Steyr AR?

[Barry in IN]

Anyone here read German?
STRATEGIE & TECHNIK: Steyr-Mannlicher STM556

Quick change barrel, piston operation, monolithic upper. No word on coming here.
One curious "feature": The safety can be applied with the hammer down. I recently read the latest version of the HK416 (the A5) is the same way. Why? Is there a bid proposal out that these places want to win?

Looks nice, I'm sure it comes with a hefty price tag. Aimpoint Comp M4 is amazing though. Wondering if it would have to be registered as a sbr if it comes with two quick-change barrels, with one being < 16".

At one point I had a Moss500 that came with a pistol grip and had a removable stock, therefore got registered as a pistol. Does the same logic apply to a quick change barrel system and a sub 16" barrel?

My dad has an old E.A. ar15 that you can move to safe without the hammer being locked
