    If you can make $1000 non-restricted AR, why don't you make $1000 non-restricted AK that accepts AK mags? May be based on SKS?

    Otherwise my vote goes for STANAG mags. AR should shoot AR mags even in 7.62x39.

    I like the idea of 10 round pistol mags, but those 30 round ar mags look ugly as sin. I would rather have 5 round ak mags just for the look!

    Thats basically the type 81 you just described..

    Not to mention that m10x non ak, for an extra grand.

    as much as AK mags would be the best choice for proper function,that would make no buisness sense,and require a major re-design of the lower,which would again mean RCMP inspection,long,,LONGGGGGGG wait time,quickest best most economical solution,regular lower with AR mags,faster to get to manufacturing and into people's hands,those who just have to have AK mags saying they wont buy one is a very tiny portion of sales,garanteed if they offered a pre sale today for 1000 Ar mag 7.62x39 rifles,they would sell out as fast as the first bunch did,and i'm pretty sure even some of the Ak mag guys would jump in,i gotta say,this rifle design is pretty clever,to bad the original design didn't have a interchangeable magwell,that would have made things a bit easier for the Ak mag guys,but all these detail would keep driving up the price,NOT what this rifle was intended to be,this thing is intended to finally bring a NR semi with an AR look for a non budget busting price,and it seems to have done that pretty nicely.

    If you plan on exporting this rifle to the US and overseas eventually you should not base your decision on the 5 or 10 round mag limitations.
    I think an AK mag version would be a nice alternative and you will reach a much wider base, even just in Canada.
    I'm sure the aftermarket, or you would take care of building and making money off of AR mag adapters.

    I don't understand the whole redesign will cost more bit people are talking about. This rifle had to be designed as well... it is not an exact replica, some things are different and needed design time and they are still $995. Designing a mag well is not rocket science and cnc's cut what they are told too... no new tooling is required

    If a new frt is required for the AK version you could start making ×39 uppers as a conversion kit in the meantime and everyone is happy.
