I am not talking about changing the existing model, it will be a new model for a new market. Has no conflict with the existing carbines, it will be pure market gain.
and HP can always expand, no? Line up more suppliers, hire more assembler, move to a larger facility, make more, sell more
A HP factory made laminated stock shouldn handling the pistol caliber recoil just fine, no? They can always make the stock wider if necessary. The wood stock model can be marketed as the "delux" grade and fetch a higher price.
Anyway, the suggestion has been made (an I guess I am not the first one), HP is the only one that can decide whether it will happen (probably not, but you never know

).
