Tinker,

That is exactly what I mean. The patent covers the breech and firing mechanism fro what I understand. The furniture is only to demonstrate the compactness of the prototype. There are both Italian and Austrian bullpup rifle single shot designs that are extremely compact, but this suggests to a non-engineer like me that it has possibilities for building a very compact hunting shotgun or rifle that complies with the legal requirements for overall minimum length, and still has a longer barrel than is otherwise possible.

Having seen the guns that Signor Rigido builds and sells - and some of them are really nice classically styled shotguns and rifles - my guess is that if someone could pull off a radical design built to a shape that is familiar to most of us, he could do it. We still haven't seen the final version - I clearly pointed out that this is his prototype to show how compact a gun made to this design would be.

Love how some jump on someone trying to do something different whether it is Joseph Szecsei with his double bolt, Joerg Biesewinkel with his Steinkamp bullpup O/U, or now Marco Rigido. Heck, all of these are people trying to build a better mousetrap. I can't see the point in railing at someone for trying to do something different . . .

Good hunting!
