I just spoke to Mark Urbanik at the Roster Board, he said all I need to do is send the petition, no sample needed. Maybe something has changed as far as smaller to larger caliber.
Thank you, that’s very helpful. I noticed in one of the minutes from last year that a new caliber was requested for a gun on the roster, and from the context it doesn’t look like a sample was submitted, and the new caliber was approved...maybe it’s not such a difficult hurdle to get a new...
I was thinking about grabbing a Sig 553, but I wanted 7.62x39 which is not listed as a caliber on the roster. So does that mean I’m stuck getting 5.56 if I want one?
This is what is on the roster:
Model: SG 553 Pistol
Model Number: P-553-9B-C-R
Caliber: 5.56 NATO
