Definitely going for that SA80 look (which makes sense, given that the SA80 is a bullpup AR18) |
I think that looks great.  They captured the forbidden fruit L85 aesthetic perfectly.I haven't cared at all about the BRN-180 but this changes the calculus a bit. $700-$800 for a lower to pair with a $900 upper is a pair of bitter pills to swallow though. |

That actually looks well thought out, relatively speaking. While I still prefer my purpose-designed bullpups, I'm Curious to see what else they produce in the future. And supposedly there are kits that make the charging handle way less "in your face" for the BRN-180. |

This is my ode to the L85, from a Bushmaster M17s that I’ve had for 25 years. Had the conversion done maybe 18 years ago?Attached File |

So you just buy a 16" BRN-180 complete upper and throw it on this lower? That's it? Plug and play? You got it. Same receiver for BRN-180 or PSA Jakl, just different end caps. |

Three choices.
Jesus was a liar who wanted to deceive everyone.
Jesus was insane and THOUGHT he was the son of God.
Jesus was who He said He was.
No other option. It's simple to me.

This is a pretty cool concept. My BRN is a 10.5in length on a SBR lower so no easy transition. If I had a 16 or 18in upper, it would be cool to swap back and forth from traditional to bullpup configurations. With an $850 upper and $700 bullpup lower, you’re looking at at least $1500 for one of these. At that point a purpose built AUG, Tavor or Hellion might be the way to go |

Nontheless I always wanted an SA80 even if they are crappy rifle in the military.In the first pic in the OP is that an SBR? I like it where the muzzle is just a little past the handguard.

You can get a version with an elongated buttpad/endcap if you're using a 16" barrel, because otherwise the OAL is less than 26". It'd be funny to see someone pin and weld a surefire muzzle device to meet the OAL requirements. |

I did a P&W on my X95's so I could use the thin IDF buttplate and still meet the 26" OAL. |
