if that's what you'd call it, sure

2018-04-01 20:20:30 UTC  

It's all entirely doable, but it's not been done because regular automatics are simpler and nobody wants to get the ATF on them

2018-04-01 20:21:29 UTC  

isn't that what caused waco

2018-04-01 20:22:15 UTC  

IIRC the ATF went after them because they were making some device like that which made semi automatics fire like automatics

2018-04-01 21:13:14 UTC  

I think they tried to claim that

2018-04-01 21:14:18 UTC  

just got back from the range

2018-04-01 21:14:35 UTC  

there was a guy with a bullpup 6.5cm deserttech

2018-04-01 21:14:51 UTC  

next to me shooting .5" groups using little circle note stickers

2018-04-01 21:14:55 UTC  

I was amazed.

2018-04-01 21:15:31 UTC  

I was shooting 338 lap but I have been unable to bring my groups under .7" without a bench rest

2018-04-01 21:17:23 UTC  

my fucking scope rings got loose when I was shooting

2018-04-01 21:17:40 UTC  

causing my groups to drop 3" down suddenly

2018-04-01 21:17:40 UTC  

lol

2018-04-01 21:17:43 UTC  

not good

2018-04-01 21:18:13 UTC  

>bullpup

**BEGONE**

2018-04-01 21:18:58 UTC  

I dunno why he would choose that; but from a bolt action perspective it's kinda sensible

2018-04-01 21:19:21 UTC  

in a use case where he actually needed a super precise shot; it's not like he's likely to do significant followups

2018-04-01 21:19:43 UTC  

so cycling the action is not super duper important

2018-04-01 21:21:01 UTC  

he was a really good shooter though

2018-04-01 21:21:16 UTC  

like; he was hitting the center of those fucking little stickers without any problem

2018-04-01 21:21:45 UTC  

I ran out of ladder tests, zoomed in on his target and watched him shoot

2018-04-01 21:21:53 UTC  

I want to get to his skill level

2018-04-01 21:22:01 UTC  

but I do not want to be as obese as he was

2018-04-01 21:22:05 UTC  

giant beer belly

2018-04-01 21:24:34 UTC  

sad thing is; with my SPR (18", SS, Heavy profile ML Gas) AR, I can shoot better followups than with my fucking super expensive 338 lap

2018-04-01 21:25:07 UTC  

First shot I'm generally dead on; everything after that is usually offset because I keep fucking flinching like a pussy

2018-04-01 21:25:09 UTC  

I take it that you have an armory?

2018-04-01 21:25:14 UTC  

not really

2018-04-01 21:25:21 UTC  

aw

2018-04-01 21:26:42 UTC  

I have 4 distinct rifles (AR w/ .458 socom 16", AR w/ 223 wylde 18", Savage FVSR 22lr, and my sako TRG-42 in 338 lap)

2018-04-01 21:27:02 UTC  

and one pistol

2018-04-01 21:27:41 UTC  

The .458 was just a workaround; I didn't want to need to ditch my standard cap kits so I re-labeled them all to 458

2018-04-01 21:27:57 UTC  

Also; I did want to buy a 45/70, and this is just as good

2018-04-01 21:28:42 UTC  

I don't really have anything milsurp, although I might get ahold of a M1A in 308 so I can go 2 gun

2018-04-01 21:29:56 UTC  

I didn't want to go and get some rifle that would get me halfway to 2000Y

2018-04-01 21:30:22 UTC  

so I wasn't really attracted to 6.5CM

2018-04-02 01:39:59 UTC  

Would a clockwork or otherwise heavily built trigger mechanism fix the bullpup trigger issue?

2018-04-02 01:40:53 UTC  

So that there's no metal flex involved or shenanigans from shitty trigger linkages

2018-04-02 02:05:40 UTC  

yeah

2018-04-02 02:05:47 UTC  

there are a handful of good designs

2018-04-02 02:06:21 UTC  

some of them rely on sear based pin drops
