Misc Muzzelite Marlin Camp Carbine Bullpup chassis
I know bullpup conversions are prohibited but I just wanted to show off something neat for a NR firearm.

I remember pre 2020, bullpups were undesirable and viewed as having shit triggers and awkward ergonomics.
Now everyone wants one.

I think the 2020-2025 era where bullpups were just the best rifles available gave everyone rose coloured glasses

I mean the tavor x95s were quite sweet and abundant. I would have loved the VHS-2 here. The other options were had was Type 97, M17s, Tavor 7, Kel-Tec RFB, Kel-Tek RDB, FN FS2000, IWI TAR 21

The T97 and RDB were miles better than anything else in the price range

Always wanted a T97. They felt so niche

I regret selling it to this day. The mag release sucked but was otherwise phenomenal. Ate everything I fed it without complaint and was more accurate than I ever was.

The RDB is legitimately a fine rifle. Definitely better than any other semi 5.56 for $1200 in 2022. The T97 may have had a shit safety and mag release, but it was extremely reliable, accurate enough, and cheap.
Like what was a better $1500 rifle? Definitely not a 180. Maybe more accurate, but reliability is my #1 priority. I don't care if its 1 MOA out of the box if it can't shoot

Did you have one? I did and had no issues whatsoever. Set gas settings correctly and you're good to go. Get the heavy barrel version and you don't get overheating issues.

4MOA with a Tavor is a you problem, but the point of that rifle isn't accuracy. There's a reason most people used aftermarket triggers that are very nice.

Nah, you just suck at shooting. 4MOA is terrible for a Tavor.
Or just save up your allowance for a better trigger like everyone else, 2.5 lbs is pretty nice. No creep. Maybe then you can beat 4MOA but you'll still have to work on your form.
I don't think you know what objectively means.

yeah because no one wants a 22 inch barrel sticking out their 5 shot gun in a non bull up

I don't know about that. The Tavor was a hot commodity on the market for a while, largely because it was extremely exotic, as the Americans couldn't get it until IWI started up US production, and Type 97s fairly flew off shelves when they arrived in 2013.
If anything, their popularity only declined towards 2020 with the launch of all the NR rifles patterned off BCL's 102.

I had one of those stocks for my mini-14 when I was like 17. I've never felt something so cheaply made in my life. It reminded me of plastic they make Easter eggs out of. I loved it though because it was in Terminator 2, but it was nearly useless in action. After a few years I just put the original wood stock back on it and sold the muzzle light stock for like $50 US.
