Product Features

Ultra-compact overall length
Forward-positioned controls above the magazine area enable a shortened operating system for an exceptionally compact package.

True modular compatibility via interchangeable mag wells
Swap mag wells to match your setup: short/long action sizes and multiple magazine patterns (AICS, AR-style, etc.), supporting a broad .223 Rem – .338 Lapua target range (final compatibility list to be confirmed).

Fast cartridge changes with barrel/trunnion assemblies
Planned barrel + trunnion combo approach simplifies caliber swaps and helps maintain repeatable alignment across configurations.

Straight-pull action for smooth, fast cycling
A straight-pull operating feel designed for quick follow-up shots—paired with modular controls to fit different users and preferences.

Adjustable bolt travel (cartridge-matched bolt stops)
Install different bolt stops to limit bolt travel to “just enough” for the cartridge—supporting faster cycling and a dampening effect that helps reduce internal impact and wear.

Convertible left- or right-side ejection (simple bolt swap)
Set up for left or right ejection with a toolless bolt swap; the same bolt supports either ejection direction (a different bolt is required for caliber changes).

Free-float handguard + rigid top-rail mounting for zero retention
Free-floating handguard design, with the top rail intended to mount solidly to the trunnion and receiver to support consistent zero through handling and configuration changes.

User-fit ergonomics and modular interfaces
Interchangeable pistol grips, adjustable length of pull, and interchangeable bag rider options to tailor comfort, balance, and rear support.

Premium trigger system (patent pending)
A refined trigger design in development with patent-pending elements focused on consistent feel.

Dust cover (in development)
Dust cover design is still being finalized as development continues.
