Part of me sees the appeal, especially for something like home defense. It\u2019s short, well-balanced, and easy to use with one hand. In military hands, they seem well-suited for mechanized infantry, but they have many downsides.

It uses an AR lower receiver, specifically a standard MIL-SPEC lower with a removable trigger guard. Due to the receiver extension and buffer design, you can\u2019t use your typical AR upper. The Triad kit works with so-called \u2018bufferless\u2019 uppers or uppers with alternate buffer designs. It works with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/brownells-resurrects-another-classic-with-the-brn-180-full-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-triad-bullpup-kit-for-the-brn-180\" title=\"The Triad Bullpup Kit For the BRN 180\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"161\">BRN 180<\/a>, the PSA JAKL, the Matador Arms uppers, and the Foxtrot Mike FM-15 uppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Triad kit comes in pistol and rifle designs. The pistol variants are essentially arm pistols, like those pioneered by Bushmaster so many years ago. The rifles are, well, rifles with proper stocks. A3 Tactical sent me the BRN-180 kit, and while each is largely the same, there are some small hardware differences between the upper designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installing-the-triad-chassis\">Installing the Triad Chassis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Triad Chassis is surprisingly easy to install. You\u2019ll need to install a stripped lower and a bolt catch. Other than that, the kit comes with all the necessary goodies, including a proprietary magazine release and an AT3 trigger. It took me about an hour to get everything installed correctly. I admittedly took my time and ensured I followed the directions to a T.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"Triad gear on dinner table\" class=\"wp-image-208523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-full-kit-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You get a whole lot of stuff in the box.

A Dremel made easy work of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran into a snag with the BRN-180 upper. It turned out I had a rare early model with a small tab on the handguard. This prevented the upper from sitting correctly on the lower. I had to cut away a portion of the linkage cover, but that wasn\u2019t difficult. My upper is the proper rifle variant with the 18.5-inch barrel, so as you\u2019d imagine, the length of the gun changed mightily by turning the gun into a bullpup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snapping-in\">Snapping In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the radically different design, your face now rests on the optics rail, or at least most of it. The kit comes with a rubberized pad that allows you to rest your face on the upper without getting raked. A3 tactical included a modular carry handle\/optics rail. The modular part allows you to choose the height. I went with the low mount since I planned to use AR height optics anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"triad kit carry handle\" class=\"wp-image-208514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-optics-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With guns like the BRN 180, we run into a bridge optic situation, but it seems the extra attachment points would resolve those issues a bit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This creates a less-than-optimum design where the carry handle is bridged to the handguard. With my setup, the carry handle sits half on the optics rail and half on the handguard. This creates a less-than-optimum bridged optic setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a problem for systems like the PSA JAKL and FM-15, which have a monolithic upper receiver. On the BRN 180, the upper isn\u2019t monolithic, so the handguard moves when fired, even if it\u2019s not noticeable. The chassis kit connects to the handguard at a dedicated point, so perhaps that helps limit and prevent movement. Unlike a standard handguard, it&#8217;s not out there in the wind but supported by the chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"cheek weld adapter\" class=\"wp-image-208513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-stock-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This soft adapter makes a cheek rest comfortable and possible.

I equipped my BRN 180-infused Triad with a Holosun 510C optic and a SIG Juliet3 micro magnifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ergonomics-of-the-triad\">Ergonomics of the Triad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The JAKL and FM-15 kit would also likely have better ergonomics than the Triad. One of the problems with the BRN-180 is the dog-leg charging handle on the right side. As a rifle, it\u2019s fine, but in a bullpup kit, the charging handle is tough to reach for a right-handed shooter. The JAKL and FM-15 feature charging handles above the barrel and are reversible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"controls on triad bullpup\" class=\"wp-image-208515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-controls-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The BRN 180 charging handle isn&#8217;t the best option, but it&#8217;s really a non-issue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The proprietary magazine release creates an ambidextrous design. We have a standard magazine release and an additional button that\u2019s very well-placed and easy to activate. On the left side, this huge button allows you to grab the magazine and hit it at the same time.

I went with the long stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-triad-to-the-range\">Triad To The Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I loaded up the BRN 180 and Triad combo and hit the range. The rifle feels quite comfortable and shoulders nicely. The soft rubber cheek rest is quite comfy and allows for a great sight picture with the optics on the carry handle. My first shots involved zeroing the optics, which didn\u2019t take much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did learn quite quickly that I had to watch my grip. My hand naturally fell where the gas system met the piston. Every shot resulted in a bit of gas hitting my hand. It wasn\u2019t painful, but you feel it, and it&#8217;s a bit of a surprise. The fix was easy, so I moved my hand a little further forward, and wa-la, the problem disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"man in camo shooting rifle\" class=\"wp-image-208521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-10-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I got dressed in my LARP best and went and shot the Triad bullpup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Zeroing was not an issue, and I fired three confirmation groups to see if the bridged optics rail was a problem. It didn\u2019t seem to be. My zero was done at 50 yards, and I stepped back to 200 yards to confirm. I enjoyed hitting a 10-inch gong at 200 yards from a good kneeling position. Maybe with a precision magnified optic and a small target, I\u2019d see some accuracy issues with the bridged optic, but with a red dot and magnifier, it works just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-going-fast\">Going Fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Triad kit has an interesting recoil impulse. You feel more of the \u2018kick\u2019 portion of recoil. In a 5.56, it doesn&#8217;t matter. The recoil is insignificant, but it\u2019s more than the typical <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=5.56%20rifle\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-triad-bullpup-kit-for-the-brn-180\" title=\"The Triad Bullpup Kit For the BRN 180\">5.56 rifle<\/a>, if that makes sense. The muzzle rise portion of the recoil disappears with the radical rebalancing of the rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It handles like a freaking laser beam. A Bill Drill is so easy to shoot with this setup. The lack of muzzle rise makes the gun superbly easy to control. Just pull it tight into your shoulder and pull the trigger as fast as you want, and the gun barely moves.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"triad bullpup kit front and right side\" class=\"wp-image-208518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-front-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Triad changed how the weapon handled at the range.

To reach the charging handle, you have to use your shooting hand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"triad kit, left side\" class=\"wp-image-208511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-left-front-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Triad bullpup kit works surprisingly well with the standard controls of the BRN 180 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Triad kit and the BRN 180 played well together.

Bullpup rifles are tricky, and I understand why folks don\u2019t care for bullpups. The Triad kit does eat up a lot of your rail space, and even with the longer BRN 180 handguard, there isn\u2019t a ton of room for accessories. My Cloud Defensive OWL takes up most of the space on the handguard for accessories. Night vision guys will be aghast!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"triad in grass\" class=\"wp-image-208520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-398x300.jpg 398w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/triad-bullpup-kit-right-side-2048x1542.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Triad Bullpup kit creates an extremely compact and capable rifle.
