Quoted:
The MWG bullpup stock is fine IF you only use 10 round mags. The design does not allow for the use of hi-caps due to the position of the pistol grip. You will have to do alot of work like trimming off the casting flash and polishing the trigger transfer bar contact points.

Not necessarily true, but you do have to modify the stock a bit and play with the screw tension until you get it right. I've done it to my two bullpup 10/22's. The only thing you really have to do with the MWG bullpups are to the handgrip (see picture of my buddy Hillman's Website):

I've done this to my bullpup. Just requires a small cut with a bandsaw or hacksaw. Works wonders. The reason you filed on your trigger transfer bar is because you tightened the stock too much. Note: if you overtighten the pistol-grip screw and/or the carry-handle screw, the trigger transfer bar sometimes sticks so much that it doesn't work at all! It's because people don't know what tension to which they should tighten the stock.
Like [B]***ALL***[/B] Ruger 10/22's, the MWG stock requires some tweaking, but it's damn nice when you get it working. It's SO FUN to shoot too!!!
Get a decent (Note I say decent, not overpriced, because any one will do fine) laser or red-dot site, mounted below the [B]BARREL[/B]. It's imperative that you mount it to the barrel, because the stock scope mount is NOT very good/accurate. See my friend's silenced (legally) version below:

NOTE: He installed a custom switch on this bull-pup stock's handle, not one of those damn pesky pressure activated switches that comes with them.
The best part of the MWG bullpup is that it's made of plastic, and can be EASILY modified like a plastic model car, but it's MUCH MORE DURABLE than that...
IMHO, it's (the stock) worth the money. My friend & I used to take ours underneath the flood-plain drainage system & shoot frogs & snakes underneath the vast labrynth of tunnels for the town's irrigation system. Ahh... The memories of my childhood, I'll never forget them.
Chuck, you cannot use the full-auto simulators on the bullpup stock though. The recoil buffers WILL help a little. Check out Hillman's testing of buffers here:

PS. For the past three years I've been camping out at rimfirecentral.com which is [I][B]THE[/B][/I] authority in Ruger 10/22's and rimfire rifles/pistols. Thank you for posting that link RAF!!! [:)]
