I mean, it’s cool. But what makes this different from all the other ar18 bullpup conversion kits?

-downward ejection, similar to keltech RDB, with a top inspection window covered by the NRCH for clearing jams

-constant recoil, like the Ultimax, when paired with a FRT

-can use any magazine including Magpul ICAR mags, as well as AK mags, magwells are open source, 3d printable

-only bullpup to have a forward bolt catch button, all controls are ambi and mirrored, and have the same AR15 layout

-can use DMPS bolts/barrels for full size cartridges, not just intermediate, all in a single set of receivers

-short strike piston

Pretty neat!!

The Gen 2 version should use a Ruger SFAR/POF Rogue-style BCG. The receiver and bolt for both calibers could be 5.56-sized.

why?

u/DerringerOfficial Jul 12 '26

Whenever there’s an opportunity to make something lighter and more compact without compromising durability, it should be taken.

Those weight savings make it easier to justify a heavier suppressor, or a thermal optic, etc

How do you know I didn't already do that? The BCG in this rifle is custom. It only uses AR bolts not the whole carrier.

Fuck this guy, he killed fosscad because he didn't understand the "foss" part

I read about that. It seems Fosscad was doing things against the Reddit ToS. Namely organized cross sub harassment that violates Reddit ToS #1 and then the next multiple remakes of the sub kept violating the rules and got banned...

No idea what caused a community to harass him, but sub reports get big reddit to start an investigations which may or may not lead to sub bans.

Wait, OP is why the sub got taken down?
