Marine Corps Systems Command officials in Quantico, Virginia, released information Thursday about the upgrades, which include a quick-change barrel, fixed headspace and timing, and a flash hider that reduces the machine gun’s signature by 95 percent at night.

The Army has had this for at least 4 years. it has its own issues but, it is a good weapon system if they follow instructions.

Headspace and timing is another thing these news guys will never have to learn. I don't think they shoot with iron sights either.

Wow I'm surprised this was not done like 25 years ago. Of course this will save lives.
