Hmm.... having just watched it being cycled and given the general flakiness of my right shoulder I am not sure I would want to contort my arm and shoulder like that. I wish them well with the project all the same.

Don't think they have added a video yet of the action being cycled with the bolt extender fitted...

The design is ambidextrous, so use your left shoulder instead = problem solved!! :p

Pity they've not got a UK licensee to make them here.
No doubt others will follow, but the sticking point will be making the trigger workable

i don't think the trigger linkage will be the problem(a few good designs for bull pup kits are already out there) i think the bolt extension will the more difficult part to get right
(the issue of having an extension that needs to be rotated is the whole reason i used the K31 as the base for my bull pup project instead of a typical bolt action)

*dislike* Looks horrid and I'll bet the trigger will be horrible too.

I will also put money on the magazine fitting awkwardly into where my hand will sit, just like all other bullpups! I don't like bullpups.

I don't like bullpups either. Wouldn't give one houseroom.

I'm not sure I see the benefit of a bullpup bolt action either to be honest. yes, it's shorter, but it's also much more cumbersome and bolt manipulation becomes something akin to contortion-ism.

Trigger adjustable from 8oz to 2 1/2"lb, crisp break
The trigger was made by one of the main US trigger firms!
