Mice i am sure BSA have released a Bullpup, you can also buy Bullpup stock kits for most guns. Craftsman Vit is one sells through BAR.

Look forward to seeing your build Ultrastu

 Be very interested to see what you do with the trigger. 

I'll be following this post.

reason stu is doing it figgy is because of his disgust with what bsa have done regards their bullpup. Bit of winding up on another thread, now its time to sit back and learn.

Thanks guys. 

The plan isnt to make it too complicated .i want a short,  light gun that i can throw in the decoy bag .for when the best shot on a pige is with an airgun .so as its to be used and abused a bit .i didnt want to spend a lot of money on a ready made pup. The scorp ,as seen, was 350 quid. Think the extra bits i need shouldnt be much more than £50 .so £400 total should be ok by me. 

I plan on keeping the rear bolt where it is. And face on the breech block.

There isnt an aftermarket  pup conversion for any bsa. 

The bar ones are for hw s  .aas . Benjamins .hatsan  etc .

[figgy]

Wonder why they never made one for a BSA, as for face on breech block you could put a gel comb raiser on it soften it up a bit.

Do you shout "BANG" whilst pretending to pull the trigger?

[Ultrastu]

No i go "futtt " when i DO pull the trigger. 

[Walker570]

Thought you mispelt that as you saw the squirrel exit left

[Guest stevo]

The Bisley mags look very tidy there stu , they where always my go to in .177 ???

[Mice!]

you know you can't reach the trigger don't you 

[Ultrastu]

The  is soo light i cant feel it .

Its gonna be 610 mm in length with out the stumpy mod and 700 mm with it 

[Guest]

I'm a bit confused with the location of your hands in relation to the trigger and breech. What's the plan exactly?

[Ultrastu]

So the new (second )  trigger goes where my hand is and a linking rod goes back to the original trigger .What the pic shows is eye relief and scope positioning .

Basically the stock will be shortened by 200 mm from the butt and moved forwards .

[Ultrastu]

Trigger linkages 

 

[Mice!]

can you tell at this stage how the trigger will feel being done like this?

[Ultrastu]

Yeah the last one is sweet .

A touch heavier than standard cos it now has 2 triggers and springs but its fine and feels very positive 

[Mice!]

belting  i was wondering how you were going to do it.

[Ultrastu]

Cheers this is the latest  incarnation 

Mk6 ? 

Anyway its not as positive as a straight bar. But it does make more room for the pistol grip and should allow the stock to fix onto the bolt easier .
