I can’t believe people would get up in arms because an excellent parts manufacturer ventures into the full rifle market with something (even initially) only available to the people who are more likely to actually use them in a life-or-death situation. Please.

I'm not LEO so I'm not just saying that cause I'm gonna score one through an agency or something.
If this works, I imagine I'll be getting the Geissele uber rifle I've been wanting, along with many others on this forum. I'd rather wait for that Geissele rifle anyways.
I said these things. My thoughts are that they cannot meet the demand of the market, that's why they limit it's sale. My point is that when you are a company that has the support of thousands of private firearm owners, you should at least recognize that, and offer up a timeline. Every company has teething issues when they grow, this is a good workaround for them I think. People were upset when other companies did the same thing that geissele is doing with this rifle, that's all I'm saying.
I own lots of geissele and alg products, and will continue to buy them. I hope some day these will be available to regular guys. This would be an amazing rifle for buyers who would otherwise buy incorrectly built and low quality rifles at a similar price.
