Hi Guys,
With help from Ghillebear I finally got my SL8/G36 Bullpup project running. It turned out pretty cool. Its not the best looking gun ever, and the trigger pull is only slightly better than my VP70, but it proves that the SL8/G36 design can be made into a Bullpup. It has a 16.5in barrel and the overall length on the rifle is 30in, imagine how short it could be with a C barrel! I wanted to make the design so that you would not have to modify the upper receiver at all, and I used an old grey SL8-1 forearm and stock since they are super cheap. The forward pistol grip is a cheap US made lower I bought from RCM for $25, but you could also use one of the cheap $7 SUO lowers from Apex. I still need to tweak the cable so it slides smoother, that should help the trigger pull.
For those who have not been following the progress, this whole thing started back on this tread. http://www.hkpro.com/forum/hk-long-gun-talk/110669-g36-custom-build-help.html
I will try to get a video of it running up next week. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanx,
Trevor
