| You've done a great run on the entire AR/M16 family, done the M14 and T48 rifle. Next step: AR-180 (that uses AR mags). |

If they had endless development money and wanted to stay true to the History of H&R A modernized Reising Model M50 and M55 to compete with the Ruger PCC that has traditional gun profile? 9mm version that takes Uzi mags, threaded barrel A pistol version with an M55 profile wood stock and 50 state legal PCC rifle version. |

There are going to be more T48 rifles. The M14 program was limited do to using USGI parts. It made no sense to try and compete with Springfield. And it makes even less sense to do it now with the CMP jumping in. As far as the AR-180; I still have the NDS-18S in my stable, but sales were poor for Armalite when they did the “B” model . Do we really need another 5.56 black rifle? |

Do we really need another 5.56 black rifle? Mike, the answer is always yes. We need more firearms. Peace thru superior firepower. |

Do we really need another 5.56 black rifle? Of course. This is my NDS-18S build and saving my Sterling lower.
