https://www.thefirearmblog.com...n-k2-rifles-44821978 SNT Provides Update On American K2 Rifles Daniel Y by Daniel Y Published: July 21st, 2025 "SNT Defense, the American arm of the Korean arms manufacturer formerly known as Daewoo, has posted a new update on the status of their projects. The K2 rifle is still coming, but timelines have been pushed back somewhat. Keep reading for all the details. --- To summarize, orders for DP51 pistols will open in the last quarter of 2025, with an anticipated MSRP of $499. K2S parts kits from Korea are also coming by the end of 2025. US-made K2S rifles are now planned for Q3 2026 with an MSRP of $1799. That is further out and more expensive than was predicted at SHOT, but at least we know they are still coming. "  | ||

Well, OK. Another piston AR15. MSRP of $1800. Underwhelmed is what comes to mind. | |||

Yeah, I don't see too many people being willing to drop nearly $2k on these. It's a 40+ year old design, basically the lovechild of an AR-15 (magwell, bolt, and trigger group), an AK (gas operating system), and an AR-18 (overall layout/ergonomics). It doesn't do anything better than any other modern semiauto rifle. It lacks some of the features and the aftermarket support of many of them. And there's only a very small niche of "South Korean clone rifle enthusiasts" out there. | |||

I am good for $750. Mainly for a folding stock and side charging. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

The proposed price on the DP51s dropped. Here's hoping something good happens on the rifle prices. | |||

I think it's cool. Objectively, nothing does anything better than a good AR. Variety is a good thing. --------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels. | |||

I just dropped close to $1800 on a 605 clone. THIS will be in my collection too, as originals are $4000+. Every last one of my Vietnamese coworkers are interested because of what they represent. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Hop head  |
where are you seeing orginals at $4K? GB has a few variations much much less in the sold / completed section https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Wish I’d kept my preban K1A1 … I gave around $500 for it 30 years ago and after a few years, I sold or traded it for something else that tickled my fancy. There was nothing wrong with it. Nice & compact with the collapsing stock, it shot well and was easy to clean. This one is on GunBroker now for $2,300  If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse. I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either  | |||
