I showed you my bullpup chassis progress...here's a video showing the 8oz trigger :)

This short video basically gives a rundown of the features, and some closeup of the trigger. It is better than I had hoped, and basically just feels fantastic. You may notice the safety flopping around a bit...that's cause it isn't hooked up in this video, we had been adjusting the trigger and got in a bit of a hurry wanting to show it off.

It's not the prettiest thing right now, but it is just a prototype and aesthetics weren't the #1 concern, but it seems we have function nailed, which was the #1 concern.

A thing of beauty is a joy to behold.

Good Job on the Trigger. I'm impressed !

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. Pretty niche market...at least at first. But I think it may gain a lot of acceptance once folks see it's really not an ergonomic problem with a bolt extension.

Here is a picture of a actual U.S. Navy BULLPUP. Seems just like it was yesterday. (1974)

Really like it , how soon til production?

Hoping to have V3 done in a month or so, if it is to my satisfaction we will do a short preorder period to fund a good sized production run, in order to lower machining costs. So two months or so?

We've been working on our "bolt extension" that brings the bolt handle forward. R&D is slow going with full time jobs, but we are almost done with the extension, and then machining on what I hope is the production model commences.

Here's some shooting without the bolt extension, to show it isn't impossible to work the bolt as is:

Very nice design and cant wait to see the production unit. I hope you sell the heck out of them.
