J Bunting Machine Ruger 10/22 Bullpup Stock

A reader brought my attention to Jim Bunting, who is producing a nifty bullpup stock for the Ruger 10/22. The stock chassis is CNC machined from aluminum. The stock has a simple design, which I think looks much more attractive than the futuristic curvy design of bullpups such as the FN2000 and Walther G22.

The stock makes use of an AR-15 compatible pistol grip. The aluminum trigger is skeletonized. The standard package includes a 10″ top rail and 2″ under rail. Side rails are optional.

The system is compatible with Ruger 10/22 extended magazines and regular magazines. Judging from the photos, an extended charging handle is required.

I would love a rifle like this with a 14″ barrel registered as a Short Barrel Rifle. It would be the ultimate pack gun.

The basic stock costs $295. A vented for-end (pictured above) costs an additional $80 and side rails costs $40-$50. According to the website there is a waiting list.

[ Many thanks to Kody for emailing me the link. ]

    At $300 or $400, depending on accessories, just by a Mossberg 715T Tactical .22lr for around $250, or a SW MP-15-22 for around $425, or the Ruger SR-22, AR-15-style .22lr for around $475.

      @Don Allred I think you've missed the point, sir. It's a bullpup, and a damn well built one, too. $200 for a 10/22 and $300 for this kit, and you have one of the finest quality 22lr bullpups I've ever seen. I challenge one to show me 22lr bullpup of this quality for anywhere near $500.
