"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. "

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

RogueJSKYeah, 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.

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

1KPerDayI think it's cool. Objectively, nothing does anything better than a good AR. Variety is a good thing.

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.

where are you seeing orginals at $4K?
GB has a few variations much much less in the sold / completed section

I'm with you there. I wish I had bought one years ago.

kimberkidWish 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

I had one of those and foolishly sold it and don't even remember why.
