Arms of America I believe is the only one doing anything close to that. They were selling I think Yugo M72 RPK Kit builds that they were building, with KONO/MARS/DIABLO style AK FRTs installed.

I agree though it will be a BIG improvement on the market space with a firearms manufacturer either partners with an FRT/SS company, or one company just does both tasks, and builds and tunes the system around the FRT/SS function.

In time.

IMO, and this doesn't go for ALL instantiations of FRT/SS/FRS forced reset mechanisms, but it does go for some and increasingly more, they're not "gimmicks" nor are they "useless". They're at the point in their development where IMO they're on par with say like a budget nitride bear creek arsenal or Anderson AR15, or like a PSA AK. They're in this interesting space where they are certainly not true military/duty/2A relevant tools with all the R&D and T&E that is necessary to call something a real firearm or piece of life saving liberty maintaining equipment, but they're also not strictly speaking "toys" or "gimmicks".

With some tuning and component selection there are plenty of people myself included who are getting upwards of 1000 rounds of flawless function out of their forced reset setups. On the other hand, myself included, there are people that are getting broken components out of the box or systems that are not functioning reliably from the start. In that sense they're like a PSA AK or a budget cheap AR15.

Am I confident it is going to make it 10k rounds or 30k rounds or 90k rounds like a real HK MP5 or Russian AKM or Colt M4? Ehh, it might, but probably not. Is it going in that direction? Hopefully?
