"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."

They creat things no one I think has really asked for, yet, maybe never.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
For many companies in the industry right now, the problem is cash flow and standing out from the pack while appealing to the fan-boys that have no clue what really is quality and what is marketing hype. If you can't sell to the mass of basement-dwellers who play COD et. al. the chance of separating (and making money without your ideas getting stolen) is slim to nil. There will be a multitude of desperate companies at SHOT this year trying to fend of the creditors for one more year.
With Freedom Group, Smith and another few just a bit behind them having bought up ideas and whole companies in the past few years, a little risk for the sell-off paycheck is a big motivation for some of these types of projects. There are three mid-level, and a score of smaller firearms manufacturers that are right on the brink of going under and the conglomerates are controlling more and more of the market-share.
All that just to say, the industry is looking for fresh and new and how can they get in on the next big thing. IMHO, the next big thing in the firearm industry will not be "firearm" based...that is just where the industry has been focused, and there has not been a real paradigm shift in quite some time.
Even if you look at significant firearms developments, the G17, the M700, the VersaMax...all are just repackaging of a prior design that was not well marketed. The 300BO was just good marketing, but was not even close to new, just well-hyped. So it still can be done with just a little sex-appeal to the fan-boys and renaming a design that did not quite get off the bench. AAC is now owned by Freedom, and the resultant paycheck largely due to the marketing success of the 300BO, was millions. So sure, worth a risk.
