IMO, it was/is super foolish to not allow the adoption of the .223 to the 84M platform.
Fast twist with ample magazine length on the 84M is an easy sell - and it sounds like it's an easy transition for the company.... I'd drop whatever I was doing and buy one of those in a heartbeat!
There's a lot of money changing hands every year to create custom rifles with these very features.
I HOPE the Kimber folks are paying attention....
