When you’re a gun guy with your own machine shop you get to do cool stuff, like modify your Bushmaster M17s. That’s what K&M Aerospace’s owner did. And after the forums got ahold of the custom M17s the inquires started rolling in . . .
The feed back was so positive and the demand so high the boss formed a new company: K&M Arms. Their bullpup greatly resembles the original Bushmaster M17s. Better yet, K&M addressed the issues bedevilling the Bushmaster M17s: feeding issues and double taps.

K&M Arms has been making a version of their M17s in 5.56 for a while now. Their recently released .308 version made its debut at SHOT Show. The K&M Arms M17S308 looks — and feels — like a winner.
The adjustable trigger’s excellent, better than any factory bullpup trigger I’ve shot (including the upgraded Tavor trigger). The M17S308’s finish was flawless, as you’d expect from a firearm produced from an aerospace machine shop.
In fact the rifle feels like a custom built gun. As it should for $1999.
And I’ll second it jwm. I too am in my 60’s and no longer have a desire to fight anyone but, if you bring it to me, I’ll do my best to end it. I plan on seeing my grandkids haves kids!
Not only are guns shooting themselves, they *allow* a massive government slaughter to take place. I wonder how much the incendiary teargas canisters bear the blame. Or that the fact that the allegedly illegal guns which prompted the massacre (machine guns, IIRC) weren’t even there, and charges related to them were ultimately dropped.

Perfect. 😀
““Women prefer to always look and feel attractive (even while hunting),…”
Plenty of *very* attractive women down here deliberately dress-down grungy and go sans-makeup to reduce being hassled by guys. Their social-romantic lives are doing just fine and they don’t need to ‘advertise’…

Don’t get me wrong, that’s technically okay for statistical analysis, if you were actually doing analysis (this isn’t). But examining 30-50 people isn’t really that big of a sample size as far as human populations go. But if you were to do analysis, you could use the data to compare to national data to see if there is a significant difference in rates.
I’m on the list for a K&M M17s 308. Three things convinced me that this .308 bullpup is the one I’ve been waiting for.
1. The robust bolt and bolt carrier. It’s freaking built like a tank – looks like something the Swiss would make. I was seriously considering the Desert Tech MDR, but I thought the MDR bolt looked breakable. Not that I’ve seen anything negative about it, but was just going on appearances. When I saw how the K&M Bolt worked, that was it – enough for me to make up my mind.
2. The chassis is all metal and seems to be beyond built-proof. Not like all the other plastic guns. I really like this.
3. The trigger – high quality adjustable trigger. Awesome!
It’s like someone actually built a gun that someone like me wants and doesn’t have to figure out how to upgrade it.
