Are there some options for a 7.62x39 bullpup?

Norinco Type 86S

****ing ugly.

Those pop up on the auction sites every now and then. In the $2000 price range.

There is also the crappy KVAR/CAI "AKU-94" bullpup conversion kit for AK type rifles.

Don't forget the bullpup SKS. I've handled one, and its not bad at all.

There is the Shernic Gun works sks which imho is the best one for the sks. I had a Chinese sks paratrooper without a stock and bought the kit. Very well balanced, nice trigger and fun to shoot. Not a lightweight by any stretch however. My 9 year old daughter likes it too.

Why do you want a bullpup? In 7.62x39 you are mostly looking at AK variants and while few AK bullpups have been made, the design has never been very successful.

If the goal is to have a compact weapon in x39 I'd look at AK side folders. The AK works very well with a folding stock and unlike 556 the x39 does not suffer that much from a short barrel so you can have an serious SBR with 10" barrel in a size that fits easily into a normal backpack. Sig SG 553R is a great example of this type of a rifle but there are other similar designs too.

Steyr has just released a .300BLK barrel for the AUG/A3.

Can you give more details on this? There is no information about this anywhere else and I had not heard about this from Pete Athens.

I got an email from Pete a week ago. My AUG/A3 was sold in April to finance my Tavor purchase. I like the Tavor much more than the Steyr. I believe there were only 85 barrels in .300BLK available. Better hurry!

I've never handled these, just saw some pics which looked quite clean.

Looks like AK variants, SKS, 10/22, SAIGA and more
