This is one of the most innovative firearms ive seen in a while and has potential. A great idea of thinking outside the box and I wonder how well this idea would work in a rifle?
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
With modern day with bullpup designs like the Tavor to keep the rifle short I'm not sure of it's practicality, other than the ability to make the bullpup design so short the magazine would be underneath your armpit or make the grip the magazine well (assuming short enough calibers).
It is actually a fairly old concept. Someone can also comment on the actual 'locking block' style handgun with 'reversed cartridge into the magazine' it was copied from. There are several machine gun designs that pull the rounds from a non-linked belt that you can use for the action design example, such as the MG42:

I'm hoping BA never comes out with the 4.2". My XR9-L will be worth $4000 in a decade.
Then again I wouldn't mind having the BA version.
There is something familiar about this design... maybe Ernie Boberg used some ideas from it (trying to be classy with my bump on this topic):
