Little OT (I hope You don't mind) but I think You might be interested:
one of Polish bull-pup projects: BIN-21 rifle based on 5,56mm Beryl wz.96.
It was one of the Military Academy of Technology student's thesis.
Note the P-rail mounted on the gas tube, thumb safety lever, folded iron sights and bigger mag-release lever.

The student made a conceptual model for testing:

Those assault rifles (i.e. BOZ-1 and BIN aka kbk wz.97) were made by Military Technical University students as their masters diploma (Bozejko - BOZ-1 and Binek BIN/BIN-21).

These are all prototypes?

[REMOV]

These are all prototypes?The Russian Shkval is a prototype, the K-3 status is unknown in my opinion is also a prototype, and the BIN and BOZ-1 are more or less concept models (but fully functional). The only AK/AK-74-based bullpup design which have a little chance to be adopted is Ukrainian Vepr. But I'm doubt about it. More such AKM/AK-74-designs are Chinese Type 86S, Finnish Valmet M82, South African Vector CR-21, Serbian Yugoimport M85, Russian A-91M, OC-14 Groza (AKS-74U-based), A-91.

Is it possible to change the side of the ejecting brass on one of them?

[bluered12]

Does anyone know the current status of the CR-21? There were rumors it will be adopted by the South African army, but IHMO the South Africans are still using the R-4/5/6.

Vtw does anyone know the barrel lengths of the different OC-14 variants?
The basic version (OC-14-4a) has a 415mm barrel, but what about the others (OC-14-4a-01 / 02 /03)?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the current status of the CR-21?The whole project is closed. The CR-21 wasnt't produced (except a few prototypes) and it will not be.
Vtw does anyone know the barrel lengths of the different OC-14 variants? The basic version (OC-14-4a) has a 415mm barrel, but what about the others (OC-14-4a-01 / 02 /03)?Ekhm... 9mm OC-14-4A-01 (Groza-4) barrel length is 240mm not 415 mm. The 7.62mm OC-14-1A-01 Groza-1 barrel length is 415 mm.
