few minor changes like the furniture

And the fire control group, and the barrel design, and the reenforcement on the back of the receiver. The redesign of the sights is not merely cosmetic as fixed sights are more tied to rifles than removable. With those, and the other changes all standardized into one design.

And that somehow makes it a different platform than before, which is why they called it the m16a2 instead of the m17? We're talking the Rifle of Theseus here.
