New Kel-Tec Bullpup Rifle

Yes the rifle looks nice. I don't think it will ever get into production.
I am doubtful the ejection system will be reliable. I hope it does make it
on the market; as Kel-Tec is a good American company and I am sure
they have invested a ton of money to get this rifle developed.
 
Finally! Now I know that it will be Kel-Tec that makes the MA5B in 500 years. Perfect for defending Earth from the Flood and the Covenant. I wonder where I can get some MJOLNIR armor to go with it.
 
man, 2k is out of my price range, I paid $1050 for my ar10a4 nib,

I'll buy one if it doesn't exceed the price of my armalite.
 
I noticed that the chamber is basically right under the shooters ear. I wonder if that will seem louder than a more conventional design or if the person firing the rifle would notice any difference?

Interesting

It's like the ASP Rifle from the game F.E.A.R. A 7.62mm bullpup.

Seriously, guys. This is the rifle I've always wanted somebody to make. I never would've guessed Kel-Tec, but why not? It's 6" shorter than an 11" SBR FAL.

Normally, I'd never buy a first-run rifle. But for this...hell. I'll give it a go as soon as they're available. I don't care if it's two grand, I'll save up.

Then they should scale it up to .300 Win Mag. :cool:
 
That is simply the most awesome rifle concept I've ever seen. I want one. BADLY.

That would simply be too cool for words. The world needs more semi-autos in ultra-powerful calibers.

But hey...a .308 from a 32" barrel is no slouch, either. :)
 
Don't forget it is a Kel Tec. Lets see if it works!

Have there been issues with other Kel-Tec rifles?

My only familiarity with them is from looking at pictures. I always thought those folding .223 SU carbines looked appetizing, but reliability is important to me. Thanks.

My thoughts exactly - can almost hear the Halo2 theme music playing in the background when looking at the pictures of this thing.
 
MAN! I love bullpups....and in .308...and FAL Mags. Sweet.

And I have aa whole year to save up for one....

Hopefully the "street price" will be something more like $1000-1200. I could justify that...if it's over $1500 the decision gets harder, as there are some other guns I'd like in that range.

Go away Kevin. You've never owned any Kel-Tec pistol or rifle. Take your vendetta somewhere else.

Here's something a KT employee said on the KTOG forum in response to a question about chrome bores and chambers:

not 100% finalised on this....

But 32" model should have a chromed chamber only.
18" probably chamber and bore....not sure about 24"
 
Wow, I might want this instead of the SOCOM I've been lusting after. Hopefully the MSRP will be under $1500. I have two thoughts though.

1) The ejection tube should angle down. This would allow gravity to assist ejection. I'm still worried about empty casings jamming in the tube. Maybe also adding a spring loaded manuel clearing plunger of some sort.

2) How well does a bullpup protect the shooters from KABOOMs. The chamber is right by the face. It could very easily be a very bad situations.
 
OH MY HOLY LORD GOD! A BULLPUP .308! THAT TAKES FAL MAGAZINES! LEFTY FRIENDLY!

KEL-TEC, I love you.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Your out of control.

ok nevermind that would be awsome.

Definately one of the coolest things about it.

I will buy this rifle in a heartbeat, regardless of price (I've got a year to save) on three conditions:

1. It is rediculously reliable. By reliablility I mean it goes bang every time and parts don't break.

2. It is reasonably accurate (2-3 MOA), although with an 18" barrel and the alleged non-bullpup trigger, I don't think that should be a problem.

3. Recoil is manageable. If I can't keep it under control while doing CQC/CQM type stuff, the short length is useless to me

If it fails to meet any of those requirements, I'll stick with my FAL.

I'm not going to be able to sleep at night from now until I get one, I'll be to worried a ban will get passed and all will be lost.
 
Don't get me wrong, I love to see new designs but why oh why couldn't Kel-Tech FIRST have made a version of the SU-16 in .308 that takes FAL mags? Priced similarly(slightly higher than the 5.56 of course), seems like that would be a better seller.
