It was an innovative Armalite design which went nowhere until Colt bought the design, LeMay tried it and ordered it for the AF. There was a big push to standardize weapons, the Army bought into it, fielded a gun in Vietnam with no chromed bore or chambers, almost zero cleaning kits, changed the powder and bunch of boys died because of jammed/broken rifles....they spent years working to get it working.</p></blockquote><p></p>
