Awesome as in new to those troops, anticipation of shooting the new rifle etc, perhaps your right old Lee could do the job but other variables play in, 7.62 or 308 is standard in our forces so supply should be there.
I remember when we phased out the FN's and the first crate of C7's arrived, we opened the wrapping, cleaned 'em, in varsol just to have some turn white ' ish in color, I remember the SgtMajor tearing us a new arse, then came the forestocks falling off, then came the training and off to the range just to have feeding issues, mag issues, on and on and on but we got through this and now got a battle proven weapon at what cost???
These fellas hopefully wont go through that process hopefully and enjoy the weapon issued to them...time will tell.
