Masterpiece Arms .22 Bullpup
Masterpiece Arms is displaying this offensively colored bullpup with no plaques or press releases partnered with the mock-up. Working with Charles St George they are working on a gun that is visually similar to his earlier design, the Bushmaster M17S, but chambered in .22 Magnum.
The firearm doesn’t have a release date and looking at the gun it was hard to tell if it was a mock-up or a gutted prototype. It is expected to have a 50 round capacity, though it is not currently clear if this will be in a rear-fed drum. It is too soon for them to answer the questions I tested on them, but I’m looking forward to Charles adding a matching .22 to his Micor .50 BMG desig n.
Ethan's firearm interests are mostly with Cold War era select-fire weapons and their semi-auto counterparts.

MPA .22 Mag Bullpup... cute... love the idea... even like the color, offer more choices... but "Dump The Lump!"... unless that unsightly thickness of the buttstock is needed for function, tailor that thing down! Extruded aluminum housing and minimal working parts should keep it an affordable toy. I could see this becoming "suppressor friendly"!
Looks like the trigger group off of early 90's semi-auto paintball guns like the F2 illustrator.
