    A rather unique bullpup design rifle that worked by using the pistol grip to eject and reload in a straight pull motion. They were apparently somewhat popular here in Ireland before the 2008 CJA made them restricted. Anyone ever use one, own one, shoot one??

    Never seen one, its similar to certain bull pup'ish designed shotguns.

    I would have mistakenly thought it was a rimfire until I can across this vid.

    Co-rect. The Colt M1911 had it in, uh, 1911. However I bleeve that it's an innovation where a LONG arm is concerned.
