DPMS also makes a comparable carbine they call an AP4 I think.

The SR-25K is a piece of shit in my very limited experience and my singular personal opinion.

HK used to make a shortened G3-style carbine (HK 51?).
There are actually quite a number of weapons out there now.

As far as the SR-25K, I rank it with the rest of Knight's junk.

As far as the 6.5/6.8 controversy, unless it is developed to the point where I go to Joe blow and get ammo from him them you will eventually have a club instead of a rifle. Give it only to the Spec Ops, as has been mentioned before, and you have a signature round. All bad.

Heck Gene, there are a bunch of ballisticlly superior rounds out there, but they are not compatible with other systems and that severely limits ammo distribution or becomes a signature round. Or there are other sever draw backs such as barrel life.

My 2 cents.
