Looks like A2's are coming out of the woodwork these days. I'm calling that a good thing.

Not surprising while we enjoy this A2 Renaissance.

The question remains however, where the hell is Armalite? Retro is still hot and they should be reaping the proverbial hay.

Thats what I was thinking. If anything, Armalite could license the name to H&R/PSA

Is Armalite even still in business?

I'd be curious to know what the Springfield rep means by "internal tweaks and modifications".

Nothing you'll see in the initial models after cutting this and that to make a profit.

If BCM makes an A2 I'll buy one.

They alluded to M4 feedramps in the video.  It wouldn’t surprise me if the production model has a nitride barrel and 9310 bolt.

I bet it's not chrome lined.

Does anyone else remember--back in the day--when a certain mfr of AR's and parts, and whose name begins with "D," used half-a-page of their website to say, "U DON'T NEEEEEEEEED A CHROMRE-LINED BARREL!!!!" ?

To this day you’ll see websites saying how nitride is better than chrome lining. We all know it’s cheaper and easier

They didn’t mention the most important feature: Gov’t Profile Barrel? Hopefully it’s not a damn HBAR…that would be an instant deal breaker.

Non USGI spec parts, not interchangable.
