trigues me. In drawing the cartridge from the magazine it puts structural demands on the cartridge. There are some MGs that draw the cartridge from the belt but I don't think I've heard of them disassembling cartridges. Re-examining the images of the magazine it seems more sturdy than I was thinking previously...

Anyway, is price always the sole consideration? I mean, would we have Colt, USFA and FA single-actions if a Ruger would do? Would people customize the Ruger SAs? Granted, it matters to many but it isn't all there is. Consider this, there are places where Byron's Kel-Tec would fetch the price the Boberg is fetching (MSRP or not). In fact, that company's PMR-30 is still getting double the MSRP from some folks and not all of them have the dollars to fritter away. Also, this is early in the marketing cycle, either the gun will go away or it will eventually be manufactured in a way at a scale to bring the price down.
