M96 "Recon" ?

[Zak Smith]

By the end of August, we will begin shipping the BREN (Top
Magazine Feed) and M96 Recon Kits (Short Barrel and gas system)
.

Does anyone have an idea what this "Recon Kit" is going to look like? From the description, it sounds like a shorter rifle than the existing M96 Carbine..

the Stoner 63A had a commando version with a 14 inch barrel:

I think that it is what the original carbine kit was going to look like. The current kit is only a short barrel. The recon kit has a short barrel and a shortened gas system.

So not only did Steyr screw you George, but now Robinson Arms. are at it as well

So, now I guess the obvious question is: Do we get a short 16" barrel version (16" including brake), or will this be an item kept from us little people?
