Interesting. Straight pull, ambidextrous, switch barrel. Poor man’s Blaser?

Info is hard to come by. I imagine they‘d hoped to make a big splash at the shot show

I don't know if I want to trust my face and spinal column to some ball bearings. I like locking lugs. Just me though.
Ball bearings are just a variation of roller locked and roller delayed mechanisms that have been in use for 70 years or so.

yeah, there have been a number of military arms that used mechanical leverage for delayed blowback or locking. Just me but I prefer a big ole chunk of metal rotated into a slot. The ball bearings are probably much stronger than the threads on my muzzloaders breech plug in reality.

They've been putting it up on the foregrip for a long time. It works! No readjusting. Pull, push, squeeze, repeat till click
Straight pulls have been around a long time. This one is about 130 years old. You get the strength and accuracy of a bolt gun with increased speed.
