So Jard came up with a better version of their bullpup pistol caliber carbine... but for some reason, insist on making it out of metal.

There's no price, but it'll probably STILL be more attainable than a KelTec RDB.

Single or double stack?
>>31381083
Probably double stack, but I can't be sure, because the spec copypasta is pretty much the only stuff they've got on that page.
This shit is super new, so there's practically no info until the Arfcom Bullpup Shoot thread starts filling out with info from Sven of Manticore Arms.

I really want a good carbine, that hipoint carbine is fun enough for the price but having a single stack carbine loses its interest quick. Would like to get one of those mechtechs but I would have to buy a glock first and I don't feel like dropping a grand on something just for the desire for a carbine.

Yeah, if Jard can make this at a decent price point without being ultra shit, it could be a really nice plinker.
Honestly, the thing that scares me about this gun is the fact that the stock has like 14 screws holding it together and we don't have any pics of the internals. I'm worried an INSAS holds together better than this thing.
Dam, why so heavy for a 9mm?
>>31381386
All metal construction and *maybe* a huge bolt?
Not sure if it's a blowback design or not.
>>31381386
Heavy blowback bolt and they used metal everywhere.
Well, I guess it would come apart like the J67, just revised:

>mfw this thing will probably be like 900$ and immediately irrelevant

This is sadly probably going to happen, because everything that ISN'T an AR/AK doesn't get made in enough volume to lower the unit cost.
That said, maybe Jard could lower the cost by making one, if not both, of the receivers out of polymer.
