    I've known it was a real concept but . . .

    I was pining for a modern designed, polymer leveraged carbine like a modern M1 Carbine weighing 5-6 lbs, handle optics, could come as a semi auto or pump, in intermediate calibers 10mm - maybe 300 BO.

    Per the Recoil link:

    Applications were filed the beginning of November 2019, and were published in the first half of April.

    My assumption is that the quick change barrel system would preclude that.

    I will admit I’m curious if this will happen. I’m also skeptical we would see it here.

    Like most European gun companies Glock primarily sees their market as GOV/MIK/LE. There’s no institutional market for what you describe.

    I’m curious. I’m hoping it’s relatively inexpensive compared to its competitors.

    You might have to settle for an antique M1 carbine. I've thought about putting a red dot on mine but if I can ring steel with it at 200 yds what's the point?
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    It would help if they make it in Georgia.

    Importing these from Austria in some type of sport or configuration and then converting them would just add to the cost.

    i'm reminded of when Magpul first announced the Masada. Lets just hope Glock doesn't farm out the USA version to Bushmaster.

    Highly unlikely. At that time Magpul was still a small company which had never produced guns, where as Glock is a medium to large company with well established production facilities in the US.

    My understanding is Magpul merely licensed Bushmaster to make the Masada. Magpul still owns the design and could produce it or license it to someone else if they thought demand was there long term.
