The Ventician was non union the last time I was there I tip them a lot more.

Pictures are up on several boards. At least it looks like ruger didn't copy someone on this polymer grip revolver (but I don't know my revolvers very well, so maybe they did).

The first bullpup design was Thorneycroft which is a bolt action carbine. I believe it was invented around 1900. Bullpup design are fundamentally flawed. Over 100 years and the flaws are still there. The US military use their rifles to fight wars and not to show off. Bullpup aren’t new. The first bullpup design was Thorneycroft which is a bolt action carbine.

They are quite a few but they concept has never been used for a mainstream civilian rifle. Here is are a few example: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2008/09/12/alex-bullpup-bolt-action-rifles/ http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/01/02/t-4-bullpup-pcp-air-gun/ http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2008/02/04/desert-tactical-arms-stealth-recon-scout/ Dave, I sure do!

Is there anything like that in existence? I'm a fan of the bullpup concept and am sad we haven't seen wider development of the design in the U.S. with autoloaders, but I have a hard time seeing the attraction of a manual action at the rear of a stock.

I agree with the new cartridge, even if I think we really don't need one. Glock, Yes.... BUT why? Springfield Armory M1A in .308 with two round burst for MIL/LE Only! You have to admit that would be cool!! Being military and having used the M4 and M16, I wish someone (read Colt, or FN) would Sh&tcan the gas system and make a move toward all piston type firearm for the US Military. Another would be a new pistol for the US Military, maybe something like the M&P .40. Just my 2 cents. Thanks Steve, great site, best I have seen so far and visit often. V/R C_S Steve,

Also, Michael Bane already had a picture of Magpul's new rifle on his web site. If it makes it to the public is another question.
