Springfield Armory SAINT M-LOK Now Legal for the California Republic with Survivor System Stock
The Springfield Armory SAINT has found considerable attention and buyers in what is a very soft modern sporting rifle market. First, introduced with a Keymod forearm. Then, offered with a free-float M-LOK handguard as to not ignore the M-LOK fan base. Last, but not least they developed a new variation with a Survivor System stock to be legal in the near foreign country that is California.
The same Survivor System stock is employed for the Keymod SAINT, and now it is being utilized for the M-LOK model as well. The specs for the M-LOK SAINT do not drastically change from that of the original version. For those who are uninitiated to this rifle, the full specifications can be read below.

Springfield's new strategy: sponsor legislation that screws gun owners, then sell them ugly Frankenrifles that meet restrictions imposed by aforementioned legislation.
I appreciate any effort to keep the AR platform viable in Cali (until we get the stupid ban repealed). The fact is, the kydex panel on the hand grip does the job just fine, is cheap AF, and easily removed.
