Marlin model 60 stock bullpup
Posted November 17, in Shooting by Oleg Volk with No Comments. They are both accurate rifles that require a bit of effort to hold steady due to their length. Recently, I had a chance to play with a very odd-looking bullpup conversion stock that converts either of these rifles or the take-down Pappoose carbine into a bullpup.
Before attaching the stock, Brian had the barrel shortened sightly, moved the front sight, and threaded the muzzle. The rifle is usable with the included iron sights, but the open rear sight is too close to the eye.
If iron sights are your preference, use the excellent Tech Sight solution. I preferred to use the optional optic mount that replaces the rear sight and installed a basic Primary Arms MD06 red dot sight.
It also allowed a slightly more comfortable cheek weld.
NEW IN BOX! MUZZELITE BULLPUP RIFLE STOCK for Marlin 60; LATEST DESIGN
A Gemtech 22wmr suppressor I had on hand completed the assembly. In the future, I will add a light and a laser to the side rails. The trigger is surprisingly decent, basically unchanged from the stock rifle. The cheek weld looks awkward but feels comfortable.
So it is possible to shoot the rifle to the limit of its mechanical accuracy. I tried it indoors with my elbows rested on a bench. After about rounds, the rifle got dirty enough that only supersonics would cycle. After , it needed cleaning. Most surprisingly, the rifle remained as accurate off the bench.
Another friend stopped by, a three gun competitor.
He did the same thing standing. Although a new shooter, he was able to do routine hits from standing on the same steel plate at 75 yards. Between the unusual head position and the charging handle acting as a brass deflector, no casings came anywhere near his face. The grip of the kit has space for a spare magazine so you can carry 20 rounds within the gun.
Because of my experience with Keltec CMR30 and the Walther. The buttplate snaps off to reveal a storage compartment for cleaning materials or more ammunition.
Even though I am lukewarm on the in stock configuration, the bullpup was so much fun that I wanted it for myself and convinced Brian to sell me his. If you want one of your own, quite a few options exist. All kits come with printed assembly instructions and a DVD, two side rails, and two sling mounts.
