UK-legal, belt-fed, .44 Magnum bullpup lever-action
This is a really great article about an enterprising man who, all on his own, created a bullpup, belt-fed, .44 magnum, lever-action using a Ruger 96/44 as the basis of the rifle. Not only that; but it is a legal rifle in the UK as well it seems.

This is just so ingenious as a work around. I'd pay for the CADD program to make the belt feed system. Hats off to him.

Wow, that is unbelievably cool. Time for a new Henry design. Make mine in .357.

That's awfully neat, but if somebody gets the idea to do that to a Win '73 or the like... I think I'd dirty myself.
