HK also released a new upper for the M4 that uses the same gas-piston

But other than that, it's basically a very high-quality M4 upper that
the DOD *should* be buying in massive quantities instead of hoping the
new Plastic Fantastic can survive widespread troop abuse.

And, for those of you who already have an upper but want a gas
piston, Kurt's Kustom Firearms has made a gas piston retrofit kit
called the M9 Evo (or something like that). Very cool.
