in close quarters.”

Saw this on another forum. The comments at the link would be great FNFC fodder.

I happened to be at the right place at the right time a few months ago and got the chance to view a few brand new FN M4s, while I’m no expert or anything, I thought they were extremely good looking weapons.
 
Wait, FN is based out of SC? That makes it easier to finally get one as I have been on the fence about getting one
Yep. That’s why (or at least one reason) they’ve been partnered up with PSA for awhile.
