A friend of mine just told me that some of the old military M16s were being sent back to Colt to be remanufactured into new M4s. I got the impression about the only thing they kept was the lower receiver and maybe the trigger group, sold off the rest to the surplus market (where legal) or scrapped it (where not). So..
1 -- any truth to this?
2 -- what's the conversion cost to Colt, if true, compared to just making new carbines?
