Love me them bullpups. Does any distributor bring in stuff from the Ukraine? Is there such a thing as a 'quality Ukrainian firearm'? The pistol grip and guard look famas'y to me.

ADEX is the Azerbaijan International Defense Exhibition held in the capitol of Baku, Azerbaijan. Ukraine came out with the 7.62x39mm (Also 5.45×39 but not at the show) Malyuk. Essentially the rifle is an AK74 or AKM in the guise of a bullpup, much like many of the experimental bullpup conversions in the United States and Russia, but this one is actually being adopted by certain elements of the Ukrainian military.

This one is dead in Canada...

Probably double dead? Bullpup conversion stock and a named AK prohib?

Triple dead actualy. AK variant in a conversion stock with a Liberal government in power intent on screwing us.

I'd own a Styer AUG in a heartbeat if it wasn't so scary looking.

The only real small arms manufacturing plant Ukraine is Fort. And they assemble some IWI stuff - tavors. Also have a CZ75 derivative in production. Full cycle.

The mongrel on the pic is a scam project from government arsenal Mayak. They take existing stock AKMs from storage (produced in USSR in 1960s) and hand fitting them into bull-pup stocks.

The whole thing is a fraud to get a piece of rearmament budget. These clowns also "designed" a sniper rifle based on WW2 era anti tank rifle in 14.5mm (from surplus stock), "new" machine gun based on PKM GPMG, by adding plastic "furniture" (again from existing USSR surplus stock).

Imagine a whole factory with engineers ,workers and management which doesn't do anything meaningful, but exists on public dime.

Too bad. AKM in a bullpup stock is not gonna fly here.

Looks like an ergonomic night mare control wise.

I'd be more intent on getting a semi-auto MSBS in Canada

BlackVoid is correct that this bullpup is bastard child, no proper testing, no proper engineering. However there are some small arms makers apart of Fort, and Fort pistols are not cz75 clones, I owned both cz75 and Fort-12.

As would I, in both the standard AND bullpup configuration

you are right. My russian is not that good, i translated it wrong. It's actually says trigger group was copied from CZ-75. it's a blow back design, same as Makarov, right?

 

[Horilka]

Did not have Makarov, but Fort-12 is blow-back. It was full metal, simple, reliable and weighed less then cz75. Very economical grips. 16 rounds. Very compact and nice pistol. I miss it. But barrel is too short to be restricted in Canada.

That's hilarious. A little too close for comfort.
