New project coming soon

[Fast14riot]

Came across one of those different and oddball things of the gun world and decided to buy it purely for curiosity's sake.



Yes, that is a bullpup, single shot stock, custom trigger linkage, and forward scope mounts. This fits a 788 in .222.

Why the heck not!

Interesting, keep us posted please.

Waiting on delivery of the stock and I need to bring home the 788 still, as well. This is going to be an interesting puzzle as there is no information associated with what is what and how it goes together.

I can put together what most everything is just from the photos, but it's going to be a matter of getting it all in front of me and figuring it out, lol!

Should make for some good conversation at the range!

Wow that's an awesome find. Going to be a great project. I can't wait to see it together

thats gets me thinking- how long will OAL be?

788 standard barrels were 22 or 24 inches, so I imagine overall would be somewhere around 34-36" I'm guessing. The seller had zero details with it.

ETA: just saw a picture in the sale ad, stock is 32" long

I can tell what many of them are from the picture as well, but I'm going to wait until I have the entire puzzle in front of me

I'd be interested in seeing it! I've found a few pics online of similar builds, too, but most look like gunsmith specials.

Thats going to be weird as hell but its definitely different

I wonder about cycling the bolt. Does it have to be a single shot? You mite be able to inlet the mag box down into the butt

Likely will interfere with the forward trigger linkage.

Exactly!

Please dont forget the updates!
I love me some 788 shenanigans.

that makes sense

 

[Fast14riot]

that makes sense

Probably could make something similar to a 1911 trigger that goes around the mag, but that would be a large span around it. There is also the fact that the 788 uses only DBM style and not a BDL or ADL like many others.
