The 2008 dated MSBS-5.56 was a pretty
awkward futuristic blocky gun as it was not

2008 MSBS concept model with the final
Fabryka Broni GROT rifle even though they are

only small details remained without change.
Heck, the 2008 MSBS had more in common
with the FN SCAR than the current rifle.
The original idea of the MSBS system was
complete modularity, full ambidextrousness,
and swift transition from standard to bull-pup
configuration based around a common up-

to be changeable (not quick changeable, but
