It's not for the military. It's for shooting...
I wouldn't pass up a decent opportunity to have a 5,7 Johnson carbine. One of his last commercial developments. Would have been a very early small bore PDW in M2 guise.
In reality it was developed for the military and tested by them. It was reject and he turned to the commercial side to make money with it. He would convert USGI carbines and later sold conversion kits as well as loaded ammunition and them brass and dies for reloading. I know of one dealer who had one in stock for almost two years with ammo and dies. He had to lower the price four times before it sold and he lost money when he let it go to another dealer in a trade.
