A better bullpup trigger. (www.youtube.com)

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?

I've been looking at modern bull-pups for a bit, mostly because I think they are kinda cool and like the idea of a compact rifle. From the reviews I've seen the trigger is reportedly much improved on some of these new models. This is all 2nd hand info though.

Some conventional bolt actions do that (or at least partially) so I don't see why not

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.
