AWESOME! Where do I sign up? Seriously, fuck HK and their bullshit. If they want to sell me an AR-15, it had better be compatible with all the other AR-15s I own. It had better fit on to a full auto lower. A gas piston upper that doesn’t work with normal AR-15 uppers? AWESOME! Where do I sign up?

For me and most everyone I've talked to, it's more of a Dane Cook effect: not aggressively "bad", but not the huge deal a lot of people (and price tags) make it out to be. Tends to create negative reactions where merely bland feelings exist. Re the "export regulations", though, why couldn't HK use U.S. based manufacturing facilities? Not rhetorical... I'm really asking. Do they have any? Really it's not like they'll be selling these to any other civilians on the planet.

Way to miss the point of the system, HK... KsR Yeah, they relocated the rear pin 6mm off so you can’t use the HK upper or lower with any other upper or lower.

More than it's worth. 2. More than I would ever pay. 3. Have a long line of buyers who could care less. I don’t know what the price will be but I’m pretty sure it will be:

I talked to their reps at <a href="http://www.gregandbeth.com/blog/index.php?action=view&id=1167" rel="nofollow">SOFIC</a> last year, and they told me these civilian versions of their rifles were going to be released "soon".
