5.7x28's are being made. Very similar ballistics.

Nordic Componets should have one out by August 2008, and one in 17hmr as well.

The working prototypes were on display at the 2008 NRA show

Totally new design of the bolt and upper, not a ceiner retro.

check out this thread in rimfire central: www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227776

There are some pics in the thread that show the "17hummAR" upper, will be the same as the .22wmr upper (will be called "22hammAR")

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. I agree, that would be a hoot to shoot, methinks; less expensive than the 5.7 as well.

JAC is reportedly developing a .22WMR conversion, from there it's a short hop to dedicated unit.
