I saw an interview recently, I think NRA TV, where they were talking about changes to the law in Maryland (where Beretta is based) that could hinder their ability to manufacture semi auto firearms. The guy mentioned the guns they produce there and how the law would effect that, and noted the ARX-160.
So a roundabout mention of it, but it seems Beretta USA is at least thinking of producing it in the US, which would make a civilian version more likely for us up here.
Does anybody know if a civilian version is produced by Beretta in Italy? Or would it be up to Beretta USA to produce?
