Man we're lacking diversity! It's so annoying how the world offers SO MUCH and we get so little. I know laws are the major hurdle but seriously, there has to be ways to get sub-$1,000 "battle quality" 5.56mm rifles that use ar15 mags in the US.
Daewoo K2
Indonesian Pindad SS-1 (FNC copy, because you know straight from FN would cost a ridiculous price)
SR88 from Singapore
And what ever happened to those CETME L rifles when Spain switched to G36E? They should be chopped up and set here as parts kits.
I'm pretty sure there's more but rifles like AR90, Tavor, Famas, etc are probably going to be more than $1,000 if they were to hit US streets. And stuff like L85's may be pretty much impossible to acquire.
All I ever see are keltecs , ar180b's whos lower is garbage , and those that don't use ar mags are old, ergonomically obsolete platforms like ak's, galils, etc, with their mags getting more and more expensive everyday or expensive from day one because of their "one of a kind" status (I HATE proprietary accessories because of that. The soviets were getting it right...AN AK MAG FOR THE WHOLE WORLD! Wal-Mart couldn't even sell them at a lower price. ) .
I mean rifles like SIG556, xcr, etc, that run about 1000-1400 aren't THAT expensive, but that's all you see in the US market. It's retarded.
And every once in a while you'll see some total BS like an MSAR STG556 that's mags are proprietary and cost like $35+ or more each, and the rifle costs around $1,500. Then another company comes along saying "hey our version uses ar15 mags", but the damn rifle runs $2,000+!?!?
