So the internet knows a sample VHS K3 was imported a few years ago and there was a video or pic of one being shot at the Springfield HQ.  This was actually shot at HS Produkt's factory.

You guys planning on ever making that a product line?  I'd be a very interested buyer.  

"Now you can own that weird-looking bullpup from Far Cry 5 and 6!"    Think of the marketing possibilities!  (Of course, replicating my favorite guns from video games IS a selling point for me...)

ETA - Look how much space there is in this pic for another Springfield, like a 5.56 that isn't an AR!

That would be really cool.  Do you happen to know where I could find the picture of photo of us shooting one.  I haven’t seen it?

I did some digging, and apparently it was a video clip from HS Produkt showing one being shot, inside of a Facebook video by SA.

About 1:40 into this one: https://www.facebook.com/SpringfieldArmoryUSA/videos/621201824953725

Ugh, I hate being wrong.  I'll edit my post.  

Still a cool gun though.

That's the sample in raw non-922R "sporting" form that got imported.  Certainly makes you appreciate the efforts that go into restoring these to useful configurations.  

I'd guess it'd look a lot like like the VHS K2 variant when fixed up:

If so, it’s perfect, thank you Springfield!  I’m going to be on that like white on rice.  Can’t wait to get one.

Might suggest you guys make them available as a value-add accessory?  The mag well isn’t a countable part and you could advise customers to only use Magpul G36 mags for 922R compliance.

CZ did this with the Bren 805 guns and I bought two of them despite only having one Bren.

I'd buy one, too, if even just for the novelty. So you've already got a customer base of at least two!

What's the chances of the integrated sight version coming later on?
