    Quite a change from a company that only made M1As and 1911s for decades until 2002.
    Springfield is only the importer. This rifle is designed and made in Croatia. The select fire version of this gun is actually picked as the service rifle for the Croatian army.

    The reported reliability, accuracy, and features of these rifles are incredible. The controls leave something to be desired but it's still an amazing rifle.

    The Croatians ran 50000 rounds through a VHS 2 rifle as an endurance test and it didn't have a single parts breakage. The gun has been adopted by 2 militaries already - Croatia and Iraq, has been tested in combat and operated in adverse desert conditions and was purchased by the FBI in a small batch for 'reasons'. These guns are quality with years of development behind them. There are three 'clunky' controls which are a stiff safety switch, a bolt release that isn't the same as an AR 15, and a characteristic mushy bullpup trigger which is supposed to be around 8 pounds. These are all things that can be fixed. There were actually 4 cons with the original VHS, the fourth being that the gun took proprietary magazines. The VHS 2 Now takes steel AR mags, PMags, e.g. anything you could fit in your AR fits in this thing. I'm surprised I haven't seen more companies try and work with Springfield to get these into the country and be Canada compliant. I know Tac Imports already said they stopped pursuing VHS imports.
