See with the FRN's getting approved for a non suppressed AS-VAL model, the Motiuk SA-80, and this rifle I'm getting pizza party vibes. You know how when the pizza places around the Pentagon get massive orders right before something bad happens because the feds are rewarding everyone with a pizza party before dropping some heavy shit? That's kinda what I think is happening, they're passing a bunch of semi auto cool things with NR/R FRN's but give it 6 months and they'll blanket ban every semi auto and restrict the sks to sustenance hunters only.

I hope I'm dead wrong but that's what it feels like to me

What's the non suppressed AS-VAL?

It's like the as-val, sans suppressor

I was slightly mistaken, it was a version of the vss vintorez and it's a unsuppressed version, so instead of an integrally suppressed barrel it's a 16" ( I believe) mosquito barrel. Made by Molot, it was approves with an R status last year
