10" G28? Anyone ever seen this variant?

This was posted in an SOF Pictures Discord server I'm in and it caught my attention.

This is the first time I've ever seen a G28 with a 10" barrel. Indeed, I think this is the first time I've ever even seen any .308 AR with a 10" barrel. AFAIK, the shortest barrel length on any 417 variant is 13". And it's not a 5.56 because the receiver and buffer tube are too big. Everyone on Discord drew blanks on it. Anyone here ever seen anything like it? Spartan198 (talk) 10:43, 21 June 2022 (EDT)

Are we sure that it's actually a 10" barrel, and not just a 13" one with a suppressor that goes over the end? That style of suppressor has been getting increasingly popular. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 11:52, 21 June 2022 (EDT)
