I want a bullpup rifle. (Attn: John Shaw)

[MacFall]

They were selling a PS90 for about $2500 at Gander Mountain, and I was thinking of getting one (although I'm sure I can find a much better price). I've also heard good things about the AUG variants, but I like the PS90 design for aesthetic reasons. Any recommendations?

The price of 5.7x28mm ammo will kill you.

Two things I don't like about bullpup designs:

1.  The detonation takes place right next to your ear.

2.  Much shorter sight radius makes iron sights less precise.

This is the one I want. Chambered in the most versatile round you'll ever need, too.

The RFB is cool 'cause it's ambidextrous, and it accepts the widely available FN-FAL metric mags. It's rated to fire both the .308 Winchester and the 7.62 NATO cartridge, with slight adjustments to take the slightly differing gas pressures between the two (though even if you didn't bother, I'm sure it would still work alright). To me, it looks like a pretty neat solution to a combination home defense and hunting rifle, and they will very soon release versions in 7.62x39 (probably accepting standard AK mags) 5.56 NATO/.223 (taking AR mags) and even Grendel and SPC. It looks like a big step up from an AR-10 to me, and it doesn't cost that much more (you can order one for $1800 right now).

My buddy has the PS90.... Fun little gun, but it feels like you're shooting a .22lr.  I don't know if I would trust my life with a round like that no matter what the specs say.  In a pistol sure, but a rifle?  I'll pass.  Also, no iron sights so you pretty much have to get some sort of optics for it.  The iron sights my friend put on his sucked ass.  They're mounted so close to your face it's almost impossible to focus on the front post and still see your target... Bleh.

You might want to check out the FN F2000: .223, accepts AR-15 mags and the shells don't eject near your face.  Trigger isn't half bad for a bullpup either.  I've handled them in the store, but never had the chance to shoot one.   If you have a choice, I'd skip on the integrated 1.5x (or whatever it is) scope and just use the rail to mount your own optics.



I got a Carbon15 from Bushmaster and that is one light, tight little rifle.  Dropped a match grade trigger in it and a Trijicon scope and it just rocks...  So much fun to shoot.  Weighs around 6 lbs.  The carbon fiber and heavy fluted barrel stays uber cool under heavy fire.  Only downside is no forward assist.  Well that, and that people bitch that it's a "plastic gun."  Then I have to remind them that the "plastic" it uses is 40% stronger than steel.

Oooooooh.

I have an msar stg (AUG clone). It is a very fine rifle. Sturdy, accurate, good looking, Easy to disassemble and clean. The magazines are rare and it won't use AUG mags.

The only problem I have with the p90 is we peasants can't buy full metal jackets for it. I have been tempted by the FN 5.7 handgun every time I walk into a gun store.

Some idjit paid $3500 for one on gunbroker. LOL.

He wanted to be the first kid on the block maybe.
