How come all modern production bullpup rifles use long trigger bars? I’m assuming (maybe incorrectly) that’s what makes them notoriously mushy.
Check out the TKB-022PM. The trigger releases a backward-traveling striker, that hits a class 1 lever, that hits the firing pin. I feel like that’s got potential for a much better feeling trigger.
Well for one con, I could see that there’s probably more time between the trigger break and actual ignition. And you have an extra part, that lever, undergoing a lot of force. And how do you recock the backward striker? On the return stroke of the bolt?
Looks like the return stroke has to both chamber the next round and cock the striker. You’d need a heavy recoil spring to ensure reliable feeding.
