I found it interesting to see that there are some interesting new options that are particularly appealing to those of us living in assault weapon ban states. The company ZM weapons invented a gas piston upper for the AR-15 with a shortened bolt that allows the use of a folding stock. Apparently, they are licensing the production rights to Para USA to produce these things "later this year" (I think they are running out of time on that one...) Para says they are going to sell a "kit" (upper + folding stock). You should be able to pop this on your pre-ban AR-15 lower and convert it to something resembling an overpriced Sig 556 for us ban-staters.
Fair warning, you are going to need to sell your first born, an arm and a leg or win the lottery to afford these puppies (especially considering you got to add the price of the pre-ban lower). All in all, figure $750 + 1750 = $2500!
