New (to me) is this OIC 12(5) HK-93 5.56mm/.223 cal Sporting/Utility Rifle, purchased through Switzer's April 2026 Auction. It accepts proprietary 25, 30 and 40-round 5.56mm magazines, the latter being aluminum manufacture for light weight. Note the original South African ARMSON-brand Occluded-Eye Gunsight (OEG) in the 2nd photo, which was effectively the world's first mass-produced "red dot" sight in which one eye sees the dot on a black background and the other eye sees the target and surrounding terrain, over which the red dot appears. It takes some practice, but works quite well with some basic familiarity.

I have continuously owned at least one firearm in each Grandfathered 12(x) category for the past 23 years, thus maintaining my Grandfathered status for all but the full-automatics. I missed out on 12(2) in 1978 due to insufficient age. I have 12(3), (4), (5) and (6).
