HK greatly expanding their US market

And frankly the way the manufacturer feels about the customer is not a factor to me. There are a lot of egos and assholes in the firearms industry. Lots of genuine good people too. I don't really care who profits from my purchase. I buy it for me. Not to vote for my favorite person.

I meant the type of gun... their roller locks... not the actual locking system.

No, the AR patents ran out a long time ago. This is why I was saying that I don't know if Hk's patents were still valid somehow at the time. This is why everyone can use Remington's designs for the 870, and 700, two of the other most notable. The claims on them are history.
