Very nice posting. You saved me some time, as I have been searching for a nice tactical shotgun and have had some interest in the south african bullpup design since the 70’s. Apparently though, as a plain old American citizen I can’t have one. Thank you for your effort.

I am a big believer in the shotgun as an implement of CQB, particularly for the home defense role.

But I was under the impression that the Neostead design had been around since the 1970s, and every few years another importer tries to obtain licensing to import them into the US, but the BATmen are quite clear on their position: they consider this to be a military firearm rather than a hunting firearm, therefore they declare it to have “no sporting purpose,” therefore it is a “destructive device,” therefore its possession is verboten to us peasants, full stop.

There are a lot of things from SA I’d like to see imported into the US. Supposedly there is a polymer frame assembly for the venerable Browning Hi-Power in production there, and there are (or at least used to be) pictures of one example at Steven Camp’s excellent “High Powers and Handguns” page, but these too are forbidden to the American consumer by the BATmen.

haha! You probably don’t need to. Some IDF commando is sure to turn up at the next wedding you go to, armed with one!

Steve,
Incredibly detailed post! Nice Job!
There’s almost enough information here for me to build one myself.
