    What makes this variant so rare?

      Rather than guess from memory, I looked it up.

      The rifles were made on contract for KLM, and had a combination of features specific to that run. No one feature was too crazy, but this particular contract run of rifles was a small batch, and thus rare. 16 inch barrels with no muzzle device, semi-auto only, takedown pins on a chain.

        takedown pins on a chain

        That’s a thing?! That’s so smart!!! I gotta look into an aftermarket version of that. Like, I don’t expect to lose the takedown pin nor do I think I’ll ever really find myself taking it out somewhere I would drop it, but can’t hurt to make extra sure I can’t drop it.

          The length of the chain may also be a detriment if you’re carrying it anywhere it could snag.
