OK, first, real world:
995's run about $248 where I live. Actually I think I gave $238 for the last one I bought. High Tower stock. Price is not in, they estimate "$199-$299" My best guess is they will be around the $199 to $249 range...these guys know people will not spend too much on a 995. So my best guess would be a completed Bull Pup...built on new parts...will be in the $500 range, give or take. Again, people who own 995's already have the rifle so the stock is just a "upgrade" for them. Your PSA, based on your numbers would come in at a bit over $700. Not a bad price but again, its a PSA not a Rock River or CMMG. ( I own PSA gear...I know what its like). So, for the person who already owns the Hi-Point, the people most likely to buy this stock, they are looking at spending say $250. For this they get a neat looking, dependable Bull Pup rifle. For the person looking for a Bull Pup, this is a deal. If you currently don't own a 9mm PCC are are starting from zero then the math is different.
Then the question becomes do you want a Bull Pump rifle or do you just want a 9mm carbine? Different question with different criteria. If you just want a 9mm carbine then you can compare the $700 PSA to a Hi-Point 995 at $250. Compare apples to apples. If you are looking for a Bull Pup carbine then you have to compare the $500 Hi-Point to .....??? $1700 quality Bull Pups? That is the consideration on this kit....Bull Pup to Bull Pup.
PSA doesn't seem to offer a 9mm, .40 or .45 Bull Pup, do they?

I admit that it looks cool, but I don't see the value proposition. I have a 995 because it is cheap, reliable and accurate. It makes a great home defense carbine and range toy. My problem is that I could build a 9mm AR or buy a more prestigious brand for the cost of the carbine plus stock.
You are kidding right? I mean I own a collection of PCC's. I have sold several of my 9mm ARs. I have a pretty good handle on what rifles cost. Price a 9mm AR. You can buy this stock and a 995 rifle to put it on for half or less than the average 9mm AR costs.
Hipoint 995ts With Scope At Gander $309 (this Is On The High End)
Bullpup Kitb$300
Redball 20rnd mag $23
Psa 9mm Ar a2 Style
Lower glock $259

You don't need tp get your panties in a bunch. I also don't see the need for cartridge conversions for BP revolvers when used Rugers sell for about $400.
