A few, they actually pulled them from the front reportedly but i guess now they're back with added protection

Even in Iraq and Afghanistan it was commonplace to have the m1's equipped with the anti-rpg cages. Can't imagine why they would take them off. I'd think they would offer some protection and a good frame for a closer knit if needed.

@Railing5132 @fluxion Not military, but guessing that it had to do with weight in transport. Surely that can be replaced?

Sounds credible, I suppose, but what's a few hundred pounds when shipping a multi-ton box of rolling armor and pew-pew?
