Out of Production and Rare
GIAT FAMAS Century imported under 1000 in the late 80s prior to the import ban, I've heard 500 and 900, not sure exactly how many but good luck finding one
SA-80/L85 Apperantly there are three semi auto SA-80/L85s in the US, two standard configuration one set up as a LSW. I'm actually fairly familiar with the convoluted story behind those but that's another post.
Walther WA2000 less then 200 produced, available if you're willing to drop $75k  


I'm pretty sure that's all the bullpups that have been on the US market, if I missed any please correct me.

There were 100 FAMAS semi auto copies (some sources report 120) imported into the U.S. in 1989 by Century Arms.

As far as assault rifles go, I think the realistic list of weapons available in the US is:

Steyr AUG/USR
MSAR STG-556, E4
TPD AXR
Kel-Tec RFB
Bushmaster M17S
FNH PS90
FNH FS2000

The rest mentioned so far are either stupendously expensive (collectors only) or other weapon types like precision rifle, shotgun.

Really not that much to choose from when you think about it.  Where's our damn Tavor?

You can also put a Mini 14, Mini 30, or 10/22 in a Muzzlelite bullpup stock.

There is also the Century Arms AK bullpup and the hard to find KVAR bullpup stocks for the AK.

Jager AP85 FAMAS copy in .22lr

HK CAWS bullpup shotgun

HK OWIC 20mm bullpup

Barrett XM500

Barrett M95

M14 bullpup

I cannot think of the name but there was a pump action .308 bullpup that was imported from Germany about 10 years ago.  I remember they were expensive.

I actaully saw not one but three of these for sale at a recent gunshow, all form the same vendor, well used for $600 each.  They were high-tech in their day with a built in flashlight and everything, but these days the flashlight looks comically huge- basically a Maglight mounted over the barrrel in the integral plastic body of the weapon.

If you guys feel like updating/creating Wikipedia articles on weapons that are missing from this list, I'm sure there are those who would appreciate it.   I'm not sure how many Wikipedia-haters there are here...

I think I might start an article on the TPD AXR.  Currently, the TPD AXR and MSAR STG-556 are only mentioned in the Steyr AUG article.

Just for the sake of completeness:

Apparently Sommers Ockenfuss made various bullpup bolt-action rifles:



While I'm here, this thread also left out the Prairie River muzzleloader bullpup.  I almost bought one of these in 2000, and they were only $300ish then.  Too bad I didn't, that would've been major bullpup cred:

The Kintrek KBP-1 is a .22 LR Bullpup semi-automatic rifle chambered for the .22 LR cartridge. It was manufactured for only 1 year (1991) by Kintrek Incorporated in Owensboro, Kentucky. (Wikipedia)

Really interesting rifle. Pivoting sweeper pushes spent rounds into a disposal chute to the bottom of the stock. Plastic magazines have a spiral wound spring that pulls the follower up. Squeeze grip safety.

I had a KBP-1 several years ago. I've got pics around here somewhere; I'll try to dig them up & post later.

Saw the kit in the latest Spotsmen's Guide catalog they mailed me.....for about $197,    They used to sell for almost half that price.

so,
did you guys get your Highstandards to run?  I heard they were always troublsome and could never really be made 100% reliable.  

I would be glad to be wrong.  

Course, I would probably just Bullpup a S12 before I got a HS, since I'm already into that.

YOU hear a LOT of stuff on the internet that really isn't 100% reliable... Someone reads something where someone says they heard that someone else HAD problems with (fill-inda-blanques). A few thousand someones read that post & the next thing you know... it's GOSPEL or something. Nothing beats hands-on experience in my book... NOTHING! After awhile, you get e'nuff folks repeating the same cr@p over & over; it's what I call "REGURGITATING PARROT SYNDROME™"

"I thought that I was wrong once... I was mistaken!"
-Steven Wright

The Model 10A & Model 10B POLICE bullpup shotguns were a radical departure & way ahead of their time. Whether it's a shotgun or a small carbine, it's hard to beat a full-power/compact weapon system for vehicular use & CQB; a bullpup excels in that role. Some say... that parts are NOT available & the gun is a collector's piece. Charles Cholly Steen of SARCO has 400 complete* parts kits available for the 10B series... receiver, furniture, barrel etc. The ONLY exclusion is the proverbial *KEL-LITE & mounting bracket. I tried to talk him into building those kits into guns, but he said that he already had too many irons in the fire. Fine... that gives me a lifetime's worth of parts in case something breaks or just wears out. I've owned two 10As & two 10Bs & never broke anything. Like a Benelli M1 Super90, they do not prefer "light" tactical loads & run like a champ on moderate to high powered slugs & buckshot. You can't easily run a conventional 12ga shotgun with one hand, but the High Standard bullpups are designed to be fired that way if necessary... cuffing a perp or firing from an open cruiser window with the other hand on the steering wheel. These are highly underrated weapons & those who know, covet them. Most of the bullpups you see at gun shows these days are beat to hell & mint examples command a premium.
