A little longer than ideal, but it keeps from needing one of those overpriced stamps
Good to hear, and a nice job on the gun.

If someone does find himself with a bullpup that's a bit too short, there are a couple of remedies; either permanently attach a flashhider, use a longer barrel, or extend the butt by attaching a pad or an extension.

Thats some good advice, expecially on the pad. Never thought of that.

Might make some of those guns nicer to shoot as well.

Nice! It looks like your design brings the ejection port close to one's shoulder; did that cause any problems when firing away? or is there enough space/clearance? just curious

The ejection issues I can find are more that of the gap between the body and the ejection port in that area. I need to fill it with some material and epoxy, and sand it down so no rounds get hung up. I had one slide into that gap, and the next got caught on there and held the bolt open.

Next time I have it open I'll take some more pictures so you can see the inner workings.

I would love to have a receiver that would let me use modified P90 magazines.... Probably be more of a AM100 clone than a 10/22 at that point
