I don't know if it's been mentioned here, and I don't know if any are left but I found this... https://youtu.be/eMbMh3Ov2bQ
interesting vid, thanks for sharing. thumb1 ........... now to go check out J&G
"New" only as in the fact it's a Bosnian rebuilt, typically scrubbed, reserialized, rebarreled by TRB, it's a Cali legal rifle, with the muzzle brake installed and evil launcher removed. That is a G16 variant, and upgraded version of the first G10 rifle, which did not have a muzzle brake, only a barrel stub. We have discussed them, in fact a few years ago, the G10 variant caused a huge stink, being toted and sold as a M59 when it was a chopped/rebuilt M59/66. They must be made and imported in small lots, because they last maybe a year in vendors listings and then vanish.

Well there you go...
So... more came in and they are calling them a G16?

J&G had them.. had a M14 style muzzle brake, and I do believe they were marked G16, where the earlier ones with the barrel stub was marked G10. Somewhere around here is a post on the later version..

They've been selling them for about 6 months now I'd guess. Identical to G10s with a muzzle brake instead of the stubbed end.
Made (modified, professionally bubba'd) in 2016, hence G16. I assume the earlier G10s were modified ca. 2010.
Huh, I never thought of it that way Jon! Makes sense though. clap1

For those that haven't seen them, these are some shots of a G16 from another board earlier this year:

Careful big guy........your smarts is showin. thumb1
So much learning, I love it.
The Californistanlavia version....the only thing it launches is the desire to move to a state where you can have all the original features.
Since California has such a problem with grenade attacks...and the subsequent obligatory slightly longer bayonettings.
