<P> On 21 April 2012 , the U.S. Army announced to begin purchasing over 120,000 M4A1 carbines to start reequipping front line units from the original M4 to the new M4A1 version . The first 24,000 were to be made by Remington Arms Company . Remington was to produce the M4A1s from mid-2013 to mid-2014 . After completion of that contract , it was to be between Colt and Remington to produce over 100,000 more M4A1s for the U.S. Army . Because of efforts from Colt to sue the Army to force them not to use Remington to produce M4s , the Army reworked the original solicitation for new M4A1s to avoid legal issues from Colt . On 16 November 2012 , Colt 's protest of Remington receiving the M4A1 production contract was dismissed . Instead of the contract being re-awarded to Remington , the Army awarded the contract for 120,000 M4A1 carbines worth $77 million to FN Herstal on 22 February 2013 . The order is expected to be completed by 2018 . </P>
