STAR has also been making new designs for mechboxes where CA just uses ver.2 and ver.3. CA did design a new mechbox for the M249 but as far as I know thats it for their own inventions (other than minor gun tweaks.) So STAR isn't playing catchup with CA, STAR is just expanding into armalites where CA is more well known, taking them on at their own game.

Yeah I meant they were catching up in the Armalite department. I agree with you in the fact that STAR is trying new things with mechboxes and stronger metals, but currently in our Canadian market CA is far more popular and accessible than STAR.
On a side note RPK-7 FTW!!!
