Remington's LWRACS could be an upgrade for the USMC M40

• The new handguard has a smaller diameter than its bigger brother
• A one piece fore end with a split top rail
• The hinged butt stock is now removable
• Separate indexed coarse and micro-fine adjustments for butt stock length and cheek pad height
• Tool-free butt stock pad position adjustment
• The 7075 aluminum chassis weighs 4.5 pounds

Remington reps tell me that the LW-RACS may hit the commercial market in some form in 2012.
