You can put in a conversion for it to us AR 7.62x39 mags
Cool! I doubt the BHO T81 mag function could be made to work, but those mag may well work with the AK lower for those who have stockpiled them, plus any AK mags modded to fit the Type 81 should work with the lower too, plus you can swap in an AR-15 trigger if it's one of the compatible ones.
Furthermore, only IRG offers the 5.56mm "pistol" with the 14" Barrel and Bayonet Lug.

Also IRG doesn't allow Canadians to buy from their US site anymore...so no they don't.
the new price will make sure stock goes to zero asap hahaI got to handle one today and it is a sweet rifle. Everything seems quality. This model was in 16.5 inch barrel and it seems just right to me - just slightly front heavy which is fine. Aesthetically the rifle looks well balanced and proportioned with the 16.5 inch barrel.
I'm thinking perhaps that the 18.5 incher would be a little too front heavy and look a little too long.

The US version of 16.5" has a heavier barrel than the "pistol". I don't know what configuration of 16.5 the NS is getting from the EU though. Common sense said they should be the same.
But one word of caution here - these things are not Colt canada MRR or HK416. Accuracy opens up. The pistol barrel is skinny, the receiver over the barrel trunnion is not the most rigid approach with the two ears sticking out lay out. This means - You want a heavier barrel and..........
and it is best not to change the handguard with after market and, in general, consider the handguard as "something to take on and off' on a regular basis. The 4 torx screws are torqued to 70lb-inch using pneumatic tools. Not torquing these things properly ( without a torque wrench and guess-timating the torque) and evenly will give you trouble.
While the European ( NS version ) handguard that is made up of pieces and pieces are not great for attaching "tactical accessories " , it is a more rigid design in my opinion with the extra 2 torx screws at the 6' of the trunnion.

Well, it would have more velocity that's for sure. It wouldn't be more accurate, but it would make it easier to aim.
