I have a lot of logistical questions about this...just a pondering thought, where are they getting their supply of 5.56 from? Its a country full of 7.62x39/7.62x54R...good old Soviet weapons stock. So now they must rely on someone else for a new type of ammo supply? Are WE sending them the ammo? Is Colt building the rifles, or FN, or are they our old shot out colts we decided to leave there? Love to know the real reason this arms deal took place.

"A system that registers each rifle with the individual who receives it using biometric data such as thumb prints and eye scans is meant to address concerns over U.S. weapons winding up in enemy hands. A July 2007 Government Accountability Office report concluded that as many as 190,000 weapons delivered to the Iraqi army were not accounted for and could've wound up in terrorist caches." ???
