Imagine a bullpup icon from the ’90s—FN’s P90, that sci-fi fever dream of a PDW with its top-mounted mag and integrated everything—getting a full makeover that screams 2026. Strike Industries just unveiled their Modular P90 Chassis at SHOT Show previews, and it’s not just a skin; it’s a game-changer hitting shelves soon. This bad boy swaps the polymer shell for a customizable aluminum skeleton with M-LOK slots fore and aft, AR-pattern grips, adjustable stocks, and even optics-ready milling. We’re talking drop-in compatibility with the original P90 upper, but now you can slap on modern suppressors, red dots, or even convert it for pistol braces without Frankenstein-ing the whole setup. Strike’s not reinventing the wheel; they’re turbocharging a cult classic that’s been starved for aftermarket love.

Why does this matter for the 2A crowd? The P90 has always been a niche darling—compact, 50-round 5.7x28mm mag dumps for home defense or SHTF—but its proprietary guts locked out innovation. Enter Strike’s chassis: it democratizes the platform, letting builders mix FN reliability with AR ergonomics and affordability. Priced under $400 (based on Strike’s track record), it’s a middle finger to the exotic = expensive myth, potentially flooding the market with customized P90s that outperform stock while staying NFA-compliant for SBR builds. In a post-brace rule world, this modular magic opens doors for pistol configurations that skirt registries, fueling the custom PDW renaissance alongside platforms like the MPX or Honey Badger.

The implications ripple wide: expect a surge in 5.7mm adoption as this chassis bridges old-school cool with Gen Z tactical vibes, drawing in new shooters tired of AR clones. For industry watchers, it’s Strike flexing their PDP and EMP chassis dominance into bullpups, pressuring bigger players like FN to loosen up on parts. 2A wins when innovation like this hits shelves—grab one early, because once the hype train leaves the station, P90 resale values are about to moon. Who’s building first?
