Roninson Arms M96 coming back?

[bfiles]

Kind of like the M96. However inferior.

Yeah if you want to compare a Pinto to the rolls Royce of all AK's

Didnt I sell you a used Swiss Arms for 3400$ years ago?!?!?!?

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!):

Im not comparing the two. Thats why I said the M96 is inferior. I was giving examples of supply and demand. That Swiss Arms was for a friend in Canmore.

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

Bhahahahah some people dont get it. Why even try Steve.

I surrender lol

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.

Ah my.bad. thought you meant the M78 x39 wasnt.worth it compared to the m96.

I"m not saying thats the only calibre... rob arms is known for products that work with many calibres.

Do you have any information about the post on Robinson Arms facebook account regarding bringing back the M96 ? The post was from a few days back. Any word how soon this could happen? If its soon ,I would like too put down a deposit.

Cheers

Robarm has been saying this since 2006.

The last realistic story was that they were going to do a run of repair parts.

That hasn't happened either.
