Bullpup rifles have always triggered the sci-fi nerd in me. I love the old joke that they are the rifle of the future\u2014and always will be. If I ever want to LARP (live-action role play) like I’m in “The Expanse” or as a Space Marine, I’m turning to a bullpup rifle. With that in mind, I’m also confused by the lack of bullpup PCC options. There are plenty of bullpup rifles out there, but bullpup PCCs seem few and far between in this massive market.<\/p>\n

Why Bullpup PCCs?<\/h2>\n

Why not? They make a good bit of sense. Bullpups are designed to be more compact rifles, and the PCC is often a smaller operating system which can result in a very small and very lightweight carbine. Plus, PCCs are just fun. Ammo is cheap, mags are plentiful<\/a>, and the guns tend to be easy to handle.<\/p>\n

There also seems to be some NFA and ATF sneakery inbound regarding braced pistols. A bullpup with a 16-inch barrel avoids the NFA but still provides a small and compatible pistol caliber platform.<\/p>\n

Sadly there isn’t a whole lot of them. In fact, these days, there is only one standard production bullpup PCC on this list. However, the love of bullpup PCCs has driven several companies to produce PCC bullpup kits. As the great Jeff Goldblum said, “Bullpups, uh\u2026find a way.”<\/p>\n

The High Tower Armory + Hi-Point Carbine<\/h2>\n

Do you want a bullpup PCC but don’t want to spend a ton of money? Well, it’s possible to get into the bullpup PCC world for less than $500 or so. It starts with a Hi-Point carbine in nearly any caliber, from 10mm to .380 ACP, and then you drop it into a High Tower Armory stock system. The end results in an affordable, super short bullpup rifle chambered in a variety of different calibers.<\/p>\n

\"Hi-Point
If you want affordable you can’t go wrong with the Hi-Point and High Tower design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In fact, this is the only bullpup PCC option that allows you to utilize cartridges like the 10mm. A 10mm bullpup carbine is quite handy and quite powerful. The high Tower Armory kit is space age with a mixture of Picatinny rails and M-LOK slots for all the customization you could want. The kit is also ambidextrous, and a brass deflector allows lefties to wield it with ease. Left-handed bullpups are a rare commodity.<\/p>\n

The downside really comes down to the Hi-Point carbine. It’s admittedly a standard blowback gun without a great trigger. The magazines are limited severely by their single-stack design, and the gun is far from refined. However, for less than 500 bucks, you could have a space-age blaster at your side, and that’s tough to beat in this economy.
