Springfield Armory's SAINT
Springfield Armory is jumping in to AR market with SAINT. This is an interesting development since 30 years or so ago, Springfield Armory was sued by Colt for attempting to make ARs by buying Daewoo's parts. There is not reliable source of the agreement they reached up on, but one thing that stands out from The Firearm Blog's article is abundance of BCM related things.
