Hope it is redesigned bullpup! Maybe like the old .32 scorpion machine pistols

Agree on mag release, handguard and grip. Meh on the rest for me.

I'll be curious to hear if there are any internal changes. Otherwise, pretty much a cosmetic revamp.

Not a common Euro caliber?

Looks like they revamped the BHO lever as well.

It's down there at the front of the trigger guard where the old mag release was.

I can't say that I'm a fan of that at all.  Would give you one busy trigger finger to have to re-learn a new manual of arms.

Yeah, that would drive me nuts.

I like the new mag release/bolt release positions; matches another gun I have. Not a fan of the new design for the iron sights — lacks elegance!

Nah....not for me. But innovation and advances in the gun world are always great, even if it doesnt suit everyone.

I'm glad that I have the old original version.




I like the looks and the grip angle of the new version better than the original. Hope the safety doesn’t dig into my knuckle when firing, like the original does. Hopefully the new version is as reliable and accurate as the original.

Now we know what the child of the Scorpion and the BREN 2 looks like, the pistol grip and mag well say that. :)
Is it brace adaptable, or SBR capable? It is certainly interesting, and I can see a select fire version becoming popular with various agencies. Looks like fun.
