I think there is potential in revisiting the en bloc clips. They are disposable and if put in modern arms chambered in 5.56 you could get clips of 15 rouns or more.
Maybe not that, but I see the fact that they auto eject as being useful.
When seconds can be the difference between life and death for our guys in the military it might be nice if on the BHO you could also set it to eject your mag when it's empty so you don't have to take your trigger finger away from being ready.
That might not be worth the hassle though haha and more parts means more stuff to break.

Still waiting for my Garand from CMP!
