Hi, i would really like to get a bullpup rifle but i really have no idea what is out there, do you think we could get a stickied thread detailing what is available/
thanks the only ones i am aware of are .... bushmaster m7 aug and aug clones the new keltec that is supposed to come out |
|
|
Available in the US:
FNH PS90 FNH FS2000 Walther G22 Also, see this list: List of bullpup firearms (Wikipedia) |
|
|
To the best of my knowledge:
Current Production MSAR STG-556 TPD AXR FNH FS2000 FNH PS90 Walther G22 Desert Tactical Arms SRS AMP DSR-1 Barrett M-99 Barrett M-97 To be Released Kel-Tec RFB Steyr AUG A3 Out of Production but Realistically Attainable Bushmaster M-17s Bushmaster ARM pistol Norinco type 86S Valmet M82 Mossberg Maverick Bullpup shotgun Out of Production and Rare GIAT FAMAS Century imported under 1000 in the late 80s prior to the import ban, I've heard 500 and 900, not sure exactly how many but good luck finding one SA-80/L85 Apperantly there are three semi auto SA-80/L85s in the US, two standard configuration one set up as a LSW. I'm actually fairly familiar with the convoluted story behind those but that's another post. Walther WA2000 less then 200 produced, available if you're willing to drop $75k I'm pretty sure that's all the bullpups that have been on the US market, if I missed any please correct me. |

Use to own
Bushmaster M17S Own now Steyr AUG Steyr USR Mossberg bullpup shotgun PS90 FS2000 standard FS2000 tactical Want to own Kel-tec RFB Norinco 86s bullpup No wish to own Walther G22 AGM-1 (I think there is only one in the US) it is a 9mm bullpup which takes Browning hi-power mags Just a dream FAMAS SA-80 That new chinese bullpup rifle Tavor |
|
|
There were 100 FAMAS semi auto copies (some sources report 120) imported into the U.S. in 1989 by Century Arms.

|
High Standard HS-10 (out of production shotgun)
|
|
|
As far as assault rifles go, I think the realistic list of weapons available in the US is:
Steyr AUG/USR MSAR STG-556, E4 TPD AXR Kel-Tec RFB Bushmaster M17S FNH PS90 FNH FS2000 The rest mentioned so far are either stupendously expensive (collectors only) or other weapon types like precision rifle, shotgun. Really not that much to choose from when you think about it. Where's our damn Tavor? |
|
|
You can also put a Mini 14, Mini 30, or 10/22 in a Muzzlelite bullpup stock.
There is also the Century Arms AK bullpup and the hard to find KVAR bullpup stocks for the AK. |
|
|
Good topic IMO –– I'll tack it for a while. (ETA: When I can find the new tack tool...
) EATA: Found the tool (actually, was told where it was in the new system ) and will tack this for a while for more input, then I will replace it with a new thread with a cleaned-up/organized list compiled from all the info submitted. |

Jager AP85 FAMAS copy in .22lr HK CAWS bullpup shotgun HK OWIC 20mm bullpup Barrett XM500 Barrett M95 M14 bullpup I cannot think of the name but there was a pump action .308 bullpup that was imported from Germany about 10 years ago. I remember they were expensive. |

It is still an awesome shotgun. I traded mine years ago and that was a huge mistake. |

I likely would have snatched up all three at that price*... but that's just me. * Actually, I would have offered him $1400 cash for all three at once and tried to reach some middle ground, if possible... but if he wouldn't budge I would have paid it. |

If you guys feel like updating/creating Wikipedia articles on weapons that are missing from this list, I'm sure there are those who would appreciate it. I'm not sure how many Wikipedia-haters there are here...
I think I might start an article on the TPD AXR. Currently, the TPD AXR and MSAR STG-556 are only mentioned in the Steyr AUG article. |
|
|
awesome list, ever since I got my PS90 I have wanted at least one more bull pup. In the final cleaned up version can you post pics too?

If you don't stand behind our troops feel free to stand in front of them.

The Kintrek KBP-1 is a .22 LR Bullpup semi-automatic rifle chambered for the .22 LR cartridge. It was manufactured for only 1 year (1991) by Kintrek Incorporated in Owensboro, Kentucky. (Wikipedia)
Really interesting rifle. Pivoting sweeper pushes spent rounds into a disposal chute to the bottom of the stock. Plastic magazines have a spiral wound spring that pulls the follower up. Squeeze grip safety. |

so,
did you guys get your Highstandards to run? I heard they were always troublsome and could never really be made 100% reliable. I would be glad to be wrong. Course, I would probably just Bullpup a S12 before I got a HS, since I'm already into that. |

I don't believe that the Pfeiffer-Waffen Handy Hunter has been mentioned yet:

Someone reads something where someone says they heard that someone else HAD problems with (fill-inda-blanques). A few thousand someones read that post & the next thing you know... it's GOSPEL or something. Nothing beats hands-on experience in my book... NOTHING! After awhile, you get e'nuff folks repeating the same cr@p over & over; it's what I call "REGURGITATING PARROT SYNDROME™" "I thought that I was wrong once... I was mistaken!" -Steven Wright The Model 10A & Model 10B POLICE bullpup shotguns were a radical departure & way ahead of their time. Whether it's a shotgun or a small carbine, it's hard to beat a full-power/compact weapon system for vehicular use & CQB; a bullpup excels in that role. Some say... that parts are NOT available & the gun is a collector's piece. Charles Cholly Steen of SARCO has 400 complete* parts kits available for the 10B series... receiver, furniture, barrel etc. The ONLY exclusion is the proverbial *KEL-LITE & mounting bracket. I tried to talk him into building those kits into guns, but he said that he already had too many irons in the fire. Fine... that gives me a lifetime's worth of parts in case something breaks or just wears out. I've owned two 10As & two 10Bs & never broke anything. Like a Benelli M1 Super90, they do not prefer "light" tactical loads & run like a champ on moderate to high powered slugs & buckshot. You can't easily run a conventional 12ga shotgun with one hand, but the High Standard bullpups are designed to be fired that way if necessary... cuffing a perp or firing from an open cruiser window with the other hand on the steering wheel. These are highly underrated weapons & those who know, covet them. Most of the bullpups you see at gun shows these days are beat to hell & mint examples command a premium. |

There's a soon-to-be-released SKS bullpup kit coming out soon. I may pony up and order one, but I'm tempted to wait until someone has one in their hot little hands to give an objective review.
