I'd found an Army Times article that confirms what you're saying, Lebell, but I can't locate the bloody thing now, sorry. It basically says that by 2005, the Army is hoping to start replacing the M-16a2 with a specially built variant of the G-36K. The idea is to bring in the G-36, get the troops used to it, and then add in the other elements of the weapon system as they come down in weight and meet functionality benchmarks.
Can't find the damned URL.
