I like the idea of being able to swap barrels without special tools.
At a time when money is scarce being able to have barrels for different disciplines instead of spending out on complete set ups, makes it a very attractive proposition.
How long before someone fires a barrel up the range though?
Would the design allow for me to order a new barrel / calibre and have it delivered without you having to have the rifle back in your shop? ie you have the relative specs already saved to file.

Well done Dave & co
like the easy barrel change, looks like true a space race gun.
The build along with badger thred now has more options to chose from.

A bull pup would certainly be interesting however the issue in my mind is always with the trigger linkage plus although they are compact they always seem awkward and a bit cramped in respect to the operation of the bolt for me, possibly down to my physical build.

David,
A bullpup for a single shot rifle is an idiot idea from the start. Just imagine the arm twist needed to reload......
And for repeaters; if it was of any real value, the principle would have developped much more than it is.....
Semi-full autos is an other concept, and, even here, the loading handle has often be placed at a more accessible location than a bolt handle.
Yoy mentioned the triggering issue, then I do not have to....

I would say try the DTA ? Although it it very expensive it does shoot your arguments down flames!

Very nice, but would be better with that small change we discussed!

Quite a few bolt-action bull-pups out there already...
Seems that some folk don't know about them (or never noticed the pic. of the K31 version which I posted)
If it was down to me I'd kill the linkage issues dead in the water; electronic triggers can be fitted anywhere without linkage a assembly in sight.
