Bullpup AR - this guy has an interesting design...

[NorthDakota]

I know it has a long ways to go with many turns before it could possibly end up on the shelf...but one never knows.

I wish this guy success...nice to see innovation.

It looks like it would be fun to shoot.

It also looks like the FS2000. Really bulky and cumbersome.

Im not really a fan of bullpups. Looks fun though.

He should do a torture test and beat the shit out of it.

If it holds up....that will sell it

There are plenty of drawbacks to the FS2000 platform, but its really not as uncomfortable as it looks to be. I found it to be a very ergonomic and pointable carbine.

Does his design look to be pretty close to the 2000?

The buttstock looks like it.

How do you like the trigger?

This guys gun looks to be, if anything, a little thinner than the FS2000. The cheekpiece seems to add some width to his rifle but I suppose its a necessary part for ambi operation. The trigger wasnt ideal, but I never had any trouble getting enough control over it to hit plates at 200m offhand either. Certainly workable.

The biggest ergonomic drawback to the FS, in my opinion, is the lack of an easy way to add a light or foregrip to the weapon. Any serious fighting rifle needs a light. I took to dremeling the factory handguard and installing a G2 on mine (see avatar). There is a tri rail available but it is heavy and very wide. This rifle seems to solve the up-front rail real estate issue.

Seems like a cool concept and all, but unless he finds a way to incorporate a relatively light trigger (KelTec RFB) and firing-hand mag release (Tavor) I dont see it being any more of an advance than the bullpups we already have.
