New Russian .308 bullpup?

Looks pretty darn cool and it's a radical departure from the normal Ruskie stuff.

For those who don't speak Russian:

It is necessary to tell, that after several years and realization three design-projects, it seemed to me, that designers of old school concern to weapon subjects настороженно, preferring to realize the plans in more "philanthropic" areas. It is very well swept up on the points of view of members of the commission before which protect the works. Therefore it is especially pleasant, that профессоры faculties « Industrial design » Valery Georgievich Banlorin and Anatoly Aleksandrovich Nikitin again and again address to us with the offer to pick up a theme for work with the weapon. In the autumn of 2008 I was occurred with an idea what not bad to depart from work with already existing models and fantastic концептами, having tried to work with a perspective model preparing manufacture which external shape else is not certain. And such weapon was... Engineer-gunmaker Alexander Shevchenko is known to fans of the weapon from the middle 90. Its experimental "Cheetah" has done a lot of noise that has managed to get in some directories as serially let out Russian weapon. Alexander and now continues service in a department of tests of a small arms and means of near fight of the Rzhev range, working above improvement of existing systems of the weapon and developing original new samples. Tula "«íÚѼáÞ-center" has undertaken manufacturing of one of such samples in the same place are conducted works on preparation for manufacture of 9-mm of a pistol of Evgenie Yefimov ПЕ-9. It is a question of an original design of the semi-automatic carbine constructed under the scheme of "булл-daddies". Originality consists, first of all, in unique compactness ствольной boxes with minimized выбегом a shutter, and also in the device of the gas engine which, on a plan of the designer, will provide high reliability of the sample without negative influence of mobile weights on кучность shooting. How much this all corresponds to the validity, we shall see already soon - is planned to finish two carbines up to этана test by shooting in the autumn. For now we have an opportunity to look at shape of the new weapon. Offered by graduate Muhinskogo of school Andrey Ovsyannikov in its degree project. It is clear, that Andrey scooped inspiration in modern foreign samples of the fighting and civil weapon that should affect the offered concept.

Semi-automatic carbine «Сарыч» (.308 Win)

The shooting device of the weapon to which the designer has named «Сарыч», is concluded in a polymeric casing as plastic provides rather simple realization of the most courageous design and ergonomic ideas. The project provides an opportunity of adjustment and change затыльника a butt and overlays on the handle of management of fire, rearrangement of the handle of raising of a shutter, installation of any optical aim adaptations. Auxiliary devices a lantern, laser целеуказатель, can be attached to a forward part of a box on any of available планок. In massive цевье it is hidden developing biped сошка with adjustable height of racks. The mechanical sight is made cleaned: the basis of a front sight develops, and диоптрический the sight "is hidden" in the basis of a rod «пикатини». Multi-variant approach of fastening of a belt for переноски the weapon is stipulated also.

Semi-automatic carbine «Сарыч» (.308 Win)

It is necessary to tell, that Andrey could not be kept and has worked above development of initially civil design under possible fighting application with a mode of automatic fire. For this purpose it has offered system of trunks of various length which vary together with a forward part of a box, transforming the weapon or in the compact assault weapon, or in similarity of a manual machine gun. And, it is necessary to note, what even in a compact variant the system of Shevchenko does not turn to "недо-weapon" owing to the concept of "булл-daddies" and features of the device of the given sample. Judge at the general length of the weapon about 900 mm a design of Shevchenko allows to have a trunk in length more than 700 mm! Accordingly, at length of a trunk, for example, in 45 sm, the general length of the weapon will make hardly more than 60 sm in fighting position. I do not see sense in this clause to concentrate attention on merits and demerits «буллпапов» in general and a carbine of Shevchenko, in particular. I think, that it is better to return to this question hardly later when in our hands already there will be a shooting sample. And, I am absolutely assured, that the first samples will be issued in author's design of the designer as work with greater polymeric elements demands enormous monetary expenditure which at the given stage are not absolutely justified. And here when the designer will be assured of the system when all completions will be already behind and there will be a question of preparation of model to a batch production, Andrey Ovsyannikov's ideas can be quite demanded. By the way, I shall dare to assume, that the given publication magazine " КАЛАШНИКОВ " can confuse foreign fans of the weapon as the majority of them to cyrillics concern as to any abracadabra, and appearance of a breadboard model on a cover and in clause quite "commodity". And the next sample of the weapon of Alexander Shevchenko long before the beginning of serial release will get in foreign directories as the unique Russian weapon. And specially that to foreigners hardly to facilitate a life, I shall add to not clear them to letters quite international figures:

Calibre - .308 Win., the general length of 906 mm, length of a trunk of 720 mm, capacity of shop - 10 патр., weight without optics and cartridges - 4 kg.
