Just saw a post that the John Galt guy who designed, built, and tested a home grown bullpup solution and is actively looking to sell it. Apparently his post went viral on July 4th (1.3+million views) and the gun tubers (including Garand Thumb) and manufacturing companies are now engaged with him. Claims: Bullpup Uses AR Bolts and Barrels Modular Magwell can take 5.56 to 308 magazines (including AK and ICAR) Downward Eject Has an FRT already designed for it Has a Chamber check window on the top like the F2000 Utility Patents granted Modular components are open sourced, so aftermarket can make parts (but not the receiver/internals) https://x.com/john_galt_42069/status/2073297191565688935 https://xcancel.com/john_galt_42069/status/2073297191565688935 <This is a link if you don't have an X account to see the post Here is a video of it firing, also had build and design videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPozFLw0qvE Looks pretty neat, that lower to upper transition in front of the hand guard though... It also looks like he is going to take it to a GOA event. Not sure which one, where or what date but it looks like it is getting steam. Really looking forward to seeing how it groups. |

Agreed, it definitely was having issues in that video, definitely needs some work before prime time. That apparently was the first fire of the gun. The reason the video is long is he goes through a tear down and diagnosed the failures/what he needs to do to fix it. That is still years ahead of all of the other failed new bullpups to market that have been advertised. I'm definitely eyeing 6mm (and 22) arc. |

If it comes out at a decent price as a kit, I might just pick one up. Was mainly wanting one for a .308 setup. Was quite interested for a while, but stopped following as the development dragged on and Galt started having some weird beef with some of the 3D printing spheres on Reddit. |
