It's good enough for you to use to market your own wares however.

Honestly, I think to get this to happen, the project scope has to be brought way in.
The AR platform will support almost everything everyone wants (minus the AK mags): wide selection of barrels, stocks, calibers, grips, 10 round mags, handguards, etc. All that is really needed is a single receiver or receiver set that is NR (a la ATRS MV), at a price that's reasonable and you can build it up however you like. I would propose the following:
1. Receiver set that is NOT AR pattern interchangeable (obviously), and is side charging (departs from AR pattern)
2. Takes all AR parts EXCEPT the bolt carrier and charging handle
3. Bolt carrier that cannot be accepted by an AR pattern rifle, but WILL take AR pattern bolts, and is side charging
4. Priced below $500 (difficult but not impossible)
With that you can buy low-end Chinesium parts and put together a fun plinker in your preferred caliber for sub $1K. Beyond that the sky's the limit. If such an option existed I'd buy 3 or 4 right off the line.
Thoughts?

First step will likely be the AR180B lower, then the upper.
Full gun price will be likely be under $1000.
I will also have them pull the sample M10X we have here and have a look. Maybe do it as well, with a few changed to lower the price
I'll edit this into my first post also.
I would like to see a complete modular system.
Also, both traditional and bullpup layouts, with many parts common to both layouts.
Something that can be swapped around and customized, and that has a lot of parts already made.
This obviously means using a lot of AR parts, but yet NOT an AR.
*AR-15 fire control group (FCG) parts (trigger, safety, etc). These parts are common, cheap, reliable, and approved as not FA.
*AR-15 barrel dimensions, but without barrel extension. Bolt head and barrel extension to have larger beefier lugs. Perhaps 3 lugs?
*Bolt head to have a larger diameter head to allow for larger dia cartridge heads to be chambered.
*Completely new bolt carrier, that cannot be deemed a "variant".
*AR-15 pistol grip.
*Short stroke gas system
*Adjustable gas system
*Recoil spring to telescope into rear of bolt carrier, to allow for a side folder or bullpup design
*"Classic" wood (like AK-47 or VZ52/57), or modern Aluminum and polymer. Ability to swap parts back and forth.
*Aluminum to have M-Lok mounts. Wood to be old-school.
*
Thoughts?
No kidding, seriously CanAmm being open about it, could definitely crowd fund a design and build, for us all, by us all.
