Looks great, I wonder how the boys in the lab will conspire to call it a variant of something that it isn't.

I wonder which 7.62 cartridge they are taking about? x51, x25, x39.

Oooh, maybe 30-06. That world be nice, but I don't think that fits in AR mags, does it?

I'd almost guarantee x39. God would I love a x25 though. Unfortunately x51 and definitely 30-06 requires a lot more re-engineering than they deem acceptable.
 
Delay roller OS firearms are usually not cheap. The 9mm Angstadt is like 2500 USD.

Also it will get into the tricky thing with roller.

They will very likely call it a MP5 or HK33 variant and ban it on the spot lol.

Roller-delayed, therefore it must be a G3 variant.

The SL-7 and HK 770 are deemed OK, and those are both roller delayed. The SL-7 is restricted because the barrel is a fraction of an inch too short.
Not that the firearms lab is ever consistent, just food for thought.

"Must" be?

There are roller delayed firearms that aren't on the bad-gun list. Cetme for one...
