    Mini-14 Bullpup?

    I've searched the forum here & didn't see anything so....

    I've decided that I need (want a lot) a Mini-14. I've also decided that it should be a bullpup. It can't be the Muzzelite, because I want something good. I've looked about the 'net, but haven't seen anything out there.

    As my Google-foo may be weak, I'll ask: Is there a decent bullpup stock out there for the Mini-14?

    Bullpup config will require a bullet button. In general, all bullpup kits will have questionable triggers. If you really want a bullpup why covert a mini instead of getting something like an AUG clone or other available bullpup designs.

    Some would argue that converting a mini, gets the worst of all worlds; need a bb, propriety mags, and questionable mini accuracy.

      The muzzlelite bullpup stock kit is not that good, but it's consider the best commerically available bullpup kit for the Mini-14.

      I agree with drclark, in that the bullpup conversion kits perform poorly when compared to factory designed bullpup rifles.

      Another thing to factor in is that if the bullpup kit is for a semi-auto centerfire rifle, the overall length needs to be 30" or greater. This is in addition to a maglock + 10 round magazine.

        I can live the other matters, but if the Muzzelite is the best there is, I'm going to have to re-think.

        Thanks guys. I'm off to search for what's out there factory designed.
