Air Arms Owners Club

I see that AA have launched a new bullpup rifle the "Galahad", suffice to say not my basket of herrings but, no doubt many shall consider it the rats pyjamas....
Either way good to the fruit of their innovation pipeline delivering.

Yeah, not my kettle of fish either, but will be nice to have a good look at it when I go for the tour.

Am wandering what the shot count will be? Looks like a fairly short cylinder.

Anyone know what the cost will be?

Interesting article.

Says it is based on the s400/500 "power plant"
And will be available regulated or unregulated.

I wander what system they are using to regulate them and would it be available as a spare part that could possibly fit a standard s400/500???

Its a good design where the cocking handle is. The only other bullpup with this configuration is the FX Wildcat, making you keep your firing hand near the pistol grip and trigger. I expect they are using the same regulator as in the top end field target model's. I think these will do well, and its been a while since anything new has come from Air Arms. The only question next is price. I expect anywhere from £800 - £1200 based on current bullpup pricing.

Well done AirArms for designing and making it a reality. Some talk the talk but you can't deny their innovation. We had the twin cylinder and now the bullpup...how can you knock it.

Well, it was inevitable that AA would join the bull-pup market eventually; it's the way things are going and I applaud it. However in my opinion (for what that's worth) this one looks like the progeny of a cricket bat that got humped by a Kalashnikov!

Not very keen on it in its wooden stock but it looks wicked in its black soft touch stock
In my link above the rifle shown is the carbine version i would like a close look at the full length version.
