FN making M240 with new polymer buttstock

FN says the tree-hugging change comes in response to end users complaining about how hard it is to decontaminate wooded parts after exposure to nuclear, biological or chemical agents. There's no word on weight savings or how the change affects the cost of the weapon.

I'm wondering how that stock would do in the GearScout buttstock drop test? Whad'ya say FN? Want to send one over?
