Dude, that guy was in inspiration for me to build my own inline vortex. All I did was make it a bullpup with the block in the rear. That dude is awsome.

Gun is 1.5 inches in diameter, 18 inches long, with a 24 inch aluminum barrel. Feeding issues: the block was too wide, solution was to grind down the block's sides to allow unob...
