Cute, but I don't see it being offered at a price I'd be willing to pay. The NFA rules are part of the problem- without a tax stamp we're stuck with a 16" barrel, so it's at best a cumbersome pistol or really weak rifle. While I wouldn't mind a pistol caliber carbine, for that kind of thing I'd only be willing to part with $500-600 for one... that thing is likely to be at least $1000 or so.

However, if I could get a short barreled one without needing a tax stamp (don't want one badly enough to deal with NFA stuff) and then rig it for a suppressor, sure, I might consider a bit more for one.
