New bullpup rifle

Heathens, blasphemers and infidels!

I asked on the facebook page as to what was the intended market for such a gun, the high capacity & semi-auto design would appear to suggest that mini-rifle would be the main one & the designer confirmed it was, this market is already swamped with very capable rifles & the bullpup design is poorly suited to left shoulder shooting positions without a case deflector fitted, if the designer wanted to make money from this market they should simply produce a quality british made AR lower or full package, I have no interest in this design & wont be buying one even if its cheaper than a 15-22 which I doubt.

Have any of you noticed the Artemis Sawfly?

Its a rather interesting new design, for which the designer is trying to raise cash to get it off the ground using crowdfunding.

What do you think?

The price tag of GBP430-500 seems a tad optimistic unless they do hit the anticipated export volumes reasonably quickly. Regardless I wish them well with their venture, it is always good to see a new firearm manufacturer in the UK.

Yep good luck to them, not for me though, I've got an AR 15 .22.

That looks fairly fugly to me, the scope mount is horrendous!. Good job we all like different things :)

There's just no innovation in it, copying current designs and not addressing the needs/wants of their potential user base.
It's sad, because I really do like bullpup :'(

We hope it succeeds !

I had a thought to try something like this, only based on a fictional design rather than being just a Streyr clone.

I was going to build one around my mosin, just had to many projects on the go.
I still think a good bullpup, with a good ejection system, reliable high-capacity mags and a decent trigger could do well against the boringly generic ARs.

Ah, that'd be Kel Tec then...
