Now someone can ask me how I really feel.

Exactly.
It will only get worse as we drive gun manufacturers out of business, and foreign nations subsidize their weapons industries.
If I were looking right now, I would strongly consider the H&K improved closed gas system upper, an improved bolt/extractor like the LMT dual spring design, and possibly a quick change 10"-20" barrel and fixed and collapsible stock options, all of which are currently available. I would dump all mags older than three years in favor of new mags with an expiration date, and consider steel H&K type mags for most users. I would switch all conventional ammo to the 77gr. Mk 262 round, and equip Spec Ops with the LeMas ammo.
Just my .02, YMMV.
