Any one seen or have this?.

Available soon, the new AR-57 Upper Receiver. This highly anticipated upper is a direct replacement for your standard AR upper that will allow you to shoot the FNH 5.7 round. This upper requires no FFL to purchase or receive, and we can ship directly to your home!

The AR-57 platform empowers the operator with 50 rounds of firepower while keeping the magazine out of the way, increasing maneuverability and speed in close quarters conflicts. In addition to it's compact, snag-free design, the spent shells are directed straight towards the floor by exiting the standard AR magwell.

The upper receiver and rails are precisely milled from a monolithic block of aircraft grade 7075 T6 aluminum. Any sighting systems mounted on the rails will stay zeroed through the toughest of missions.

Designed with reliability as its primary feature. There is no gas system to become clogged with carbon or fouling and maintenance is a snap. The bolt and chamber stay clean through extended shooting sessions.

This new offering defines "High speed, low drag".
 
Well, if you already had an AR and happened to be an enthusiast for the 5.7x28 round, it would give you a long gun to go with your 5-7 pistol for about half the cost of a PS90.

Definitely a niche gun, but I'm sure there'll be some takers.
 
If I had the green I would go for it. They have a pretty good idea going for them.

They could even make a custom brass catcher that fits into the mag well. It would secure, out of the way, and ensure you don't lose/stomp on your brass.

Just cut the feed lips off of an existing magazine and remove the spring/follower.

That made me NEARLY want one, but then I saw the ballistics of the cartridge and realized why I didn't want one in the first place. .223 is weak enough, I don't need to go weaker.
 
I handled Eric's gun at the last Dallas gun show. The mag release is not bad but could take some getting used to. You will have to unlearn what you have learned about the AR charging handle. Old habits die hard.The gun looks odd with the 5.7 mag on it. But I want one!!!!
