First Look: PSA Olcan Bullpup Jakl Conversion

Palmetto State Armory has just bullpuped the Jakl with the new Olcan, available as complete rifles and standalone lowers.

The long-awaited bullpup conversion kit for the PSA Jakl is finally here, and it’s called the Olcan. Available as either a complete rifle or as a standalone lower for mating with your Jakl upper, the Olcan was one of the winners of PSA’s concept gun poll from SHOT Show. Its release doesn’t just introduce another bullpup option to the market, but it gives Jakl owners a cool way to shorten their rifle without compromising ballistics.

For 5.56 Jakl uppers, the Olcan lower will work with 16-, 14.5-, 13.7- and 10.5-inch barrel lengths. In .300 BLK, it is compatible with the 14.5-inch upper but not the 8.5-inch upper. Naturally, NFA barrel length rules still apply. As complete rifles, the Olcan will come with either a SilencerCo ASR or a Dead Air Keymo pin-and-weld muzzle device. When just purchasing an Olcan lower, it will come with a color-matched Die Free Co. grip (black or FDE), a mil-spec safety, an ambidextrous mag release and a Picatinny cheek riser for attaching to the upper.

Olcan complete rifles and standalone lowers will launch on December 12th at 4:30 PM EST, but MSRPs have not yet been announced.
