is the ST coming to the states? I was going to pull the trigger on an AK550 but the ST looks a bit more appealing. thanks in advance
No word on that. Don't think it will since the ST is advertised as a Euro 5 compliant model and in the States that really doesn't matter so much.
Also, the ST is being advertised as a 2022 model and I already have a 2022 model that is same as the 2021 other than color. But then, the ST is also being considered as in addition to the "standard" AK 550 and not a replacement IMO. So time will tell.
I still like mine better.
