So does that mean that there is no more support for the MSAR rifles? If that is the case, then this might be a good time to think about buying one.

MSAR is bringing back the STG,s. You can check out all their false propaganda on their website. Good luck with that!

Great. Maybe I can get my rifle worked on under warranty some day.

Well I hate to rehash a story I bored people with here already but basically I traded my 16inch barrel for a 20 inch and now and can't get through a magazine without a stoppage. Same rifle just swapped barrels.

Swapping barrels resulting in the stoppage would indicate an issue with the gas port / piston. How had is it to get the piston out?

Not always the case. I got rid of my MSAR because after running fine for 500 rds it started having issues. I ordered the expensive ratworxs hybrid bolt that seemed to fix the problem, but I never got the original parts or replacements for them after mailing them in.

Sold my MSAR with the original bolt without some parts (that I had sent in) and the hybrid bolt.

I would not own another one, as if anything breaks you are screwed.

Yeah, I bought a hybrid bolt too. I haven't had a chance to shoot it since I swapped the bolt.
