Bullpup...

I've been looking at some really hot bullpup style rifles. I like the accuracy without the overall length idea. I've even found a couple that I think would be really fun to shoot or even own... Except for me, apearantly manufactures have after decades of only making "specialty" firearms to accomidate the 20% of us that are left handed has finally decided to leave us out entirely on this concept. Now I realize that it would really be a difficult task to retool the equipment to start making rifles that could eject to the left and then the modifacation kits to turn these into bullpups. Couple that with the fact that not all of the 20% are shooting sport advacates it does seem a little frivalous. I just wanted to say as a left handed shooter who would like a nice Ak-47 or Ruger 10/22 in a bullpup set up, this sucks!

Remington 870 project

While in the market for a Remington 870 shotgun I was preempted by my father who told me to save my money he had and extra. Now what he is going to provide for me on a prolonged temporary status is a remington 870 with standard wood furniture and a 28 inch barrel. Personally not liking the taste of bird in inte particular was looking to go more in a slug thrower concept. While not overly inthusiastic about the modifications he has agreed to let me go in this direction. What I'm intending to do is replace the barrel with a 20 inch with rifle sights, colapseable stock, railed forend with verticle grip and offset tactical flashlight mount. Finish it off with a shell holder and single point quick release sling mount to allow my m4 sling to double for both firearms. The set up should provide ample range and knocked down for in valley deer hunting along with the tactical desires for home protection. I won't be able to begin construction until I get up to pick up the shotgun but I will provide pictures before during and after the transformation.
