I believe discussions involving ditto-ing have to go in the Pirates' Cove...
But I'll agree that there is something wrong with every since human "bean" (as JT would put it). It so happens that those of us here are weird in a similar manner.

I'm thinking I might need to pick myself up one of those KME's

Maybe we're the normal ones, and its the so-called 'normal' people that are weird.
Reality is for people who can't handle abnormality.....or drugs. I can never remember which....
Besides, statistical analysis yields standard deviation....so being deviant is normal...if you do the maths.

O.k. Some of you may remember me starting a low budget AR build a month or two ago. Thought I'd update you on the progress considering it seemed like there was a lot of people that told me what I couldn't do opposed to what I can do. Not necessarily here. But you know, maybe it was my fault for asking opinions....... Anyway, I now have a complete firing rifle. I horse traded for parts here and there, shopped around, begged, barrowed, machined my own lower, mixed, matched yadda yadda yadda. Its nothing extravagant, but like I said, it is a fully functional rifle, in the 5.56 cal, I have four fully loaded 30rd. clips for it and right now how it is pictured I have $208. of my own cash money in it.
So, admittedly, the high point in the first pic doesn't belong to me, but the rest is mine. Its not all high dollar stuff but I know what I'm going to do from here. I'm going to cut down the front sight, put a extended free floating forearm on it, change the sights, and machine my own flash suppressor for it. I think when im done I'm gonna have a kick ass rifle. Still will come in the $400. range I think. The plan as of now is to take it out, do a function check, then I'm going to tear it down, have my lower custom laser engraved with the T.M.Hunt stink, reassemble with new parts mentioned above........ Think its gonna turn out pretty cool for my first one.

I did do the 80% lower, but I got two lowers, and didn't use the shitty jig. I took apart a buddies AR and took the measurements and worked off of mil spec blue prints to machine my own. Still have another lower to play with to in this whole deal.

re: bullpups
I've never fired one, but I like high energy rounds to exit the muzzle quite a bit further from my face.
Also, I like iron sights, but I recognize that's a character flaw.
well, the tavor has a full length 16.5 inch barrel. not bad.
there's also an 18 inch
also, it COMES WITH, iron sights. tritium too.
so, you know
also, if you suppress it, it's "even longer", and dead quiet.

todd: nice job on the rifle.
i'd be interested to know what "actual cost" would be, for us mere mortals that have to buy everything, or have someone do the work. i would guess you really have more time in that than cash, and horse trades are an interesting neigh-bor it's great to see it get done..
i did a two stage trigger job for the bullpup the other night. 60 seconds
course, yeah, there's a trick there... it took longer to put the extended ejected cover on, but i was also being experimental
oh hey, dinner!
lobster en sous vide
so pretty!
