Not for a while. It is still in the prototype T&E stage. Once all the quirks are worked out and it enters production, we'll probably get a neutered version.

I like it, but (like many others) think they need to remove the rail on gas block and shorten the muzzle break.

They have plans to make civilian models. It's primarily made for export. Maybe you'll see it some time around 2013-2014.

Perhaps the rail on the gas block is for a detachable front sight? I've heard that moving the front sight over to the gas block improves the balance, but I can't confirm that. The longer muzzle brake is most likely for more control on fully automatic. The Russians were never satisfied with the accuracy of the AK on full auto, and have always sought to improve that.

Why 12? 12 gauge?
The Eastern diamond rattlesnake was the symbol of the American Revolution. The Gadsden flag is a historic American flag with it's yellow field depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike and with the words underneath "DON'T TREAD ON ME".

I'd like to see a shorter one (100 series?), with unitized FSB/GB.

Philosophy majors: asking the important questions. Such as, "WHY would you like fries with that?"

The more recent demo models don't have the railing on the gas block, so that was likely some test idea they had that didn't pan out.
