R15 will be avalible with thumbhole stock. Remington hedging against elections?
Published: October 27th, 2008
Next year (2009) the Remington R15 will be available with a thumbhole stock made by Bell & Carlson.
Is Remington hedging their bets against an unfavorable election result?
If they are it is a clever strategic move. The R15 has very little “evil”. With the new stock it has no free standing pistol grip, a 5 round magazine, an unthreaded barrel with no flash hider or muzzle break and is camo colored.

Brian, I am sure it is, but you should double check with Remington first. 5.56x45mm NATO loaded to a higher pressure than .223 Rem.
I absolutely detest the fact that any of the gun manufacturers would bend to the demand of the anti-gun zealots. If a state elects that they would rather not have firearms, by all means let them do so. If they'd rather not look at the fact that the states with the least-oppressive gun laws concurrently have the lowest crime rates per capita, then let the outlaws have the outlawed guns.
