In the vid, he says the one pictured has a 20" barrel, so imagine what 16" would look like! Being a southpaw, I really appreciate how easy it is to switch ejection sides. I'll take mine in 10". |

It's cool and he's clearly a very smart guy. I think it looks great.
I just wonder why with all his skill he didn't make his own receiver of some sort. Building a "shell" around an AR lower is a unique approach, though. |

Fail, you can see the chainsaw on the wall behind him but he does not show it mounted on the rail. |

definitely smart, in that he didn't have to re-engineer the fire control group

Hell, I won't even pretend I don't want one. Even if it was $1k for a basic package without the lower receiver. If the barrel is a standard AR barrel and the upper config is not designed to make other barrel lengths impractical I'd be very happy.
I've never been particularly impressed with bull-pups, all the common designs seemed to have serious flaws for me and ALSO be crazy costly. This design, crappy trigger included, seems almost ideal to me. I imagine some careful tuning on an individual model can at least make the trigger decent if mushy, I can live with that for a weapon not intended for long range precision. I'd love to finish one up with a 16" barrel and a suppressor. Honestly, I think a company like VLTOR or Magpul needs to jump on this. They have the reputation, contacts and distribution to make something like this take off. They also have the production experience to get the design tuned for volume production rather than as a prototype, a major hurdle in getting the production efficiency and thus costs under control. I'm not sure where I'd find the money in my budget, but if this was out there for 1k I'll buy it. Less would be better but I'd rather the quality of the barrel and rail assembly be maintained to a decent level. From the looks of it, you aren't going to be changing uppers regularly, nor does it offer a lot of modularity for the handguards/rails, so they need to be pretty good to start with. Likewise, the barrel doesn't need to be a super match grade, but it should be good enough that the trigger is the primary limiting factor in real accuracy. Say something equivalent to the BCM SS410 barrels or the Noveske chrome lined. Good, accurate, but not $500+ for accuracy you won't really get from the finished package. |

Building a "shell" around an AR lower is a unique approach, though. because then he would need to be a "Firearms manufacturer", with the appropriate ATF licensing..THIS way, he's just selling a "Part", and doesnt have to deal with all of the attendant bullshit that goes along with being an 07 SOT....nvermind, if he's outside of the US, the "Sporting Purposes importation shit |

I do not care for it my self, but I can see where others would want it.
|

I like the idea.
You can have a 20" rifle barrel in a weapon shorter than an M-4 (and, with a 16" bbl, much shorter). However... BATFE will take one look at that, say "serial number is covered up" and ass rape you. AFARR |

There's a company that offers a bull pup conversion for an AR lower? Link and price? |
|
I want one.
I am impressed with the looks and design. I like that it is a part, and not another rifle. As long as he has a "cut out" showing the serial number I think he would be good to go. I hope he demonstrates that it is reliable and accurate at a reasonable price. I hope the people here at ar15.com will support him. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!! |

Ace stocks had a few pics of a bullpup AR on their site for years, not anymore.
that being said, I'll take one of these. Brad |

Stop trying to make me feel old.... Uh, I used to see those at the gun shows in the early 90's. I think it's more like 20 years. I had one for about a month. The extrusion that made up the body & stock got super hot in the sun. |

That'll be difficult if the site really is locking any discussion about the rifle, since he isn't an "industry partner." The rifle looks good. One with a 16" barrel would be pretty compact. |

The way to fix the trigger is to make it electronIc. ATF says that's an MG. I believe the ATF says if it's easily converted to fire more than 1 round with each "pull" of the trigger, it's an MG. But a simple solenoid that cannot act more than once per trigger pull should be ok, no? |

How would you get the solenoid to fire, release and repeatedly fire when linked to a single momentary switch (the trigger)? You can't. You'd need some manner of circuitry in there. |

As long as it takes AR barrels, I'd be all over it. I need a bullpup in 6.5

I am really impressed, and I would buy one in a heartbeat if it ends up being reliable and quality made, whenever it releases. I look forward to his second prototype. Only comment is the way he seemed to be handling this version, it seemed a little heavy. But I could be wrong. I totally get it's his first prototype also. I am sure a guy as smart as him will the kinks worked out.
I have been wanting a bullpup for years, but just couldn't quite convince myself to buy an AUG. I will probably have to wait three years for this thing to hit th market! KOTB |

Very cool. I always hated bullpup designs, but this one intrigues me.

OK, I'll stay tuned for #2! Looks like a very smooth design.
