Anonymous said...: What is that?

It looks like a one-off bullpup M-14 with a trigger designed to be shielded, yet still able to be fired by someone in mittens. Oh yea, with a can too.

Butt-ugly for sure, but maybe practical. Mittens is the only excuse for the grip I could think of, I don't think I can blame California for this one.

What does everyone else see?; 10:03 AM
Anonymous said...: Other than what looks like a suppressor on a custom stock, I'm totally bewildered by this one. Any hints on what it is?; 10:31 AM

Anonymous said...: Definitely different. But, it did kill a moose, so you can't fault its practicality.

failing that,it shows an almost exact "PLANET OF THE APES" gunsmithing ability; 2:25 PM

Montie said...: Terry,

Really, "down in flames"? Sorry, but I don't think that the Palin ICBM that was unleashed on the Dems has even reached apogee yet on its flight to rain electoral destruction on the best laid plans of the Obamabots.

BTW Xavier, is there any way to verify exactly what action was used to construct that odd futuristic looking contraption?; 4:25 PM
Rorschach said...: The filename of the pic hints that it is a FN BAR, but it doesn't look like any BAR I've ever seen.; 4:39 PM

If someone did do that to an M1A or an M14, they need to be bitten by a moose.(Monty Python); 3:56 PM
JAFO said...: Argh! So what is it already?; 4:10 PM
Anonymous said...: The visible part of the bolt and bolt handle (charging handle) are clearly Browning/FN BAR in origin. What's happened to it since then is subject to speculation. My guess is custom bullpup stock, supressor, wierd trigger designed for some specific (and not common) purpose. It is NOT an M1A.
