For those of you not familiar, K&M Aerospace is the company to deal with if you have a Bushmaster M17S. A very early bullpup, it was rife with "difficulties" that a trip to K&M would sort out for you. The K&M ARMS M17S not only solves all those issues in one package, it improves on trigger pull and overall general construction.

As a customer of Ken's over the past few months, I have been impressed not only with his workmanship but his professionalism and customer service...so it is with that in mind that I wanted to get him a little press on this rifle that he is bringing to market. It is currently the only all metal bullpup on the market and the only bullpup in the world (that I know of) with a 3.5# trigger. If you want something that no one else has, this is it.

Here are some pics of it in the white and a link to follow for Pre-ordering.

For those who don't wish to click the link, here are the specs:

Weight: 7lbs 9oz
Length of Pull: roughly 13"

Here is the list of upgrades:
Billet aluminum lower that uses standard AR grip.
Standard AR hammer and trigger group, springs and pins. The trigger is slightly modified.
3.5 trigger pull with Pat pending linkage.
Magpul buttpad
Skeleton trigger.
Lighter upper with a redesigned extrusion.
Semi free float barrel, the end cap is not used on this rifle.
New design of bolt and carrier group.
.223 cal with the .300 black out barrel assembly to follow.
18" barrel and OAL 26" Flash hider installed (Make sure this is legal in the state you live in) The flash hider can be permanently attached on this version so a longer flash hider can be added to make the OAL longer if needed for your state.

Price point is $1800
Delivery to start the first of the year

Whats the weight on that? sure looks like alot of metal.

Mag catch button look more difficult to use then the tavor options.

Overall a cool looking design though.

Currently wearing a 1x4 optic in a one piece mount and with a fully loaded 30rd PMAG it weighs 8.5 pounds. That's with the end cap, the heavier upper, the additional weight of the bolt assembly and charging handle. If I had to guess, I'd say his new prototype is around the 8lb mark, but I'll ask and see if he'll give me the weight.
