Lol. Rich makes that thing look small. You coming to Cali any time soon Rich? Just needs to be chambered in 30 BR for a cool small package target/hunting rig. I hope it sells like crack laced hot cakes tu2

That bullpup chassis would be krazy-cool for an M1A... Cool

Prototype is completely wrapped up.



Proof of concept bolt extension works great. We are starting a production model in <2 weeks Smiler


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

I like it! Beauty follows function. A face only a mother could love but oozes a certain cool bespoke quality. Having been raised in a machine shop it makes me misty. I think a great benefit other that being short is that you can have a longer barrel for the same overall length for overbore long range carts.

for a lr weapon what is the advantage vs a folding stock chassis? i can only see a lot of mechanical disadvantages for such a weapon... looks cool though...

Well...it's shorter. A lot shorter. You can carry a long barreled rifle through the woods feasibly now. No more hanging it up on tree branches, ladder rungs, etc. A 16" barreled gun is EXCEPTIONALLY short. A 32" barreled gun is now the same OAL length as a 22" in standard configuration.

I'm working hard to rectify exactly what you mentioned, mechanical disadvantages. This has the ergonomics of a standard rifle, without the conventional bullpup disadvantages of a poor trigger and awkward bolt cycling. Balance is also much improved.

Norsk,

the issue with folding stocks is tolerances. Tolerances that adversely affect accuracy. Wear and tear create a slopp(ier)y clearance. Got any doors in your house? If you do not oil them every so often, they squeak in use.

For a military/tactical scenario, it does not matter if you kill or only wound an enemy combatant. In fact, a wound that incapacitates an enemy soldier is preferable.

It not only removes him from the battle, but one or two of his fellow soldiers have to stop shooting to tend to him.
