Deets on the Robinson?
Are they vaporware? Honestly 2500 bucks aint crazy |

If they have trouble with scaling MP5 production I can’t help but think a Stoner would be beyond their reach for the time being. That’s a lot of stampings.
There was a belt fed version of the AR10, figuring out how to down size that to 556 would probably be easier for them. |

If they make it as modular as the original, I'd love one.
Mostly I just want the Bren configuration. |
|
If they could keep the price reasonable (sub $1k ideally) I'd be really, really tempted.
Of course, I'd be really, really tempted if they could get a belt fed AR upper too, so I'm a bit of a whore for novelty. A cheap/frugal whore, but a whore nonetheless. |

That would enable every alleged SEAL who served in Vietnam to be able to buy one.
Id probably buy one too. |

I think the dude in the thread asking what guns his outfit should knock off said there were some licensing issues that made it prohibitive? Can't seem to find the thread. Maybe it got nuked?
ETA: Found it He says Knight's owns the IP |

For that price, Hell yes I would buy one.
But PSA (or no one else) will be able to do one for that price. |

Quoted: Robinson charges too much for their M96. View Quote Robinson can eat a bag of dicks! After they abruptly abandoned the M96 and after years of telling owners they had no spare parts they suddenly come up with enough spare parts to do a small run of new production ones using old parts. I would love to see somebody else take up the mantle. Even if it wasn’t a true Stoner 63 clone and more like the Robinson I would be ok with that. |

Nothing but love for PSA. But seriously, until they execute a stamped submachinegun project that Pakistani's and Turks can get done, I'm hesitant to add to the development workload.
And once the Mp5 is finally done, it's SVD time. |

No. They can’t even give us the MP5 or multiple Dagger models.

And once the Mp5 is finally done, it's SVD time. View Quote To be fair to PSA, the Turks & Pakis had HK set up their production lines, PSA is reverse engineering it for a picky & litigious civilian market, not for a military that can handle rolling fixes/upgrades. |

Id buy one at 2x the price but I'd be in for at least 3 for $1K! I don't think it's possible to make one for under $1500 at cost for them. Too bad RA stopped making their version of the 63....

Quoted: IIRC, Robinson mentioned bringing it back during SHOT 2020. I have no idea of the current status.

Quoted: I think they were going to use up what parts they had and build what they could,but that pretty much would be the end of parts for owners of the rifles. View Quote Sounds like a shit move on their part. I would really like to see someone else start building a Stoner clone or clonish rifle... |

They need to make a Smith & Wesson M76/Carl Gustaf M/45 ("Swedish K") clone.
I have spoken. |
|
PSA should make a beltfed or beltfed upper.
ETA In this thread I learned there is a beltfed option. Carry on. |

I have a M96 but would pick up another clone, especially if spare parts were in the offing. Mine is pleasant to shoot but I'm a bit worried about breaking something.

View Quote MK Arms, Special Weapons, and Omega did just that .....they couldn't sell enough to warrant production These threads are like watching an 8 year old in the 1970's go thru the Sears catalog and circle everything they want for Christmas |
