Evan posted a new video with a much deeper dive into the rifle. Having seen his work in person everything seems top notch so far.

I wish him every success.

I’d buy an old school L85 just for the stoppage drills!

It’s $4500 for the A3. Which sounds like a lot but consider that literally all of it is from scratch, nothing can be adapted from other designs other than the mag.

$4,500 is better than the $12,000 they are asking for A1/A2 versions built on surplus parts. I’m interested, but not $12K interested.

There's a difference between 'I know why it costs that much' and 'I think it's worth that much.' I'm in the first camp, not the second.
...Even I'm saying that's expensive, and I've defended $2,600 bullpups for years.

Consider that most of the companies making those bullpups are established arms firms and he’s starting from scratch.

And the value is pretty good considering only three semis exist in the US

I’d sooner send him 4.5K than spend it on some of the bougie ARs that are running near that much.
