A3 Tactical's Triad Bullpup chassis is what you just saw. It takes any FM-15 upper (including their new .300BLK). They also make a version for the BRN-180 and PSA JAKL. I've got one on pre-order, should see it next month.
First off, when he was talking about the gas tube he said "fuel injection fitting", and I heard "watt's link" in the trigger on the bullpup. I'm beginning to think they're a bunch of truck guys.
The 45 degree gas block should have been done in the AR market years ago because it's the most reliable way to perfectly line up a gas block AND clean the gas system after firing. Just fit the block in place loose, stick an appropriately sized allen wrench in the hole into the barrel to line it up, then tighten the lock screws, or pin in place, whichever you like most. If done properly it would even work with standard gas tubes and wouldn't require a custom bent tube.
"By the way Denton, did you see what happened to the soldier we sent into the statue? He turned up dead." "He had an assault gun. I wanted it." "I am opening an investigation. Dismissed."
Unfortunately they don't. However, on Tactical Hyve Coch was showing his bullpup conversion using the same Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. It ejected the brass forward rather than to the side but with an ordinary AR-15/M16 ejection port and cover, nothing complicated like the Desert Tech forward eject (which as of a few days ago is now discontinued, side eject only now).
You all could use that bullpup chassis with a Gibbz lefty upper. The NON recriprocaring charging handle would be on the upper, on the same side as shooter
If you are looking for a more standard ar bullpup, check out the FAMAR. You need to 3D print it, but that in itself is an advantage. Initially I just looked at it more as as cosmetic work but after shooting it a while it has become my favorite bullpup, more so than the AUG. It's about 3" longer in OAL than the Foxtrot.
Impressive stuff. Great design and attention to detail with what Foxtrot Mike guns are doing right now. Simplicity in a firearm means a reliable firearm.
Got to love stuff that's off the beaten path. I know a guy who own nothing but Sigs and Daniel Defense ARs, what a horrible way to go through life. Missing out on something like this and damn near everything Kel-Tec has ever made. 🤯🤯🤯
Yep yep. However, the TRIAD is what it is because of the Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. Gotta give FTM and other similar bufferless upper manufacturers the credit they deserve or there would be no TRIAD.
These AR based bullpups make getting a bullpup cost effective and with readily compatible AR sourced parts if you need to replace something. The other bullpups like IWI, DT, SF, etc. are great but proprietary and parts are not plentiful, you can't just grab parts anywhere and go like you can with AR based bullpups. That's the difference. Unfortunately a con is that full ambi is not available in AR based bullpups. Pros and cons to everything right.
As an armorer and builder for over 22 years, I'm going to beg you to come up with a gas block for install on mil-spec barrels that uses that gas-tube! Please! That is incredibly elegant and speeds up a step that can be extremely frustrating. It also means that a catastrophic blow-out at the gas tube, which is an intended failure point, can be swapped out in the field with minimal training.
That 45 degree gas port on the barrel sounds like a bad idea. The soviets experienced bullet shearing at their 45 degree port when they switched to 5.45, which led them to change the AK74 gas port to 90 degrees
Эту газовую трубку можно вставить в АР систему перед установкой ствола вместе с ним , и снять так же вместе со стволом на сколько я понял . На запрессованом стволе это уже невозможно будет сделать . This gas tube can be inserted into the AR system before installing the barrel with it , and removed as well with the barrel as far as I understood . It will no longer be possible to do this on a pressed barrel .
If they made it any shorter they could make a holster for it, and create the worlds greatest sidearm. At least until they come out with a bullpup shotgun pistol with triple tubes like that tavor shotgun.
Oh wow, the 9 inch .300 blk is really interesting.... is there an arm pistol variant with no stock I wonder? Edit: nevermind I just answered my own question. Yes it exists and now I want one.
In .40 Super with saboted 62 grain whatever, either M855A1 or ALCO's 0.45 ballistic coefficient bullet (both about one inch long) with a good puller sabot design one should be able to hit 3,000 fps in a six inch barrel. Easily in an eight inch barrel. Longer magazines would be required due to diameter increase, but M4 carbine+ ballistics in a weapon a little over a foot long. Lots less gunpowder burned to achieve the same or better muzzle energy.
That's AWESOME!!!! I LOVE BULLPUPS!!!! It's so much better than a short barrel AR. I have several AR's, but the shortest one I have is in 300blk at 10.3". You waste too many FPS going below a 12.5" 5.56.
The ONLY issue I see is the height of the sight over bore especially since this would be for closer distances. This looks great but is it practical and usable is my question.
Like the other person said, that is a handle that you can take off. It doesn't require your optic to be that tall over bore if you don't want it to be.
The fas block and extension being part of the barrel is great but why go to the trouble of the muzzle break when people want to put on their own muzzle devices anyway?
So which barrel are we looking at here? Are these new features to be used in the 300BLK barrel that we can buy from A3 along with the TRIAD chassis? I like the built in KeyMO muzzle device.
Bullpup is cool. Too bad it was only the final 1/3 of the video. I dont think people are super excited about that one-piece barrel. I could be wrong though…
Would be nice if they just use standard milspec barrel instead of custom. You know, because people dont just shoot what ever caliber the company chooses.
Again, nobody ask the question of estimated price point or possible price point, as well as possible release or estimated release like why are we leaving these questions out cool the guy explained a lot of things that sound very awesome but ask these questions along with many more
Price is about $1200-$1300 for the whole thing. I am basing that off of my own purchase. The release date for pre orders on A3 Tactical's website is Feb 1.
After talking with the owner, they currently have 300blk and 5.56mm/223, but also functional prototypes of 7.62x39mm and 5.45! They're sending me one of these soon to check out, so stay tuned for a full review once I get one.
My wife needs this.... she has a weak back longer guns are hard for her to hold up for long periods. Not on their web site yet. I wonder how much it will be?
if they made it forward ejecting, like the fs2000 or keltec rfb, you wouldn't have to worry about ejection issues on the offhand shoulder. definitely cool though
You stole my idea, but im more than happy it's been realized! Haha ever since i saw the Springfield hellions ambidextrous and great ergonomics and the sig rattlers compact size I've alway said to myself that people could make a compact bull pup with ar15 compatability (as much as is reasonable) that would make original ar15 dated. The future is smaller guns, with no compromise on the already existing capabilities we all know and love and expect. I called it the ar killer lol this thing is awsome! Ima buy one.
The A3 Tactical Modular Bullpup Chassis is so sick. I have a Foxtrot Mike upper ready to go whenever A3 starts shipping these out (February 2024 hopefully). These two companies are making basic bitch ARs obsolete.
@@RyTrapp0 I have an SKS in a bullpup chassis, several precision rifles in far too much money worth of dresses too, cheap crap, expensive crap, but why bother to buy an AR that you can't fix if the designed failure point -fails-. Literally, the gas tub is supposed to be a cheap, interchangeable part on these guns. I guess if you are doing it for shits and giggles go for it, not my money. but for the cash of these you can get just about any rifle on the market and most of those you can just buy parts for from any old OEM you'd like.

He is an idiot! But he has some great guys that are the brains behind the scenes.
Truck guys building their dream truck guns.
The All-American working man.
The Watt's link is actually perfect for in a Bullpup. I imagine the take-up and break feels a lot better than any other Bullpup on the market.
You caught us, a few of us here have a history in aftermarket automotive suspensions. Some of it does tend to sneak out without realizing it
"Foxtrot Mike: We never pull out!"
Put that shit on a SHIRT!🤣🤣

@@bloodking73I was thinking the same thing. Would love to get one of these things and slap a Dahl paintjob on it
Now THAT is what im talkin about. Some new gun technology, new weapon systems, and ofcourse new weapons in general. Love it
I've been a bullpup enjoyer ever since I fell in love with the FAMAS, the p90, and the X95, and this looks just like my cup of tea
I wish they made this bullpup that could be flipped to eject left side for the southpaws like the VHS 2. The ultra compactness form factor is insane
As someone who is wrong handed i agree
I want to see a bullpup with the ARX-100's quick change ejection, but with an external button so you could switch sides on the fly.
Unfortunately they don't. However, on Tactical Hyve Coch was showing his bullpup conversion using the same Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper.

The one piece barrel is great if the price is reasonable.
I dont think you will be able to buy it on its own. I think it is purely for their Mike uppers.
@@Schregger Yea, not quite standard AR pattern stuff, just AR architecture based in this case

Wow Foxtrot Mike has some tempting innovation!😮
Definition of close quarter combat weapon!!😮
I've been wanting a bull pup like that for decades.
This is exactly what I was looking for FM is really innovative man
That barrel is the most practical barrel design I've ever seen.
One upgrade to be perfect. Drill and tap for gas flow control.
Impressive stuff. Great design and attention to detail with what Foxtrot Mike guns are doing right now. Simplicity in a firearm means a reliable firearm.
Agreed. Also reminds me that I've got to beg these guys for a bullpup lower for review
More info on that bullpup please...looks Nice
I believe that is the Triad bullpup kit, uses any milspec AR lower and a bufferless upper from Brownells, Foxtrot Mike, Palmetto or Matador.
@@herbderbler1585 Thank you!
This version of the AR-15 is actually better and cooler than the regular AR-15.
This company has really been impressive these last couple years. I hope they keep it going with innovation.

Now you can appendix carry with your AR.
The Triad is the real story here - getting my preorder ready now!
Yep yep. However, the TRIAD is what it is because of the Foxtrot Mike FM15 upper. Gotta give FTM and other similar bufferless upper manufacturers the credit they deserve or there would be no TRIAD.
Looking forward to seeing more of this particular bullpup
Beautiful gun. Would make a killer home defense or vehicle weapon with how compact it is.
100% agree
Normally don't care for Foxtrot Mike or bullpups, but that's some cool shit right there. I want one.
A rifle length barrel would be nice.
That's the Triad bullpup system, compatible with many FM uppers, including rifle length.
They have it, I bought it. It's 16".
I want a skeletal version off this! Less polymer material on the gun
Bullpup love
Now this is a real super shorty!
wish all these AR style bullpups we are seeing were ambi/reverse ejecting like the aug, x95, mdr, rdb, fs2000, etc.
then get one of those
@@eyeamstrongest Already did.

FM is doing excellent work reducing the modularity of the ar15.

It will no longer be possible to do this on a pressed barrel .
There are other AR manufacturers that use 45 degree gas ports, most notably LMT. I'd say it's a non-issue.
The magpul PDR dream is becoming real.
I don’t believe they said the name name of the product, but the bullpup chassis is called Triad, from A3 tactical.
If they made it any shorter they could make a holster for it, and create the worlds greatest sidearm. At least until they come out with a bullpup shotgun pistol with triple tubes like that tavor shotgun.

Comes out in like 5 years for like 2000 dollars
LOL it's already out for $1200. Pre-orders ship Feb 1. Already ordered mine.
I need this in 300blk. Backpack gun for sure. Keep the suppressor attached though.
