enfieldspares Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I have a .177 Scorpion T-10 sub 12ft/lbs, and, yes, the most accurate pellet is the Bisley Magnum. Mine is in the plastic fantastic stock. But if you ever wanted to sell that wood stock from yours I'd be most interested.

Ultrastu Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I got it in the stock today and shooting. I even managed to zero it before dark . Really pleased with it so far . The stock is a bit short in the pull at 12 inches.but if i make it longer my face comes off the breech which isnt good . Though at this length is perfect for the kids .the trigger is a touch close to the vertical pistol grip for my hands but again ideal for the kids. Its very light for what it is . Its even over 1/2 a kilo lighter than a bsa ultra .which given the longer barrel and air tube im very pleased with . Cheers stu With the silencer off its 605 mm from muzzle to top of comb. And 615 to bottom of comb. So just legal .and 705 mm with the silencer on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Interesting project and good to see it finished 👍 I like the concept of bullpups but never held one with great ergonomics. 3D printing could be a game changer. I would be interested in a 3D printed bullpup stock for my S410 when my boys are a little older. Perhaps with barrel clamps for the scope, as there is close to zero recoil it should hold zero.

clangerman Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 what a nice job you made of it well done a bull pup would really suit me but I just can’t get over the ugly look of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted May 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks very much . I took it down the farm this afternoon as is .just to zero it and find its fave pellet turns out its jsb exact (no suprise ) It was shooting easy 15mm groups at 35 yds and the trigger although there is a touch of creep in the second stage- its so little as to not be a worry .see the group sizes above . The stock needs a bit of shaping yet and then a paint job and it will be done . Oh and i got 75 shots from 200 bar also Double bonus .

Mr.C Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 As for looks Stu, as you did invite comment, a bit chunky for my taste but each to their own. Is the bracing piece behind the pistol grip necessary for strength or for balance? I would also shave back the lump in front of the trigger and thin the fore end. Just my personal taste but commendation for creating a working bullpup. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks for the comments . Yeah i was also looking at the fore end thinking i could loose a bit of depth. I like the small lump forward of the trigger same as on the wildcat and p15 and other pups The rear section below the bolt is where the other trigger is so cant be any smaller . The stem to the back of the pistol grip could be a bit thinner i suppose .but im using idigbo wood and its not the strongest of species. Though very light .it needs the size for strength . As far as painting v stain and oil . The wood is easily dented and scratched. So the paint Works better at protecting it than oil . 51 minutes ago, Demonic69 said: Show us the business side, you know you want to I dont understand this ??

I was going to bullpup a Mosin a few yeas back, had a design for a straight pull cocking lever that would operate the original bolt. Ended up selling the gun before things got silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 As others have said it looks good, but could go on a little diet. Depends if oiled or painted. Visually on MK2 I would align the line of the thumb hole and the stock drop. If painted I think the overall silhouette suits a matt black/olive for a ‘modern’ feel.

Ultrastu Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I know what you mean about a bit chunky . Thing is this gun is really small and the wood is actually really small as is . If i slim it down more for asthetics it could possibly loose its ergonomics Which are working pretty well for me and my boy at the mo . He had a play and said it feels perfect for him even as a left hooker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 True, looks much smaller against a human scale 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 My boy is only 11 and a bit small for his age too . He is quite excited by it . Looking forward to getting him out on the stubbles later in the year after pige This pup will be spot on for him..as long as we can figure out a rest for the forend to take the weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 One of the big disadvantages of bullpups is that they usually have a very high barrel bore to scope line distance Often around 2.5 - 3 inches high. This can make short range shots very hard to judge holdover .making them poor for ratting and far from idea for hft Though the high sope line can help with long range shots around 40 yds plus. This pup has only a 2 inch high scope /bore line .which is only just higher than a standard rifle set up at 1.6 - 1.8 inches. This is due to the excellent low breech of the bsa scorpion. Making this gun a real all rounder and perfect for a walk around the farm yard and even back garden duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
