SF has been using the .458 SOCOM round for a while in thier 14.5" M-4s.
I've even seen some ODA guys running around with 10" .458s.
All you need is a different upper and you have it, but I would say between the "poodle shooter" and the .458 you should be fine.
I've seen .308 uppers as well.

Have you ever shot anyone with a .223? It's not as much of a slouch as you would think. Unfortunately my best friend in Iraq has had to "take casualties" and the M-4/M-16 did the trick every time.MikeJ wrote:While they're at it, why not dump the 5.56 x 45mm poodle shooter and go back to 7.62 x 51mm?
