Rumors: These are simply references to information that I have seen online or heard 'through the grapevine'. Whether these items are factual or not is unknown to me at this time (like seeing a picture or actual model). Any additional information on these items would be greatly appreciated!

An old PMI design pre-dating the PMI-1, bolt action like the PG.
The KP-3 and the Piranha Rifle are two different guns, with a different diameter lower bore and internal parts. Also, that Piranha Rifle used a slide-on feed block like a 68 Magnum.
Rumors of a K-series rifle with an 18" barrel and 28 round tube magazine. Picture here
