I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the stock FsN magazines will work with HK's cartridge, or only need minor tweaks.

Well boys, I suppose I will have to finally post a photo of my proprietary reflex suppressor for the PS 90 I designed and built. The platform is a standard 16 inch barrel PS 90 with a quick detach (1/4 turn) titanium suppressor which slides over the entire barrel and has the look of a P90 with a sc...

There are a few other "stock" [sorry for the confusing term] photos floating around.

One of the first thing I noticed is that the trigger is missing from the model firearm.
I wonder if they took that route in order to avoid the making of an NFA firearm.
