The M96 "Expeditionary" Rifle cost $2200 when it was first imported into Canada back around the 1998 timeframe. I had one of the first two in Canada, Mr Wolverine had the other...
This one is no longer in my collection, but I will be the first in line (again) if they return to production. A new source of spare parts would no doubt be very welcomed by current owners, allowing them to fire without fear of parts breakage (mostly bolts).
Hopefully Robarm will finally deliver on the oft-promised but never delivered Belt-Feed Conversion kit for the M96. Although Arex/Fightlite have now beaten Robinson Armament to the punch with the MCR Belt/Mag-fed AR15 Upper Receiver (which runs like a top!):

Scared to shoot my M96 and break it... parts will be nice... as they are a very cool gun... always wanted a bren conversion with an actual non rest length barrel
just putting this up there but if they want to kill it in the cad market come up with a belt fed that works with pre 1945 belts.
