    $1600 ish was the guess. Maybe a touch less.

    If it's not a full auto Sten, then......what's the gain? Why?

    Really I am probably not in the market for it myself, and what it offers over a bottom fed gun, I could not answer. I just like to see something new for the sake of innovation, otherwise we just end up with "Shot Show number eleventy 937 where they introduce yet another variation of a Glock, 35 different 1911s which after you peel off the window dressings, holes drilled in them and coatings, are actually all the same, and yet more AR15s, that follow the same pattern of window dressing that 1911 manufacturers use. Dressing up the same old thing. Literally nothing new.

    At least this gun might be of interest for the steampunk crowd!

    That's pretty much it as well as shooting from other positions where the mag might be in the way on the bottom.

    Ruger makes a pretty nice bolt gun that takes AR mags, for quite a bit less than $1600...just sayin.

    And with the mag on the bottom, you have the option of using a 30 rd mag as a monopod.

    As a “toy” toy, I have to say that my tail wagged just a little over the mention of a short 300BLK version. Nice to see something a little different.

    Make it a new USPSA division - LOL! I've seen folks shoot IDPA with a bolt rifle. The guy was good but obviously a slow time run but beautiful to watch a skilled person run the gun. That compared to a guy who ran a lever gun and messed up the levering all the time.

    I want one. When I saw this a few weeks ago I wanted one right away. No, it has no practical use for me really. I just dig it and want it.

    The End.

    I admit I was a little disappointed. Thought someone had scored a Krag.
