Just came across this rifle on Youtube and it seems fascinating! A pivoting bullpup pistol caliber carbine.

Another competitor to the folding PCC market. All aluminum too (other than the grip), instead of a lot of plastic like the Sub2000 and the new S&W FPC (which I really like!)

Does anyone know if this even has an FRT? If it does manage to find its way here it certainly won't be cheap given it costs 1800 USD...

 
16" barrel standard, doubtful that we'd get a non restricted version in Canada. But you never know. It's good to have options.
 
Interesting bolt design. 21" in length when pivoted, 26" deployed. Add 2" to that for Canada, plus some of the aesthetic will be spoiled. I much prefer the depth (and Glock mags) over the M&P FPC. I don't like: need to remove mag to pivot, cheek weld looks impossible?, locking through the action may be a challenge? Overall I'm not sold on the benefit of it pivoting - only reduces 5", whereas S2K and FPC reduce by 16"+? I'm more sold on it being a pcc bullpup.

I'm sold on the idea of it being a bullpup alongside the interesting pivot method. While it doesn't get that much smaller when you pivot for storage, it still reduces in size quite a bit. Additionally, I like that it has a full length barrel in a generally compact package compared to the FPC and the Sub2000. And keep in mind this is basically full aluminum vs mostly plastic, which is another thing I like.
 
For sure, but I'd need to hold it to check that cheek fit before dropping ~$2500+.

What bullpup PCCs are available in Canada? Tavor X95 9mm? Shame that Hi-Point 995 kit isn't allowed (as a budget option). Guessing Pivot would be similar price point to Tavor, but with added twistyness?

There is a newly released bullpup conversion kit for Glock but per the Firearms Act, "Bullpup conversion kits for existing firearms that can fire without the stock" are prohibited in Canada so it's likely moot.
