Colt's Manufacturing Co. has won $57.7 million contract to supply up to 10,000 additional M4 and M4A1 5.56mm carbine rifles to Jordan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Senegal, Tunisia and Pakistan.

Work will be performed in West Hartford, Connecticut, with an estimated completion date of Sept. 20, 2019, US Department of Defense said in a statement Friday.

The Colt M4 is a shorter and lighter variant of the M16A2 assault rifle. It is air-cooled, direct impingement gas-operated, magazine-fed carbine. It has a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel and a telescoping stock.

In my opinion we must stick to the AKs because of its reliability and low cost compared to the ARs. The new AK variants have improved features plus their reliability availability and low cost.
